Baby Shower Games

One of my favorite things is shower games! I had such a good time planning games for Stacy's shower. Here are some of the games we played:



1. Things Babies Do
This is a page of labels I used to make stickers. I wrote on each one a different activity that babies do, like burp, crawl, cry, mess their diaper, etc. Every lady received one on her back when she arrived. She then had to guess what hers said by asking yes and no questions of the other ladies.

2. Diaper Graffiti
Everyone wrote on the back of a disposable diaper a word beginning with the first letter of her first name. For example, my name is Marie, so I wrote on mine "I'm a miracle!" Of course, one person happened to open up her diaper during this activity to find chocolate melted in it! ha ha.

3. What's This White Stuff?

In this contest you try to figure out what the white substances in the jars are. Can you tell baby powder from coffee creamer? Is that sugar or salt? Which one is flour and which is dry milk? The winner was Stacy's Aunt Lydia, on the right. My grandaughters are in this picture. That's Chloe on the couch holding Lydia's grandbaby. Rachel is in the center and Mallory in the foreground.

4. Baby Figures

Everyone was given a piece of pink paper and asked to tear out the shape of a baby--behind their back! You'll end up with some very strange shapes! Stacy chose the winning baby--it looked like an angel with wings!

5. Guess Who Wore This!

I had collected a few old baby clothes from four generations. And we guessed who wore which ones! I have a white baby dress that my mother wore in 1920. I have my pink baby dress I wore in my baby photo (1942). I had some outfits from my children (1967-1973). And Leah brought her girls' christening dress. The photos on display provided some clues. I threw the ladies all off with one doll nightgown that really was worn only by Anna's dolls!
