Once guests are settled, pass around a roll of ribbon and let each person take off as much or as little as they like. Later on the person has to tell how they know the guest of honor Its usually funny because people take a lot of ribbon thinking its the game where you try to guess the "width" of the expectant mother. Another game is where you place "baby" objects bottles, rattles We gave people about 15 seconds and then had them write down their guesses.
Who ever has the most wins. I've also seen the "taste test". You take jars of baby food and remove labels. Then guests try to figure out whats in the jar. And for my shower, my Mom had a game similar to "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" where you had to put the pacifier in the baby's mouth. Some of the results were hilarious. Find all posts by toocute.
I hope I'm correct. I think the cotton ball game is guessing how many cotton balls are in a jar. We played this one as well. Were I come from the cotton ball game is played by taking a bag of cotton balls, placing them on sheet and spreading them out. Then each player is blindfolded and they have about seconds to spoon up as many cottonballs into a bowl as they can. It is really fun because we usually hide them once the person is blindfolded or put them all on one side and cheer the person on like they have a whole lot of them in their bowl, when they really have about 2 or 3.
Some other fun games are: Rice and Safety Pins: Get the handy-dandy sheet and blindfold again A bowl, put white rice and those very small safety pins. When they are together, you can not tell them apart. Closest wins!! I have seen some mothers-to-be cry from the embarrassment!
ICE Breaker: Sometimes, most guests do not know everyone name in the room. So nametags are made up from cartoon characters and each guest wears them.

Then, set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes. Ask guests to see how many names for the new baby they can make using only the letters in the parents' names.

This not only lets your guests get creative, but it makes a cute keepsake for the mom-to-be and her little one. Before the baby shower, prepare a list of questions about the mom-to-be, with her help, of course.
Examples of questions:. At the baby shower, read the questions out loud or ask the mom-to-be to read them , and have the guests call out the answers. Designate one person to be in charge of noting who guesses correctly. Think of at least 10 famous parents from American history, pop culture, or a category of your choice. Then do some research, and write down the name of the eldest child of each parent this is your answer key.
Distribute a list of the parents' names to your guests. Ask everyone to write down the name of the eldest child next to the parent's name. See who can correctly name the greatest number of children.

Of course, the thicker the diaper layer the harder it is to guess. The guest with the greatest number of correct guesses wins. By the way, did you know that the parents-to-be can be turning their diaper purchases into rewards? After playing this game, let the mom-to-be know that she should download the Pampers Club app so she can start earning great rewards.
If she receives Pampers diapers as a baby shower gift, she can even add the codes found in the packs and be on her way to her first reward. Before your shower guests arrive, heat each candy bar in the microwave and smear the gooey mess onto a diaper, keeping track of which candy bar goes on which diaper.
After your guests arrive, have them do a "sniff" test of each diaper and guess which kind of candy is on each one, writing down their guesses on a sheet of paper. The winning "nose" is the one with the greatest number of correct guesses.
When you invite your guests to the baby shower, ask them to bring at least one package of diapers, letting them know that the more packs of diapers they bring, the more raffle tickets they will get to participate in the game! At the shower, give your guests one ticket for each pack they bring, and then do a raffle draw where guests are in for the chance to win some small prizes, and the lucky parents end up with the packs of diapers.
Fill a basket or tray with small baby-related objects before the shower. After the quick viewing, hide the basket in another room and distribute paper and pens. Ask everyone to write down all of the items they saw in the basket.

Before the next guest begins her turn, mix up the socks again. Fill a baby bathtub with water and put the ducks in it.
On the bottom of one duck, make a distinctive, special marking. Ask each guest to pick a duck, and the one who picks the special duck wins a door prize.
