Celebrating the anticipated arrival of a couple’s first child is an important event that takes Baby shower games are almost a necessity for this very special occasion. You can find a lot of entertaining and fun activities that will keep your guests occupied throughout the event.

Many people who host these occasions may find that choice is a great thing. However, it can be pretty difficult deciding which baby shower games to choose and it may be a little tricky deciding how many activities to incorporate into the afternoon. There are a handful of ways to make the task a little easier.

Try choosing baby shower games that are timed. This is the ideal approach to keeping a tight schedule during the party. There are plenty of activities that have a definite beginning, middle and end. These baby shower games usually do require a timer to help them along.

For example, you could have the guests list as many songs that have the word “baby” in the title as they can. You want the activity to take about 10 minutes to complete from beginning to end. Consider the couple minutes it takes to give directions and pass out the pages when scheduling the baby shower games.

Bit of History

With his mother gaunt and lean
In the valley warm and green,
Full of baby wonderment,
Blinking out of silly eyes
At a hundred mysteries;

—Ralph Hodgson (c. 1871–1962)

The guests have about 3 to 5 minutes to come up with as many songs as they can. The time is at your discretion but I do lean more towards 3 minutes unless there are a large number of guests. Baby shower games usually take a little longer to complete when there are more people playing.

Some baby shower games can take more time no matter how many guests you have. Baby bingo is a great idea that requires nothing more than some pens, blotters or markers and papers with grids. Guests fill in the squares with presents that they believe the mom-to-be will receive.

As the gifts are opened, the guests mark off the items on their pages. The firs one to get a “bingo” wins a prize. This is one of the longer baby shower games to play but it is a fun activity that will keep everyone occupied. You can also opt to have more than one winner for this activity.

Speaking of winners, baby shower games should also have prizes. The winning guests can choose from grab bags or the attendants can hand out presents as the baby shower games end.
