1. assign baby photos

Collect baby photos of the guests in advance and lay them out at the party. Everyone has to match the photos to the right people. The person with the most correct matches wins.

2. baby bottle pong

Set up empty baby bottles and give the guests small balls. The aim of the game is to throw the balls into the necks of the bottles. Whoever hits the most balls wins.

3. diaper challenge

Organize a competition in which the guests have to swaddle a doll as quickly and correctly as possible. Use a stopwatch to measure the time. This game makes for a lot of laughter and is good exercise for the parents-to-be.

4. creative design: Paint bibs or bodysuits

Start the baby shower with a creative game in which the guests paint white bibs or bodysuits. Use fabric crayons and give the guests time to complete their designs. The mom-to-be chooses the most beautiful design at the end. These personalized baby bodysuits and bibs are not only a wonderful keepsake, but also a great baby shower gift.

5. recognize nursery rhymes

Divide the guests into two teams and play well-known nursery rhymes. The teams have to recognize the songs as quickly as possible and sing the words. Points are awarded for guessing and singing along. The team with the most points wins.

6. burst the "amniotic sac"

Balloons are placed under the guests' clothes. They have to burst the balloons without using their hands. This makes for lots of fun and laughter.

7. design a souvenir album

Design an album in which each guest decorates a page. Photos of the guests, decorations and wishes for the baby make this album a precious memory for the mum-to-be and the baby.

8. bottle drinking competition

Fill baby bottles with milk and let the guests compete against each other in teams of two. Whoever empties the bottle the fastest wins. This game is more fun and more difficult than it sounds.

9. guess baby names

Have the guests write down suggestions for the baby's name. The parents-to-be can then rate the names or guess who suggested which name. This creates a lot of conversation and can help the parents find a name.

10. estimate belly circumference

A fun game in which the guests have to estimate the circumference of the expectant mother's belly. Instead of a measuring tape, you can use a ribbon. Everyone cuts off a piece that should correspond to the belly circumference. At the end, the measurement is taken and the guest who is closest wins.

11. baby food tasting

Get different types of baby food and remove the labels. The guests have to taste and guess which flavor it is. Whoever guesses the most flavors correctly wins.

12. baby bets

Have the guests make predictions about the baby, e.g. eye color, weight, height or hair color. Write down the predictions and compare them after the baby is born. The winner receives a small reward from the mom.

13th city-country-river for the baby shower

This version of the classic city-country-river game is adapted to the baby shower theme. Categories could be baby name, baby supplies, nursery rhyme or teething troubles. One guest says the alphabet in their head, another shouts "Stop!" and everyone fills in the categories with the named letter.

14. feel baby utensils

Ask the guests to bring small gifts for the baby, such as pacifiers or bath thermometers. These are packed in a bag. The expectant mother has to reach in blindfolded and guess what she feels. If she guesses correctly, she gets to keep the gift.

15. creative baby bump

Let the guests paint the expectant mother's baby bump with skin-friendly paints. Take a photo of the result as a lasting memory. Alternatively, a plaster cast of the belly can be made and painted later.
