You’re at a baby shower and it’s game time and the hostess asks for volunteers. Nobody volunteers. Why?? I think many of us have nightmares of baby showers where we were made to eat baby food while the person feeding us was blindfolded. Yucky and messy – unless of course you were lucky and got fruit flavored baby food which was usually not the case – but messy either way! Some may like these games but me – I can do without!

Hence this post – I’d like to get some good feedback and ideas from you for fun, free or inexpensive baby shower games. I have many ideas which I will be adding but I’d like your input too!

OK first game. This one isn’t free but not very pricey either.

Supplies needed:

10 small gifts for mom (pacifiers, onesies, baby spoons etc)
10 brown paper lunch bags
sheets of paper for all guests
pencils

Preparation:

The hostess will purchase 10 small gifts, put one small gift in each bag, seal it and number the bag.

At the shower:

- Give each guest a sheet of paper and pencil. Have them write the numbers 1-10 on the paper.
- Hand out all the brown bags.
- Have the guests feel the bags and guess what is inside the bag then write it down on the appropriate number on their paper.

For example. The bag labeled 1 may have a brush and comb in it. On their paper each guest must write “brush and comb” by number 1. You can give partial credit for guessing one of the two – scoring is up to you.

Some items need to be a bit tougher – onesies, washcloths, socks, infant hats – may all “feel” similar and will make the game a bit more interesting.

Mom can then open her “gifts” to see who got which answers correct. This game is fun, it isn’t messy, and it is close to free since the hostess will be getting gifts for the mom anyway! We played this game at my most recent baby shower and everyone enjoyed it! We needed a tie breaker so we split some bags that had more than one item in it to count for 2 points.

Have fun!
