While every baby shower does not have games, they are a great ice-breaker and lots of fun. It is especially good to play games if the guests do not know each other well. Typically, you play 2-4 games at a baby shower, depending on how much time it takes. The winner of the game is usually given a small gift from the hostess as a prize. Whoever is closer wins the prize.
Supplies Remember to have enough pens and papers for all the guests.
It is also helpful if you have hard surfaces available for the guests to write on. A magazine would work well. Pens that don't work are common and tend to slow down the party, so test out pens before they are needed. If you buy new pens, roll them around a bit until the ink begins to flow. Prize Ideas Prizes for games are not usually elaborate, but are instead fun things that the guests can use.
