Baby shower games

Baby shower games.
No printing.

These need a phone and nothing else. The first three are ours: everybody writes into one card and the person it is for reads them on the day. The rest are the ones everybody knows.

  1. Wishes for the baby

    Send one link round. Everybody writes one wish, signed with their name. It opens on the day.

  2. Guess the day and the weight

    The same card, with the two guesses as questions people answer in their own words.

  3. Guess the word

    Pick a word that means something to them. They guess it before they read the card.

The ones everybody knows

  • Don't say baby

    Everybody gets a peg or a ribbon at the door. Say the word and whoever heard you takes it. Most at the end wins.

  • Guess the belly

    Cut a length of string to the size you think, then measure. Closest wins, and nobody has to say a number out loud.

  • Baby bingo

    Fill a grid with what you think gets unwrapped. Cross them off as the presents open.

  • Name that tune

    Songs with baby, child or mother in the title. First to shout it gets the point.

  • The nappy game

    Melted chocolate in a nappy, and everybody guesses which bar it was. It is exactly as silly as it sounds.
