Baby shower game ideas and fun activities for laughter-filled events

Baby shower game ideas can transform parties to lively, exciting events people remember for a long time. Of course, fun activities are always welcome at most parties. The biggest advantage of having a baby shower game or two is that they get the guests to mingle and interact with each other. These fun activities become especially important if many of the guests don't know each other too well; perhaps the only person they know is the expectant mother. In such cases, these activities can be real icebreakers.

Here are a few baby shower game ideas to start you off on the right track. What's the best way to make use of these fun activities listed? Use them as starting points for your own original ideas. Yes, if you can come up with your own unique twist or angle to any of them, the guests will appreciate something that's different and enjoyable.

Let's get into these baby shower game ideas.

Balloons cross the room: This is a favorite baby shower game for many folks. Put colored balloons into a laundry basket and place it at one end of the room. Place an empty basket at the other end. Divide the guests into two or three teams. One team starts off with a team member taking a balloon in her hands and placing it between her knees. Now, she has to carry it across the room and drop it into the basket - without using her hands in any way! She's allowed to jump over the basket to drop it in, if necessary. Once she gets it into the basket or drops the balloon, she runs back and the second member of her team repeats the process. The team with the most balloons successfully deposited wins!

Words of wisdom: Here's another baby shower game that's been a hit at parties. Give 3" X 5" cards to everyone. Ask them to write down a common baby related question or problem on one side. For e.g., "What will you do if the baby starts crying at 3:00 am?" Or, "How do you handle it when baby has an upset stomach?" Once everyone has written down their questions, take back the cards. Shuffle them well, and re-distribute the cards to everyone - at random! Now ask them to write down on the other side of the card the answer to their original question, without looking at the question that's actually written on the card. Collect the cards; read out the questions and answers on each card! This is an instant laughter generator and one of those truly fun activities! Try it and see.

Did she really say that? Here's another great baby shower game - but one to be played only if mommy doesn't feel offended! Get someone to discreetly note down mom-to-be's comments when she's opening gifts. Finally, after that part is over, announce that whatever she said during gift opening was also what she said on the night the baby was conceived! Read out her comments aloud - and you'll have her blushing in no time at all! Imagine what an innocent comment like "Oooh, how cute!" will sound in this new light!

Speeches with strings attached: Yet another baby shower game for laughs. Ask everyone to cut a length of string from a ball you provide. They'll all think it's for measuring mommy-to-be's waist. Now, ask each guest to talk about themselves, about how they know mommy-to-be, special advice for her, etc, while slowly wrapping the string around their little finger!
