 Baby Shower Games For Girls
Easy Baby Shower Games for Girls and Boys
Even though baby showers are held to celebrate a new child, they are predominantly adult affairs. However, many
people are now hosting family baby showers, where even husbands and children are welcome to join in the fun. At a
family baby shower, it is important to keep all of the guests comfortable and entertained – including young
children. There are several fun and easy baby shower games for girls and boys of all ages that will ensure a
successful event and keep things running smoothly.
Baby Food Taste Test
Some traditional baby shower games for girls and boys seem to be made with children in mind rather than
adults, such as the baby food taste test game. In this game, the children are seated at a table and
blindfolded.
With several different flavors of baby food at the ready, have each child taste one flavor at a time, asking
them to guess which they think it is. Repeat with other flavors as desired, and the child with the highest number
of correct guesses at the end of the game wins a prize. For extra fun and challenge, play with parent and child
teams or parents against the children.
Baby Photo Game
Another traditional game that can easily be adapted for children is a baby photo guessing game. Each child
should be asked to bring one of their baby photos to the shower. Arrange the photos on a bulletin board, assigning
each one a number. Next, place each child's name with a letter on another board. Have the children take turns
trying to match the names with the photos. Small prizes can be awarded for correct guesses as desired. Tip: make
sure to instruct the children not to give away their secret!
Baby Animal Trivia Game
Most children – and parents, as well, may not know the terminology for some types of baby animals. Everyone
knows that a baby dog is called a puppy, or that a baby deer is called a fawn, but how many will know that a baby
shark is called a pup? Prepare flash cards ahead of time with these fun trivia facts and quiz the children in
rounds. Award small prizes as desired for the highest number of correct answers – perhaps a stuffed baby animal or
similar small gift related to the game. Allow the parents to join in on the fun too, if they choose.
Toys and Crafts
Sometimes children who are very young or have short attention spans just do not take much interest in
structured, competitive baby shower games. Fun and interactive baby shower games for girls and boys who are very
young can come in the form of a simple area set aside for them to play “parents” with baby dolls and a toy crib, or
draw to their hearts' content in a baby coloring book. The children will be kept entertained and occupied while the
rest of the guests are involved in games, and their parents will certainly be grateful.
Baby shower games for girls and boys do not have to be costly, either. Most games and activities can be printed
out at home, or created with a few simple craft supplies you may already have in your home. Ensure the success of
the party with a few fun and easy baby shower games for girls and boys of all ages.
