Homemade Baby Shower Games

Baby showers are wonderful for every mom-to-be. Her friends gather together and celebrate the upcoming baby. One of the best things about the baby shower, besides the food and gifts, is the games. The hostess can easily get the games ready with little preparation, and they will have a big impact on the shower.

Things You'll Need

• Safety pins
• Bowl
• Rice
• Toilet paper
• Clothes pins
• 5 jars baby food
• Paper
• Pens

Instructions

1. 

   Safety pins

   Pour rice and safety pins into a large bowl. Blindfold each player. Go around the room to each guest and give her one minute to find as many pins as she can. The guest who finds the most safety pins wins that game.

2. 

   Use toilet paper as a tummy tape measure.

   Go around to each guest with the roll of toilet paper. Have each one guess how many squares it will take to go around the mom-to-be's baby belly, then have her rip off a piece that length. When everyone has a piece of toilet paper, have each guest wrap her piece around the baby belly. The piece that is the closest to fitting wins.

3. 

   Clothes pins

   Give each guest a clothes pin when she arrives at the baby shower. Tell each participant that if she hears anyone say the word "baby", she can take away that person's pin. She can also lose her pin if she says "baby." The guest with the most clothes pins at the end of the shower wins.

4. 

   Baby food jars

   Remove the labels from the jars of baby food. Give each guest a pen and piece of paper. Walk around to each guest, then have her taste the baby food and write down what flavor she thinks it is. The person who guesses the most flavors wins.

Tips & Warnings

• Choose baby food flavors that are similar in color so that they are not easy to guess just by looking at them.
