Baby shower games make a mom-to-be's special day more fun, and they create lots of laughs and warm memories as well. There are a number of games that are traditionally played at baby showers, and they are called baby bottles, looking to match baby pictures with adults attending the shower, baby bingo, guessing how big the pregnant mom's belly is, and dirty diapers. Each of these different games will be discussed in detail below. On a starting note, drinking from baby bottles is a game that has been played and loved for years at baby showers. It is particularly a great choice when the shower is co-ed. Bottles with juice, milk, sodas, etc. In them are given to participants, and whoever drinks all of his or her beverage first gets a prize. This game is definitely one that breaks the ice and gets people talking to each other. It can lead to many hysterical moments. It is not a good idea to include any alcoholic beverages in the bottles as then the pregnant mom would be excluded from the game. Matching baby pictures with adults attending the get-together is another game popularly played at baby showers. The shower organizer would need to ask those attending to send her a baby picture in advance of the event. Then, at the party, guests can try to match the baby pictures with their peers attending the shower. Whoever gets the most correct matches wins a prize. Enjoying a game of baby bingo is very common at showers for expectant moms. This involves providing the shower attendees with bingo cards. A person will stand in front of the guests and call out the names of items that are baby necessities (like bottles, diapers, etc.) Those playing bingo need to circle the baby items appearing on their cards that are called out. The attendees who achieve a diagonal or straight line of circles will win a prize. There is almost always numerous winners of this game. Guessing the size of the pregnant mom's belly is also played quite often at baby showers. Guests will take string or toilet paper and wrap it around the mom's baby bump. They will compare the actual length of the string or paper to their estimated guess. Whoever is closest to the real figure wins. As unpleasant as it sounds, dirty diapers is actually another fun game to play at baby events. Real diapers are filled with popular chocolate bars. The guests have to figure out what kind of chocolate is in the diaper. If two or more people guess the right chocolate, they can all get prizes or they can then be asked to taste different baby foods and guess the flavors to break the tie. Other game ideas for showers can be found online, in parenting magazines, and through family and friends. Those organizing the event can make up their own fun games as well. The materials needed for these festivities can be located in abundance on the Internet and in craft shops. In concluding, baby showers have been made more fun and memory-filled through some popular games over the years. Some of them include drinking beverages from baby bottles, matching baby pictures to guests at the shower, playing baby bingo, guessing the size of the pregnant mom's belly, and guessing what kind of candy is in a "dirty" diaper. Other ideas can be found online or through magazines/loved ones. The Internet and craft shops are great places to look for game supplies.
