The easiest way to pick up your party is to get online, get some Free Babyshower Games and have the guests play them. They are a great way to get all the guests to relax and hang loose. They work well as icebreakers especially at showers where the guests don’t know each other too well.
Here are 5 free babyshower games that you can play. The guests are guaranteed to have the time of their lives and they’ll be talking about the party long after it is over.
Guess the girth
Get a roll of toilet paper and ask each guest to take as much toilet paper as she thinks will be needed to go around the mom-to-be’s very pregnant belly. You’ll be surprised at how large people think pregnant women are! The embarrassed faces make for great picture opportunities.
Tip: Ensure that the mother-to-be is not sensitive about her new size before you play this activity.
Ban the ‘Baby’
When each guest arrives put a diaper pin on her shirt. Announce that the word ‘baby’ is banned from the party. If a guest uses the banned word then she must forfeit her pin to the guest who heard her say the word aloud. The guest who has collected the most pins at the end of the party wins. Variations: You can ban any word that you choose. You can even ban an action like crossing your legs. Most women cross their legs unconsciously so keeping them uncrossed is quite an effort. Great fun!
Gift BINGO
Give each guest blank bingo cards. Ask them to fill in 10 gifts that they think the mother-to-be will receive. As the mother opens each gift let the guests play ‘Gift BINGO’. Whoever gets the 10 gifts correct first - wins. This is a great way to entertain guests during the gift opening ceremony.
Scrambled baby
List out 20 baby related words and scramble them. Give each guest the list of scrambled words and set a timer. The guest who unscrambles the words fastest wins. Tip: Include some really easy words in the list and some very difficult ones to make the game more interesting.
Vocabulary magic
Give each guest a piece of blank paper and ask here to write out the mother-to-be’s name on the top. Then set out a timer for 2 minutes and ask the guests to make as many words as they can by using the letters from the mother’s name. The guest who thinks up the maximum number of words – wins. Variations: If the mother has a long name you can use only the first name or the last. Optionally, ask guests to come up with only baby related words.
Whichever free babyshower games you eventually decide to play the important thing to remember is that the free babyshower games must be fun and easy to play. The more complicated the rules of the game the less likely guests are to enjoy it. Keep the games simple and let your party rock!
