Five Baby Shower Games for Garden Baby Showers

When organising a baby shower, the checklist seems endless! From décor to the guest list to the menu, every detail counts. And let’s not forget about the entertainment – baby shower games are a must for these joyous occasions and are the perfect way to celebrate the upcoming birth of a little one.

 

While traditional activities like ‘blind nappy changing’ and ‘gift bingo’ are always popular, there’s so many other games to choose from. Here’s some of our favourite baby shower games that are perfect to play in the garden which your guests are sure to go goo-goo-gaga for!

 

1. Melting Mystery Nappies

 

Turn nappy changing into a game of suspense! Before the party, fill several nappies with Party Ice and seal them shut. Arrange the frozen nappies on a table and let guests take turns choosing a nappy to thaw. As the ice melts, guests will uncover hidden surprises like baby-themed items or messages. The guest who reveals the most surprises wins a cool prize!

 

2. Pin the Dummy on the Baby

 

A fun spin on ‘Pin the Tail on the Donkey’, players are blindfolded and tasked with pinning a baby onto a poster or drawing of a baby, aiming to get it as close to the baby’s mouth as possible. The player who places the dummy closest to the correct spot wins a prize! It’s a great interactive game that adds a fun and competitive touch to any baby shower.

 

3. Chill Baby, Chill

 

Keep your cool in this refreshing twist on a classic game of “Hot Potato”! Sit guests in a circle and pass around cubes of Party Ice wrapped in a muslin cloth. Play some upbeat music and let the cube make its rounds. When the music stops, the guest holding the ice cube must perform a silly baby-related task, like singing a lullaby or mimicking a baby’s cry, or have ice cubes put down their back!

 

4. Scavenger Hunt

 

Hide small baby-themed items around the garden and provide guests with a list of items to find and let them explore the garden while searching for the hidden items – the person who finds the most items wins a fun prize!

 

5. Baby Bottle Bowling

 

Set up empty plastic bottles as bowling pins at one end of the garden. Use a soft ball as the bowling ball, and have guests take turns rolling the ball to knock down as many “bottles” as they can. Award prizes for the highest scores!

 

With these games, your garden baby shower is sure to be a memorable occasion. So, grab your suncream, gather your guests, and get ready to enjoy a day of fun in the sun!
