Tray Memory Game With A Twist!

We have played this game at baby showers for as long as I can remember at least 30 something years. You may have played the "regular" version of this game, but we add a twist. Ahead of time assemble a number of small baby items on a tray. Maybe 20 or so. Could be a baby bottle, diaper pin, pacifier, cotton swab, teething ring, baby powder etc.  Have someone (possibly a person that the guests don't know really well) carry the tray around the room, let each guest take a good look at the tray.  The person now leaves the room with the tray. After they leave you proceed to ask the guests questions about the person that was displaying the tray. The guests are so intent on looking at the tray they don't notice the person much. Ask what color hair they have, earrings or no earrings, nail polish color, dress color, shoe color etc etc. The guest that gets the most correct answers wins. After this you can proceed to ask the guests to write down what was on the tray, by now they can't remember much! Award a second prize to the person that remembers the most items.

THE PRESENT TIMER

This game requires actually no participation from the guests. As the guest of honor is opening her gifts you set a kitchen timer for different intervals.  Say you set it first for 5 minutes. When timer rings, the prize goes to whoever brought the gift the mother to be is opening. This game can be repeated several times over as she opens gifts. Simply reset the timer for another few minutes each time.

THE BOWL OF RICE

Name may sound more like a wedding shower game, but this is a fun one too. Fill a rather good sized bowl with dry rice. Mix in with the rice a package of those tiny gold safety pins. Blindfold each guest & give them one minute to dig through the bowl & search for safety pins. The guest with the most pins WINS. It's actually not that easy to find them!

BABY SHOWER SCRATCH OFFS

Many sellers on EBAY sell baby shower scratch off game pieces. These are played similar to a lottery ticket. The guest that reveals the matching picture wins. These are most often personalized for the shower & you can ask the seller to put in as many "winning" pieces as you'd like. A seller that is on my favorites list is allmyloveallmylifeinc has a variety of scratch offs for different occassions.

GUESS HOW BIG MOMMY IS!

Traditional game that has been played for years. Pass a roll of string or ribbon around the room. Ask each guest to cut off a piece that they believe is as large as Mommy's expanding tummy. Guest that come closest to correct size of Mommy's tummy is the winner.

THANK YOU NOTES

This one is very helpful for the mom to be! Before the shower the hostess buys the appropriate number of  thank you notecards. Pass the envelopes out to the guests & have them write their name & address on them. Draw one as a "winner". Give the thank you notes along with envelopes to the guest of honor. Now she is all ready to send thank yous for all the pretty baby gifts!
