The best baby games for baby showers to entertain all your guests and let the expectant mother benefit from the experience of others. Your shower will then become more than just a party. It is an entertaining learning experience.
One of the most educational baby games for baby showers for new moms is usually the most fun too. It’s called distraction. This is for two or three players at a time. The supplies you will need will be two to three dolls.
Because showers are usually done in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy. It’s probably more relaxing and fun for the expectant mom to just watch. This is because this is one of the most active baby games for baby showers.
Two or three volunteers (maybe one or two people who don’t have children yet?) Are the actors. They start by simply holding the wrists. The hostess tells them that their babies are crying. Each of them tries to comfort the baby.
This is where the distractions begin. Members of the “audience” (your other baby shower guests, including the guest of honor) begin shouting distractions one at a time. All acting mothers have to deal with every distraction, continuing to comfort their crying baby.
Since baby shower baby games are for the entertainment of baby shower guests, let them be as creative as possible. Possible distractions may include the dog needing to go outside. So maybe they waited too long to let the dog out and have to clean up a dog accident without dropping the crying baby.
Meanwhile, the UPS man comes to the door needing the moms to sign a package. The phone may also be ringing while something is burning on the stove. Get the picture?
It’s hilarious to see the way actor moms deal with all the distractions. These kinds of baby shower games are also good for the expectant mom to catch some advice from veteran moms.
She might have some ideas while enjoying a good laugh. Maybe when the time comes to deal with similar distractions. She will remember the baby shower games at your party and she will be able to smile.
Other great baby games with an educational twist for both mom-to-be and baby-to-be include birthday card or videotape tip activities. With birthday cards, each guest has an age. Then the guests write a special message for the baby. They write this message on a card that will be opened once the child reaches the specified age. Each guest should read their card aloud before sealing the envelope.
Videotape counseling requires a camcorder or digital video camera. However, if they are not available, it can also be done with a recorder. But that’s not so nice. The guests simply give the new mom’s every word of advice. The hostess can guide guests with advice.
Possible ideas for your baby shower games are “When you feel stressed, you should …” or describe what to expect with different ages. Not only are these activities fun baby games for baby shower guests, but they will be treasured memories for Mom to enjoy throughout the years.
Instead of just repeating the same old baby games, try to bring in some creativity to provide more entertainment for your baby shower guests. And always think about why they are all there: to celebrate the birth of a child and help prepare a new mother.
