A baby shower without games is the last thing you’d want on this special event. Since most of your guests would be friends and relatives, your games should be appealing to all ages. Some of the free printable baby shower games you can use include the baby shower bingo, baby word scramble, and baby shower purse game, just to name a few.
To give you an idea how some of these games work, in the baby shower bingo for example, each guest gets a card you’ve printed. Just like in any typical bingo, as the items gets called out the first guest to get a line correct or the designated pattern wins. In the baby word scramble, guests are given a list of scrambled words that pertain to babies and maternity, and the first one to unscramble all of the words in their list is declared the winner.
In the baby shower purse game, the baby shower guests are split into teams of 2 to 4. Each team is handed a game sheet of items that they need to present by rifling through their purses in 10 minutes. Common items such as credit card, pen, or driver’s license each get a point. Less common or rare items such as mace, gun, perfume, specific coins, USB flash drives, rocks etc. are designated more points. The total number of points for each team is then compared to know who comes up on top. The real fun here is in the part where the guests are surprised who owns what, because once the game is done the items found and its owner are read aloud. This is sure to cause a lot of laughs because it will be revealed to everyone who carries strange things in their purses.
Baby shower games have and will always remain a part of celebrating the arrival of a newborn or spending quality time with an expectant mother. In choosing free printable baby shower games, the most important thing to remember is to pick one that is in good taste and one that is sure to break the ice and keep the guests entertained so everyone can have a rousing good time.
