For those all you need is someplace to print or make copies and some pens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784444 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:48:51 +0000 delight 784444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: haha that is hilarious </p> <p>One game I remember from the shower is: host walks around with a tray with 25 random items on it. You can have baby ones like rubber ducky, q-tips, thermometer... Etc. Everyone sits in a circle, and host walks around so everyone can see for about a minute. Then she puts the tray away and everyone writes down the items they remember. Whoever gets the most, wins! I love games like this though because imam super competitive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784441 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:46:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 784441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite cheap go to game is "never have I ever" baby-shower style ;)</p> <p>I bought a little piggy bank and a few rolls of coins. During the shower I asked people to gather loose change if they were comfortable with it (that's why I also provided some money) and we went around the room stating our "I have never.." </p> <p>So for example someone said, "I have never been to Hawaii." Then everyone who had been to Hawaii would have to place a coin in the piggy bank.</p> <p>It was a fun way to start a little fund for baby, break the ice and get everyone interacting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784430 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:43:00 +0000 tlcbaby 784430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I scrolled through these pretty fast so hopefully someone else didn't already say this.<br /> At my sister's shower and again at my shower a few weeks ago we played a game where the mom leaves the room and everyone makes a baby out of play doh. When everyone is done she comes back in the room and picks the best baby. Everyone thought it was pretty funny.</p> <p>Here is a pic. from my shower...</p> <p>P.S. - I don't know why one of them looks like a star fish!</p> <p>[attach=1980/13/mmvbfp.600x450.photo-4.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784341 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:57:42 +0000 birdofafeather 784341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: love that game! i guessed all the names right at my own shower. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784318 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:49:39 +0000 Smurfette 784318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a game for a friend that you had to guess the name of the celebrity based on the kids names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784307 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:37:46 +0000 Trailmix 784307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We played 'Guess the Pregnant Celebrity' at my shower (my friend printed out pics of pregnant celebs and then blocked out their faces). Was free and super-fun (if you're at all into celebrity stuff)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784264 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:20:16 +0000 MrsStormy 784264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: I'm really not into shower games, but this is my fave for sure, I actually enjoy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784248 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:13:01 +0000 MrsKoala 784248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yes, exactly! It's a win-win for everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784196 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:49:15 +0000 Boheme 784196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We played a game at one of my showers where you put a paper plate on top of your head and draw a baby on it without looking. The mom-to-be chooses whose baby drawing was the best. This game was hilarious at my shower! One of the baby drawings was so funny I kept it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784195 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:47:59 +0000 Boheme 784195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: agree. They had that game at my first shower and I cried my eyes out afterward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784180 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:31:57 +0000 MamaJ 784180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think dollar tree sells booklets of baby shower games. They are like finish the words to the lullaby and name all the kids from family tv shows. We did this at mine and I know the host got it from the dollar store. </p> <p>Price is right sounds fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784174 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:28:30 +0000 MsLipGloss 784174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to add that size guessing games are usually not a good idea. So many pg ladies are self-conscious about their size/bodies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784122 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:04:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 784122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: I never saw that before but that's smart. And the mom gets to keep everything at the end! </p> <p>I hate the diaper game! Enough time for nasty stuff in diapers after baby gets here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784080 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:42:56 +0000 Ra 784080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: LOVE the diaper game! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784077 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:40:06 +0000 kjpugs 784077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of the best (if not THE best) game I did for my SIL's shower was Mad Libs. I just googled and found one and printed it off, and when we gathered to open gifts I had people shout out adjectives, etc, to kind of break the ice. Then I read it and it was hilarious! It got everyone in a good mood.</p> <p>If you want a GAME game, we did one where you had to put a balloon under your shirt, a penny between your knees, and wobble across a room to a cup where you have to drop the penny into the cup. You can do 1 vs the other, brackets, or if you have the room/outside you can do everyone at once. We did brackets for those who wanted to do it (maybe 8? 10? It was quick and cute.) The winner got a prize. Only supplies were balloons, cups, and pennies! Pint glasses work well and are stable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784069 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:36:39 +0000 beachbee 784069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make a list of items and ask all guests to look through their purse for the items. The list could contain everyday purse items (comb, lip balm, keys, etc) and random items (shells, rocks, tape measure, shot gun shells, really anything you can think of). Person with the most items wins! You could even assign 1 point to your everyday items and 2 points to the random items to make it a little more interesting. Very easy/inexpensive game but always fun to see who has what! I've played a few times and its always been a crowd pleaser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784051 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:27:53 +0000 PBandBaseball 784051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the Price is Right game. I've played it at a shower before and it was fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784048 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:26:40 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 784048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: Loove this idea! Super easy, almost no setup required for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784035 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:21:42 +0000 MrsKoala 784035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I played the Price is Right once and it was really fun. You just purchase low level baby supplies like pacifiers and toys and then give everyone paper to guess the price of each item. The person closest to the total in the end wins a prize. It was very fun and no one had to be called out. Plus, you can probably get all of the items at WalMart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784029 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:18:39 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 784029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about the diaper game where you melt different chocolates in diapers and have guests guess what choc it is? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-784027 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:18:19 +0000 fancyfunction 784027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bingo is really easy - you can print bingo cards online and have each guest fill in items they think she'll receive as gifts. You can also get a spool of ribbon and have each guest guess how big her stomach is by cutting that amount of ribbon. Closest guess gets a prize. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-783994 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:01:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 783994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about the game where you don't say baby or certain words and if you do you a clothes pin gets confiscated? The lazy worth the most pins at the end wins. </p> <p>Guess the mothers girth using toilet paper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-favorite-shower-game-that-is-easy-to-set-upcheap#post-783977 Wed, 15 May 2013 16:48:05 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 783977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need your help! I have a shower I'm helping to plan and it is on Saturday. I have two games planned and need a third. I can't shop online for it, and since I live in a rural area my shopping options are limited to:</p> <p>grocery store<br /> walmart<br /> party city<br /> dollar tree<br /> TJ Maxx<br /> Ross<br /> Michael's</p> <p>Notice there's no Hobby Lobby or Target on the list....! Bummer.</p> <p>What sort of game can I do that I can easily and inexpensively put together? I am doing a baby photo caption game and a weight/birth date pool also, but want one more. </p> <p>The crowd will be all women, in equal number as young as late twenties, some as old as seventies. None will want to be "called out" </p>
