Baby Shower Games

With every baby shower, there are baby games. Games can be bought, downloaded from the internet, or created at home. Some examples of popular shower games include Baby Jeopardy, Alphabet Games and College Fund Games.

Baby Jeopardy is a fun way to incorporate any number of questions into a format most guests are already familiar. Divide your guests into two or three teams and hand out the game cards. The categories can be anything from Celebrity Parents to Who Knows Mom and Dad. The host asks questions until one team has five in a row down, across or diagonal. If time allows, the entire card can be played and the team with the most money wins.

Alphabet Games are also popular and easy. All players are given a preprinted list with the letters A to Z printed and are asked to list a category in a timed fashion. Categories can range from baby items, animals and finally baby names. Games can be limited to a set time or run until the first guest has all the letters filled out.

College Fund Games are a great way to start the baby’s first savings account. One idea is a raffle open to all the guests. Entry for the raffle includes $1 for a ticket or $5 for ten tickets. The winner of the raffle gets a gift card or other present and the money starts the new bank account. Another version of this idea is played using the mother’s first and last name to make a list of words using the letters of the name. For every word created, the player donates ten cents into the fund. The winner with the most words gets the prize.
