Baby Shower Games
Pregnancy can be a very happy time in a couple’s life. There are plans
to make to add a new person into the family. When a pregnancy is planned
and wanted the nine months is a time of preparation. I am fortunate that
my niece’s pregnancy has been waited for with longing and the reports
are that the baby is healthy.
My niece is also my god child. We have been very close through the
years. I told her that I wanted to plan a baby shower for her. I gave
her the choice of having the shower prior to the baby or after the baby
was delivered so that the baby could be part of the shower. She was
concerned that she would be nervous handling the baby in front of a
group of family members so she asked to have the shower prior to the
birth. She also requested that I would not have any baby shower games.
She said she thought they were stupid and she did not like to
participate in them.
I agree with her that baby shower games are stupid, but they are also a
tradition. When you talk to most women they agree that baby shower games
are not something that they enjoy playing. I wanted to come up with some
type of exercise that we could do as an ice breaker at the beginning of
the shower. I had invited her mother-in-law and sister-in-laws so not
everyone knew each other well.
My niece and her husband were having a difficult time coming up with
names for the baby. I thought I would use this as a theme for one of the
baby shower games. I put different animals on a sheet of paper and had
the participants name the male female and baby for that animal. For
example chicken, the answer would be rooster, hen and chick. At the
bottom of the page I asked each person to also write a boy’s name and a
girl’s name, to give my niece some additional ideas.
We had a fun time coming up with the animal names as well as discussing
different names. This lead into a discussion on how each of us felt
about our names. I was surprised the number of people that said they
would change their name if it was not such a hassle. After the shower my
niece agreed that not all baby shower games are stupid and that she
enjoyed the ones we played.
