Baby Shower Games for the Best Baby Shower

By Robin Elise Weiss, LCCE, About.com Guide

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!
