One that has always been a hit for our family is rice and safety pins in a bowl. You put some rice and pins in the bowl, and each person tries to see how many safety pins they can get out (without looking) for a set amount of time. Its alot of fun, and alot harder than it sounds.

When I saw the title I was thinking about "My Water Broke." You stole my idea!

Well there is one that you can do.. You blindfold the person and put a bowl full of cotton balls on their lap and then a person stands behind them with a bowl on their head and the person sitting has to use a wooden spoon to scoop the cotton up and into the bowl on their head. They can only use that one hand. Who ever has the most wins. Its hilarious when they think they have a bunch on their spoon and they really dont. Its also super fun to play outside if its a park babyshower.

Another one(and I can look up the paper for it if you need) is where you put a bunch of candy bars in a plastic bottle and place them as the center piece of each table. No one really thinks it a game. And then you hand them a paper with these common baby things on it and they have to used the candy bars to get the answer!

For Example:
Hospital Bills- 100 Grand
Babys laugh- Snickers
Twins-Twix
Triplets- 3 Musketeers
Baby Girl-Hershey

And so on.. I cant think of anymore right now because I just woke up butIll add more when I remember or looks for the page thing for you.

And then a memory game.
Take a bunch of baby stuff about 30ish items. They can be like a rattle safety pin, diaper, bottle, asprin, baby wipes, photo fame/album, bib etc. Then take like a big box or tray and put them all in there and show your guests for 1 whole minute. Believe me a minute is a long time. And then take it away and have them write down everything that they can remember. Again who ever gets the most wins!

You can do a word scramble

a favorite at my baby shower was: "draw the baby" for this one you use Paper plates and a crayon/pencil/pen and you place the plate on top of your head and without looking you have to draw a baby! The expecting mother can choose the "best baby"/winner!

Also the "never say Baby!" game... use a safety pin or necklace and pin or hang something baby related on it(we used those miniture pacifiers you can buy at most dollar /party stores) and give every guest one as they come in and tell them they cannot say the word BABY or someone(who ever catches them saying it) gets to take their pin/necklace away(or one of them if they have multiples)- the person with the most at the end of the game wins!

The baby food game: (Materials - infant food, pads of paper and pens). Take the labels off of the baby food jars and have the women at the baby shower guess the food (carrots, peas, sweet potato). Most fun to play up to 10 jars of different kinds of foods. If there is a tie, blindfold the women and have them taste one of the jars and guess the right flavor to win their prize.

If the mother to be is comfortable enough you can play- "guess mom's tummy size" (Materials- String or yarn and scissors) Have each woman pull the yarn to the size they believe would fit perfectly around the Mother-To-Be's center of her pregnant tummy. After everyone cuts their string, compare the results to the Mommy-To-Be's actual tummy. Give a prize to the woman who is the most close! This is a baby shower favorite.

I have a ton more also if your interested!! I've been to way to many showers int he last year!! LOL

I was just at a baby shower on super bowl sunday (who does that, really?) and they had the parents names ( Bob and Sue) written down the side of the page and the new mom write out a list of baby/toddler words that began with each letter (b=bottle, o=onsies, etc) The guests had to make a similar list, and the person with the most matches with the mom won.
