Tray Memory
Game:
Before
the game starts Put 15 to 20 small items associated with babies on a
tray. These should be items such as a bottle, pacifier, baby sock,
safety pin, baby's brush, baby oil etc. Give each of your guests a
piece of paper and a pencil to write down their answers. To start
the game bring the tray into the room and place it where all the
guests can see it but tell them not to touch, leave the tray in that
position for one minute and tell the guests to memorize the items
that are on the tray, then remove the tray from the room and give
the guests five minutes to write down on pieces of paper what all
the items were. The guest who gets the most items correct is the
winner.
The Cotton Ball

winner.
With
this game you will need two large bowls, one of which should be filled
with cotton balls plus a large kitchen spoon and a cloth to use as a
blindfold. Each guest in turn competes in this game. Blindfold the guest
and give one minute to transfer as many cotton balls from one bowl to
the other just using the kitchen spoon.Make a note of how many of the cotton balls each guest can transfer in exactly one minute. The guest who transfers the most cotton balls is the winner. Due to the fact that the spoon is quite heavy and the cotton balls are quite light it is very difficult for the guests to tell whilst blindfolded whether they have anything in the spoon, consequently they will spend most of their time transferring an empty spoon. This is very amusing for the other guests to watch.
The Rice and Diaper Pins Game:
Take
a large bowl and half fill it with dry rice, then take a pack of
small gold colored diaper pins and mix them in with the rice. Then
each guest in turn whilst blindfolded has to find as many diaper
pins as they can in one minute. Make a note of how many safety pins
each guest finds. The guest who can find the most diaper pins in one
minute is the winner. This is a harder game to achieve then you may
think as the safety pins feel very similar to the rice when
blindfolded. Be sure to replace all the pins in the bowl of rice
before each guest takes part.

In your invitation ask each guest to bring with them to the shower a picture of themselves as a baby. It may be a good idea to give the guests a reminder before the shower to bring the photo with them as without the photo they can't be involved in the game. Take the picture from each guest as they arrive and lightly pencil on the back a number, being careful not to damage the photo and make a list so you can tell later which photograph corresponds with each guest. To play the game itself give each guest a piece of paper and pencil, show all the guests a photograph and tell them the number then tell them to write down whose photograph they think it is. Then do the same with the next photograph. If there are a lot of baby shower guests it may be necessary to pass the photographs around as they may not be able to see the photograph clearly.
