The best baby games for baby showers to entertain all your guests and let the expectant mother benefit from the experience of others. Your shower will then become more than just a party. It is an entertaining learning experience.

One of the most educational baby shower games for new moms is also often the most fun. It’s called Distraction. This is for two or three players at a time. The supplies you will need will be two to three dolls.

Because douching is usually done in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy. It’s probably more relaxing and fun for the mom-to-be to just watch. This is because this is one of the most active baby games for baby showers.

Two or three volunteers (perhaps one or two people who don’t have children yet?) are the actors. They start by simply holding the wrists. The hostess tells them that her babies are crying. Each tries to comfort the baby.

This is where the distractions start. Members of the “audience” (your other baby shower guests, including the guest of honor) start yelling distractions one at a time. All acting moms have to deal with every distraction, while still comforting their crying baby.

Since baby shower games are for the entertainment of the guests, let them be as creative as possible. Possible distractions may include the dog needing to go outside. So maybe they waited too long to let the dog out and have to clean up a dog accident without dropping the crying baby.

Meanwhile, the UPS man comes to the door and needs the mommies to sign for a package. The phone can also be ringing while something is burning on the stove. Get the image?

It’s hilarious to see how actress moms deal with all the distractions. These types of baby shower games are also good for moms-to-be to learn some tips from veteran moms.

She might get some ideas while enjoying a good laugh. Perhaps when the time comes for her to actually deal with similar distractions. She’ll remember the baby shower games at her party and she’ll be able to smile.

Other great baby games with an educational twist for both mom-to-be and baby-to-be include birthday cards or video advice activities. With birthday cards, each guest has an age, it’s a good idea to start with 10 years or so. The guests then write a special message for the baby. They write this message on a card that will be opened once the child reaches the specified age. Each guest must read their card out loud before sealing the envelope.

Videotape counseling requires a camcorder or digital video camera. However, if they are not available, it can also be done with a tape recorder. But that’s not so nice. The guests are simply giving the new mom advice. The hostess can guide the guests in terms of tips.

Possible ideas for your baby shower games are “When you’re feeling stressed, you should…” or describe what to expect at different ages. These activities are not only fun baby games for your baby shower guests, they will be treasured keepsakes for mom to enjoy for years to come.

Instead of just repeating the same old baby games, try bringing a little creativity to provide more entertainment for your baby shower guests. And always think about why you are all there: to celebrate the birth of a child and help prepare a new mother.
