use. Utilize these party activities creatively - as starting points for

The biggest reason for having baby shower games free
at your event is that they're great icebreakers. They get the guests -
many of whom might not know each other - to mingle together and have
fun. And that's why these party activities are so important.
Here are some exciting baby shower games free for you to play at your next event.
Fill-in-the-blanks:
Let's start with the first one from the baby shower games free list.
Choose a topic from the mom-to-be's life. Example - how she met her
husband for the first time. Write a short story about it. Then remove
important words, phrases, names, etc from the story and put numbers in
their place. At the baby shower, call out the numbers and ask the
guests to guess what each number stands for (don't read out the story
beforehand, just tell them the topic). For example, someone might say,
numbers 6 and 7 stand for "Mary's birthday". Finally, fill in the
blanks with the guests' choices. And read out the full story! It's one
of those great party activities, creates instant laughter!
Carry the balloon:
Here's
another from the baby shower games free list. Another of the great
party activities. Place two laundry baskets at either end of the room.
Fill one with balloons, keep the other empty. Divide the guests into
teams. A guest from the first team picks up a balloon, places it
between her knees and carries it to the second laundry basket. While
carrying it, she can't use her hands. And she has to get it there
without dropping the balloon! She's allowed to jump or hop over the
basket to drop the balloon in. After she either gets the balloon into
the basket or drops it on the floor, she runs back and the second
person from her team repeats the process. The team with the most
balloons in wins! Try it at baby showers. It's real fun!
Bottoms up:
There are wonderful baby shower games free for co-ed showers as well.
Here's one of those special party activities. Get several baby bottles
and fill them equally with water, fruit juice or soft drinks. Have a
stopwatch handy. Ask the guys to compete to drink from the bottle in
the least possible time! Announce a special prize - something that'll
appeal to the men - for the fastest drinker!
New use for string:
Some
baby shower games free are quite 'crooked' party ideas - because they
veer off in an unexpected direction. Ask the guests to cut a length of
string. They'll all think it is to measure mommy-to-be's waist. When
they're done, tell them to slowly wrap the string around their little
finger, while talking about themselves and how they know mom-to-be!
They can give her advice, tell jokes or whatever!
Sage advice:
Want more baby shower games free? Here's another of fun party
activities. Ask each guest to write down one baby related question on
one side of a 3" X 5" card. For example, "What's to be done when baby
starts crying at 3:00 am?" Take back the cards, shuffle them well. Hand
out the cards at random to the guests. Ask them to write down the
answers to their original questions on the reverse of the cards! Now
read out the questions and answers on each card - it's a great laughter
generator!
