Baby Shower Games and Stuff
Fun Icebreakers and Printable Games
There's nothing like celebrating the arrival of a new baby. Baby shower games are definitely not the highlight of such an occasion. The little guest of honor seems to steal the show every time.
That said, since everyone can't have the baby at the same time why not entertain the others with one of these games or activities.
Don't forget the invitations...
Want to add an extra personal touch to the shower? Create your own printable baby shower invitations. Include a favorite poem and a picture of the new baby (if a photo is available). The invitations will double as terrific keepsakes for guests and mom alike.

- Name That Baby - Have each of your guests bring their baby picture and a recent picture of themselves to the shower. Set up numbers next to the baby pictures. (You can do this by folding small squares of paper in half, numbering them and placing them above the picture.)Set up letters next to the recent pictures.Give your guests a numbered list and have them write down which lettered photo they think matches each numbered photo.Wait till all the photos have arrived before displaying them (for obvious reasons).Note: Some women carpool to showers, so you may want to ask your guests not to show their photos to any of the other guests before giving them to you.

Baby Shower Memory Game
A Lot to Remember - Make up a large tray of baby stuff. (If you have to purchase it, you can always give it to the new mother afterwards.) Make sure there are a lot of items. The more the better because your guests will study the items even more intensely. Set a time limit.
While your guests are busy memorizing the items, find a way to discreetly remove the mother from the room.
When time is up give each guest a piece of paper and a pencil and begin asking questions about what the mother was wearing. Is her hair up, down, braided? Watch or no watch? What color eyeshadow? Lipstick or no lipstick? Is she wearing shoes? What color? Your questions will obviously depend on your 'celebrated mother'. It's fun to see how much your guests will actually remember, especially after trying so hard to memorize all of the baby stuff on the tray.
Variation: If the baby needs to sleep in another room (probably not) or the mother can somehow discreetly remove him/her, you could ask questions about the baby instead. Or you could ask questions about the mother and the baby?
Diaper Game Ideas
- Diaper Derby Relay
You'll need two large dolls, two diapers, four diaper pins, 2 containers or baby powder, 2 pair of baby pants, 2 baby shirts, 2 pair of baby shoes, and 2 baby hats for this game (add or subtract items as you see fit).Divide your guests into two even teams. Have a table and 2 containers of baby powder at one end of the room and line the two teams up at the other end. Give the first person on each team a fully dressed baby.At your signal these two must run to the table, fully undress the baby, powder the baby's bottom, put all the clothes back on and run the baby over to the next person on their team. Next person runs to the table, fully undresses the baby, powders the baby's bottom, etc. First team to have all its members complete the task wins. - Dirty Diaper Game - Submitted by Uva from the USA
The dirty diaper baby shower game is a riot. First you take 10 different kinds of chocolate candy bars(Twix,Snickers,M&M's etc.) and melt them in 10 diapers, numbered accordingly (via the microwave). Next, you have your guests number their papers from 1-10 and try to guess the exact type of "poop" in the diapers without tasting it. Even though most women consume candy bars on a regular basis, you'll be amazed that most people get them wrong!!!! It's also funny to see the guests' reactions when they're looking at and sniffing the "poop"!
Baby Puzzle
If you are planning a shower after the baby is born, get a copy of the newborn's picture. Have it blown up to the size of a sheet of paper at a copy store or on someone's computer. Make as many copies as you want teams.
Glue the pictures on bristol board or card stock to give them some strength. Cut each picture into 20 or more even squares and put them in an envelope (one picture per envelope).
At the shower, divide your guests into teams and see who can put their baby puzzle together first.
Variation: Mount each picture on a different colored background. Then, cut each picture up and hide the pieces or mix them up and place them in one big pile. Tell each team the color they are looking for and then let them find their pieces and put their puzzle together.
