baby shower games
My SIL is having a baby and MIL asked me if I knew of any good games
that we could play at the baby shower. The party is co-ed and is hosted at my
SIL's home. MIL isn't sure if we should have any games since it is
co-ed. If we do have a game (or two), she was thinking of doing
ice-breakers
that related to the baby somehow. Does anybody know of any good
ice-breakers that would be suitable for 20 people or so? MIL also asked
if I have ever been
to a party where the host put something on my back and I have to ask
people questions in order to figure out what it was. I have not, but
has anyone else have? Thanks for your ideas!
Re: baby shower games
I'm usually just a lurker here, but I thought you might like this game. I was just at a coed shower recently and they played a "name that tune" game where all of the song titles have "baby" in them somewhere. (i.e. "Baby Love" by the Supremes, "Baby, Baby, Baby" by TLC, "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix Alot, etc. Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head but you could probably google "songs with 'baby' in the title" and find some more. It was a really fun game, and it got everyone laughing and talking. The couple who got the most right answers won a bottle of wine, but you could also do a candle, a cheap cookbook, whatever.
Good luck!
I co-hosted a coed shower and we did two games:
1) Trivia game where we split into teams. Each team sent up one person per question. The questions were all such that the answer was a number and the person closest to it (without going over... think price is right) won that question. They were things like how many diapers will the average baby go through during their first year. We had small dry erase boards where people wrote their answer down and then flipped it over.
2) This one is a little more crazy, but worked for us because we were mostly young people and there wasn't much family (sis and BIL only). We did a relay that involved everything from hanging up clothes while talking on the phone to drinking beer out of a baby bottle to tasting baby food. One person from each team did a single leg of the relay. At the end was a word jumble that was a little more time consuming to make it more competitive. It was really fun but wouldn't work for every group.
