Baby Word Find

Baby word find is a common baby shower game. It is very similar to typical word search puzzle. What you do is make a list of baby themed words. 10 to 20 words will be sufficient. With your list, take a sheet of grid paper and place the words randomly throughout the grid. When you have finished placing your words into the grid, just fill in the blank spaces with random letters. The only thing that is left to do is make copies of the grid that you filled out and the list of baby themed words for the amount of guests you're expecting at the baby shower.

Baby Word Scramble

Another common baby shower game is the baby word scramble. It's a relatively simple game set up for your guests and it costs nothing at all to do. What you do is make a list of baby items or phrases and then scramble each word or phrase to make it unreadable. For example, the word pacifier can be scrambled into something that looks like "fipracie". Once you scramble each word or phrase just transfer these scrambled words on a sheet of paper and make copies for the amount guests you're expecting. When you play this game at the baby shower you give your guests 5 min. to unscramble as many words as they possibly can. The guest who unscrambles the most words wins.

Baby Bottle Count

The baby bottle count game is a very simple game to set up. If you do not have any bottles on hand you can find some inexpensive bottles at your local store. Four or five bottles should be enough, but you can still play the game with one or two bottles. To set the game up, you just fill each bottle with a different baby item or candy. Be sure to keep count of how many you put in each bottle. To play the game just pass around each bottle to each guest and each has to make a guess on how many items are in each bottle. The guest who makes the closest guess wins.
