Im organising my sisters baby shower for April and need some ideas for good/funny games. I've been to a few in the past and not all of the games were good, some were downright painful, especially for the mum to be!!
One im doing is called "The Night of Conception". It's a funny running commentary of comments made by the mum to be... I dont want to give too much away on it in case my sister reads this :p ! But if you've played it, you'll know what im talking about!
At a friend's one we had guess the baby food, where we had to taste baby food out of a jar and guess what flavour it was (harder than you think LOL) We also had match the celebrity to their baby/child, memory game where you put say 12 baby related items on a tray, et everyone look at them then take them away and get people to write the ones they remember.
Google baby shower games- there are whole sites devoted to it!
Just dont do the weigh the mum game or guess the bump measurement as these really arent nice games for the mum to be.
One game that was fun that I played at a friends baby shower was a comp to see who could scull the water out of a baby bottle the fastest. Harder than waht you think when you are drinking from a teat! Your jaw gets a massive workout!
The baby food one is good as well. funny to see peoples faces squirm at different foods. Some of the desserts are quite yummy though! LOL!
Celebrity Mums is fun. Just like Celebrity Heads. Get 3 caps, and a list of celebrity mums.Ask 3 guests to sit in front of the other guests, place the cap on their head and they have to ask yes or no questions to guess who they are.
If you have a heap of ladies that don't know eachother, a good ice breaker is the peg game. When each guest arrives pin a say 4 pegs to their clothes. The game begins once everyone is seated. The rule of the game is to spot anyone who crosses their legs. If a guest spots another crossing her legs then she takes a peg for herself. At the end the lady with the most pegs wins. This game breaks down barriers and people generally have a laugh.
HTH
plasticine game - you give each guest a small roll of the stuff and give them 5 mins or so to make what they think the mums baby will look like.....you get some great ones....and some really not so great (but very funny) ones too....
Guessing game - Get a piccie of the mums ultrasound pic. Put in a photo frame with a white border around it. Get everyone to write down the ETA: time, date, weight and sex. Its lovely for the mum to keep, put in babys room and keep forever.....its also nice to find when baby is born who was the closest !!!
Also, google baby shower games....there are zillions out there !!!!
My fave game is to get about 8 nappies, and 8 different choc bars. Microwave each choc bar until soft and then mush it up and put one in each nappy. Give everyone a piece of paper numbered 1-8 (and number the nappies) and they have to guess which choc bar is in which nappy. They can smell and look at it. It is disgusting but hilarious!! xo
A friend of mine had each guest bring a baby pic of themselves & then all the gurests had to guess who's pic belonged to who.
Baby bingo is a fun game too, can download it off the net.
Those 2 that Blue Iris suggested are I think the only ones Ive played, and they were good especially the photos one.
I've also played the guess which items have been removed game too.
Pick about 12 items, usually baby related items, show everyone then remove an item.
Oh geez I've organised a baby shower for myself with no games?? Just told all the girls to bring a plate of food to share and was planning on sitting around/chatting etc...the only 'game' I was gonna do was everyone puts $5 in a jar and guesses the babys birthdate/time and whoever is closest wins all the money...is this silly?
get some nappies ie aldi ones,nuthin too expensive and get some markers and get your friends to write comments on them for when you change bubs,worth a laugh
