Fun Baby Shower Game Ideas for Large Groups

Are you planning to throw a baby shower soon? Baby shower is a party that is arranged to honor the would be mommy and daddy and also to welcome the little baby. Once the date is fixed, you may be busy sending invitations to your guests and start making arrangements related to the decorations, food and even games to entertain the guests. Few months back, I had arranged for a baby shower party for my sister in law. The decoration ideas and games that we had arranged are still fresh in my mind.

So, let me share with you some unique ideas to organize baby shower games for large groups that can keep your guests engaged and busy. 

Everyone loves to play games, but not everyone loves those run of the mill baby shower games. 

Here are few interesting games that your guests will simply love: 

Baby products in the basket: Give each guest a pen and paper before you start this game. Prepare a basket containing different baby products. Now place the basket before the guests to have a look at the items for a minute and then remove it from there. Ask the guest to write down the names of the items on paper. The one who is able to write the maximum correct names wins the game. 

Diaper themed games: You can arrange your guests into teams and each team gets a doll and diapers. Each member of the team should remove the current diaper and put a new one on the doll and then pass it to the other member of the team. The team that completes first wins the game. 

Dirty diaper game: The host of this game should melt some chocolate in the diaper. Ask your guests to sit in a circle and then play music and ask them to pass the dirty diaper. When the music stops the guest holding the diaper is out of the game. The last person remaining is the winner. 

Balloon games: Make your guests form teams of four to five members and give each person a balloon. When the host blows the whistle to start, the first person from the team has to blow the balloon and stick it under their dress. After the first person, the second has to do the same, etc. Once all the members of the team have done it, they have to burst the balloon. The team that completes the task first wins the game. 

So, start preparing for the party games for large groups to keep your guests engaged and entertained!
