Occasion: baby shower
How do we make it so the mother to be doesn't know she will have a surprise baby shower, and it will be for 2 mothers to
be, will one of the mothers fell bad if she doesn't get as good present as the other one?
The Game Girl says:
Depending upon the location, think of a good reason to get the honorees there where everyone is waiting. Why would someone get a good gift for one person and a not-so-good one for another? Don't get that at all.
LaCorsha asked:

Where can I find a list of FREE baby shower games?
The Game Girl says:
Try these:
How about this: Every 10 minutes or so, call out a question that relates
to members of the group, such as "Who's the oldest on here?" "Who
brought the biggest gift?" "Who said the last word?" "Who laughs the
loudest?" "Who's sitting next to the pregnant mother?" and so on. Award
a prize each time you call out a random question. Soon everyone will
have a prize - and they don't have to play a game to get one!
"Pass the Pacifier" is a lively game for your group! Divide players into
two teams and line them up. Give all the players a pencil or chopstick
to put in their mouths. Give the first players in line a pacifier, by
slipping it onto the pencil. On the word "Go!" teams must race to pass
the pacifier from person to person. The team that passes it to the last
player first, wins!
You might also play "Child Development." Write down some typical
childhood milestones on slips of paper, in the form of a question, such
as "When does baby say the first word?" "When does baby take the first
step?" "What baby food does baby eat first?" "When do you take baby to
the first check-up?" If you need ideas for questions, you can get them
from child development books. At game time, have players take turns
drawing the questions and giving their answers. If they're right, they
get a point or a prize.
Then play "Old Wives' Tales." Ask friends for some old wives' tales,
such as "If you eat strawberries, your baby will have a strawberry
mark," or "If you wear the baby high, it's going to be a girl." Write
them down on slips of paper, then mix in some true facts, such as "Baby
needs 4 hours of sucking time a day," Then have players take turns
reading them - and answering whether they are true or false.
Melissa asked:
Occasion: Baby Shower
What kind of gifts do you give the winners of
baby shower games?
The Game Girl says:
General gifts are best, such as a box of chocolates,
a party game book, a basket of bath items, some
stationery, a bottle of cologne, etc.
Elizabeth Tolman asked:
Occasion: Baby Shower
I am 16 and have been to few baby showers. Next
month I am going to host a baby shower for my
friend, who is also 16 and pregnant. She does not
have much money and is newly wed. I need some ideas
on games and anything else that has to do with baby
showers. Thank you.
The Game Girl says:
Ask the Party Girl for ideas for themes, etc. and
check out the Party411 Bookstores for several books
on baby shower games. I've got quite a few listed
below, so look them over and see if anything works
for you.
Megan asked:

I am hosting a family baby shower for my brother's wife. We will have all ages from
grandmother to kids. Our group hates shower games. I am looking for creative ideas for
awarding door prizes without playing games.
The Game Girl says:
How about this: Every 10 minutes or so, call out a question that relates to members of
the group, such as "Who's the oldest on here?" "Who brought the biggest
gift?" "Who said the last word?" "Who laughs the loudest?"
"Who's sitting next to the pregnant mother?" and so on. Award a prize each time
you call out a random question. Soon everyone will have a prize - and they don't have to
play a game to get one!

KIMM asked:

I need a Party Game for a Baby Shower and the guest of honor is read picky about
everything. Do you have any ideas so I have an assortment to pass through her.

them with her. We have a few in the Party411 Bookstore: THE BEST BABY SHOWER BOOK, THE
BEST COUPLE SHOWER PARTY GAME BOOK, THE BEST PARTY BOOK, PICK A PARTY, and GAMES PEOPLE

Carrie asked:
Occasion: Baby Shower
I'm throwing my sister a Winnie The Pooh shower and can't think of any games except for
Pacify the Baby, Belly Bulge, Baby food testing, and Guess Who. Have any other
suggestions?
The Game Girl says:
How about a Winnie The Pooh Trivia contest, in keeping with the theme? Everyone's read
the book, so test their knowledge of Piglet, Eyore and Christopher Robin with some
questions from the story. Award a stuff Winnie The Pooh to the winner - and the guest of
honor!
Judy asked:

Stacy asked:
Occasion: Co-ed Baby Shower
What 2 games would you recommend for a co-ed baby shower?
The Game Girl says:
I've listed a couple of fun games for Baby Showers under the Game Girl section that
could be played with both men and women. You might also play "Child
Development." Write down some typical childhood milestones on slips of paper, in the
form of a question, such as "When does baby say the first word?" "When does
baby take the first step?" "What baby food does baby eat first?" "When
do you take baby to the first check-up?" If you need ideas for questions, you can get
them from child development books. At game time, have players take turns drawing the
questions and giving their answers. If they're right, they get a point or a prize. Then
play "Old Wives' Tales." Ask friends for some old wives' tales, such as "If
you eat strawberries, your baby will have a strawberry mark," or "If you wear
the baby high, it's going to be a girl." Write them down on slips of paper, then mix
in some true facts, such as "Baby needs 4 hours of sucking time a day," Then
have players take turns reading them - and answering whether they are true or false.
