Mother-to-be's Waist Game

Pass around a ball of string and a pair of scissors. Each party member cuts off a piece of string guessing the length to fit around the Mother's middle. Mom tries on each string. The person with the closest length wins a prize. Meanwhile, Mom gets to show off her proud tummy! Some showers use toilet paper instead of string, ribbon would work well, too. Another variation on this game is to use toilet paper instead of string and have each member guess the number of squares of paper it will take to go around the Mother's tummy!


Diaper Race Game

Time how long each person can diaper a baby doll without it falling off! Be sure the diaper is too large for the doll. The experienced Moms will stand out.


Guess the Number of Jelly Beans in the Baby Bottle Game

Fill a baby bottle with little jelly beans (or other small candy). Show the attendees the baby bottle and have them guess how many beans are in the baby bottle. How about picking the mom's favorite small candy to use to fill? At my baby shower, we had 6-8 volunteers. We sat them down and gave each of them a baby bottle half-full of pop. Whomever finished first won.
