In this game, the gift is a personal gift for the mother to be.  As a surprise, don't tell anyone who the gift is actually for (especially the mother-to-be), but let everyone think that anyone can unwrap the gift and win.  Also, make sure that the mother-to-be is sitting the closest to the front door (see #2). To see who starts the game, have a pen or pencil and a piece of paper for everyone. Tell everyone to put their pen or pencil in the opposite hand that they write with and when you say go they are to write their first and last name. The first one done gets to unwrap the outside layer of the gift only (see #6 below).

(This game can also be played at a bridal shower, instead of baby shower).

  1. Wrap the gift and attach this verse on top of the gift: "We can not defer any longer the rightful one must know for her this gift was intended the mother to be (name), to her it must go."
  2. Wrap again and attach this verse: "Another wrapping must come off, there can not be many more. Give it now to her that sits closest to the front door."
  3. Wrap again and attach this verse: "The one who has the longest shoe on this gay occasion should have the gift passed on to her by way of consolation."
  4. Wrap again and attach this verse: "Since this is not for you or her with the bluest eyes, perhaps the one with the broadest grin should carry off the prize."
  5. Wrap again and attach this verse: "We are sorry to disappoint and must apologize, please give this gift without delay to her with the bluest eyes."
  6. Wrap again - there is no verse for this one. more Baby Shower Games

Baby Shower Game Switch or Keep
Deal out a deck of cards to the guests. Each guest receives three cards. You might have to deal two decks. Keep two decks of cards for yourself. Yell out the cards. Those with corresponding cards then hand them to the hostess and grab a gift. There should at least be five gifts (non expensive, be creative). This gift can be kept by the recipient or taken by another person playing. The next card is called and the game continues with the gifts being passes around until the last card is called. The gifts are then opened by those who still have one. ENJOY!!!

Baby Shower Game Taste It!
You buy 6 or more baby foods. Put a little of each on a disposable plate with a number written beside it. Each guest gets a sheet of paper with their guess as to what each number is....tough ones like sweet potatoes or blueberries are always toughies...it's always lots of fun to watch peoples faces when they taste peas or squash.

Baby Shower Game Tag a Name
If the mother does not have a name already picked out simply put an admired name for both a boy and girl or one or the other on the gift tag of the present bought for baby. This game has helped some of my friends pick beautiful names that they never dreamed of. It is so easy to get confused with so many names out there to choose from.

Baby Shower Game Tray of baby items-with a twist
Purchase several baby items (diaper, bottle, pacifier, comb etc) before shower and arrange them all on a tray. Have the mom-to-be pass the tray around then find a reason to excuse herself. Once she is gone the hostess tells the guests to write down as many things as the Mom-to-be was wearing (color outfit, hair accessories, earrings etc). This will shock your guests because they are expecting to write down the items. They were probably not looking at the mom so it will be tough, but fun. more Baby Shower Games

Baby Shower Game The Bag Game
You'll need large paper bags (you can get them free at the grocery store!)

Give all your guest a bag and have them to place the bag over their head. Then ask the participants to take off something they really don't need. It may sound boring but it is so funny when you see women taking off rings, shoes and even clothing not thinking it's the bag on their head that they really don't need. And of course whomever takes off the bag first is the winner! And the participants who still have the bag on, you continue to ask them to take off something they really don't need, if the participants still don't get the hint just tell them without laughing too loud to take that silly bag off their head(s). 

Baby Shower Game The Baby Was Conceived
This is really not a game - It is just pure fun and the guests can get involved.  Have one of the hostess write down everything the mother-to-be says when she opens a gift. After all the gifts are opened, read the comments out loud and explain that everything she said when she opened the gifts were the things she said the night her baby was conceived.

To let the guests be involved and to take away some of the pressures of the hostess let the guests write down what the mother-to-be says when she opens the gift they brought.

Baby Shower Game T-Shirt Designers
Not really a game but a fun activity for everyone. The hostess provides onesies or t-shirts for baby - different sizes so baby has some as he/she grows. Also, hostess provides cardboard for inside of t-shirts and fabric paints.

Guests are asked to design a t-shirt for the new little one. Could be a favorite sports team, favorite pastime of Mom or Dad or a cute baby theme.  The new Mom receives the t-shirts for baby after they dry. more Baby Shower Games

Baby Shower Game TV family show children
I made this game up for my daughter in laws baby shower, since our family had several baby showers during one year, we were all tired of the same old games. I made a list of TV sitcoms with family themes. Wonder Years, Bewitched, Walton's, Family Ties, the Nanny, Brady Bunch, are just a few I listed. Beside the name of the show, I listed the number of children's names needed. At the bottom of the page I wrote all the names of the children characters to choose from. I had the guests play in teams of two or three. Everyone at three showers loved playing this game, it appeals to a wide range of ages since older shows are being shown on cable and more current shows are regular viewing. This game seems to be a great "ice breaker". We made sure that everyone won a "prize".

Baby Shower Game Veggie fruit Race
What you need: 2 Nylons, A Potato, 2 Oranges.

Baby Shower Game Who's Baby is Who?
When I sent out the invitations, I enclosed a self address stamped envelope asking guests to send a baby picture of themselves. Informing them pictures will be returned. When I received all the pictures I color copied them. I cut the pictures into circles and glued them to silhouettes of pregnant ladies (die cuts from scrapbook store). I glued them to a poster board and the guests had to figure out everyone's baby picture. This is also good for name tags. more Baby Shower Games

Baby Shower Game Yum Yum Diaper Race
Before party starts, place one small scoop of Rocky Road ice cream in diaper and close diaper neatly. (One per guess.) When it is time to play this game, have all the guests who are playing, sit around a table facing each other. When guests are ready, come out with tray filled with cute little diapers. Tell guests that they cannot touch diapers until host signals. Place cute diaper in front of each guest. When each guest has the diaper ask every one at the same time to open their diaper. Then they all immediately must place their hands behind their backs and on the count of 3, whoever eats all the ice cream first, must stand up and raise their hand. That is the winner!  Bon Appetite!
