Baby showers are fun occasions with everyone getting together to celebrate the coming baby and having a few laughs. And, when you have a mix of family and friends who don't know each other, baby shower games are perfect to break the ice. Here is a look at some of the popular games that are being played today at baby showers everywhere. Pin the Sperm on the Egg - This game takes the traditional Pin the Tail on the Donkey and puts a modern day, fun twist to it. Instead of having to pin the tail on a donkey, your guests are going to be pinning sperm to an egg. The game is played the same as the original, so just blindfold your guests and see which one can get the sperm where it needs to go. If you look at baby pictures of your friends, would you be able to recognize them? A game of Who is This Baby? will give you a chance to see. Have all the guests bring in a baby picture and then tack or tape them to a board and have a number under each. Then have everyone try to guess just who is who in the baby pictures. If the mom-to-be is comfortable with how big she has gotten, a game of Guess Mommy's Tummy Size can be lots of fun. Have the mom-to-be stand up so everyone can see her proud belly. Then pass around a roll of ribbon or string and allow everyone to cut off a piece the size they think will go the whole way around the soon to be mommy's waist. The one closest gets the prize and everyone gets a lot of laughter. If you really want to challenge your guests, play a game called Don't Say Baby and see how hard that can be. Baby showers are all about talking about babies and all things baby. So having a room full of women not saying the word baby will be just about impossible. Every time someone says it, have her pin a large baby safety pin on her shirt. Last one unpinned is the winner and will probably be dying to say the word baby by that time. Baby food is a staple in the first year of a baby's life, besides milk of course. And, most people wonder just what baby food tastes like really. A game of Baby Food Taste Test is a perfect opportunity for the mom-to-be and everyone else to find out. Have a few jars of baby food ready, with their labels peeled off, but make sure you mark the jars in some way to determine what is what. Then give everyone a baby spoon and pass the jars around to taste. Then everyone has to mark down what they think they are eating, and of course, the winner will be the one with the best taste buds. A fun game for first time and veteran mothers is Baby Trivia. You can buy this game, which is similar to Trivial Pursuit, online or in stores. This is a sure way to stump those that believe they know it all when it comes to babies. The game has questions such as how many diapers does a baby use in a year and other outlandish things that may surprise everyone with the answers. This is a fun way for everyone to learn something they didn't know before. Making sure the new mommy's baby shower is absolutely perfect is easy if you play the right baby shower games. These are a great way to have an entertaining afternoon and allow everyone to share in the joy of what is ahead. You can use these popular games for your next shower or modify and create your own, either way everyone is sure to leave happy.
