A baby shower is a great way to celebrate motherhood. It is a way of helping women prepare for their birth and a way of sharing in that. It can also be great fun and there are a number of baby shower games you can play to make your shower a great experience for any guests.
There are various games online that suit a wide variety of budgets. Often the best games simply involve a bit of ingenuity. Some people prefer quieter activities while others want to perform and show off a bit. It can often be a difficult balance to achieve. Like any party, it is a good idea to try and tailor the activities to the people who are likely to be there.
As an introduction to warm up your guests you may want to start with games on paper such as a crossword or a word search. This allows them to play something without feeling silly. It is also a good way of getting people talking. In order to get people moving and talking to other people, you may want to put up pictures around the room, such as celebrity baby pictures.
Most games such as Pictionary or Charades allow you to versions of them that are just baby themed. However it is possible to be a bit more imaginative and play original baby related games. One game that often is a lot of fun is the apple sauce game. This is where you blindfold someone and get them to feed the other person apple sauce. Make sure they are well covered and you put something down on the floor as it can get messy!
You can also do variations on classics. Pairs, memory games and bingo can all be done with baby based themes. Instead of pin the tail on the donkey you can do pin the diaper and so forth.
Most of these can be done on a low budget and kept fairly simple. Spot prizes are often good fun. If you have more than one expectant mother attending the shower then you may want to give out suitable prizes. Alternatively, small chocolates or other prizes may be more fun.
In short, baby shower games provide both support and reassurance. They can make the party fun but also provide preparation for day to day life looking after a child. It is worth looking online to find more games and guidelines on how to have a successful baby shower.
