Baby Shower Game Idea: Guess That Baby Drawing

If you are looking for a fun and interactive baby shower game idea, Guess That Baby Drawing will have your guests active and engaged with each other. A baby shower game like this will likely work best with a group that already knows each other at least somewhat.

How to play:
Before the party, come up with a list of baby related activities or items and put them on index cards. They should be at least somewhat difficult items or activities to draw and not too common baby items. You can even divide the cards into categories of baby-related activities, baby items, baby book titles or nursery rhyme titles.

Divide the guests into teams. There should be at least 5 players on each team. Each team should pick who will draw first. The player who will draw for the first team will draw one of the index cards. Give the first team one minute to guess what the person is drawing. Use this same procedure with each team until everyone has had a chance to draw. Keep track of which team had the highest number of correct answers. Be sure to make several extra cards with difficult things to draw in case you need to do a tie-breaker between teams to get a winning team.

What you will need:

• Easel with large pieces of paper
• Markers
• Timer
• Index cards with baby-related activities or items on them

Baby Shower Game Ideas: Planning

There are several factors to consider when planning baby shower game ideas. Use your judgment to make sure that you create an enjoyable experience for all of your guests.

Length of the Baby Shower Game
There is a limited amount of time at a baby shower to get everything done. If you are renting a space or having it at a restaurant, this is especially true since they will typically charge you by the hour for the room space. You need to plan time for guests to mingle, food, and gift opening in addition to any games you plan. If you know that you are going to be short on time, opt for a game that can be played throughout the shower like baby word scrambles or one that can be done during the gift giving like baby gift bingo.

The Guest List
If many of the guests on the list do not know each other, stay away from games that could be considered embarrassing or that make people interact heavily with people they don’t know. If you have a group of good friends that know each other well, you have a wider selection of games to choose from. Know who is on your guest list before you plan baby shower game ideas and make it a point to understand how well everyone on the guest list knows each other.
