Pop Culture Baby Shower Games

Famous Parents

• Several famous actors and musicians are known to give their newborns creative names. Let your guests test their memory skills by remembering the parents' names when given the names of the children. Write the first names of celebrity babies on several slips of paper and place in a hat. Have each guest pick a baby name. She must say aloud who she thinks the parents are. If she is correct, she can pick another name from the hat. If she is incorrect, she is out of the game. Continue playing until there is only one guest left, and declare her the winner.

TV Kids

• Television sitcoms often feature a large family household. Let the guests attempt to correctly guess the names of the television sitcom children. Print 10 pictures of children from commonly known TV families such as the Bradys or the Huxtables and place them around the party room. Create a list with the TV family's name on one side and lined spaces on the other side for the children's names. Let the guests go around the room and write down the names of the TV children. The guest with the most correct names wins the game.

Baby Lyrics

• Many popular tunes have the word "baby" in the song lyrics. Let the guests pretend to be babies with a simple game. Pick a tune currently on a top song list that has the word "baby" mentioned in it several times. Fill baby bottles with milk or juice and give each guest a bottle, then play the song. Explain to the guests that every time they hear the word "baby" in the song they must sip from the bottles. Take pictures of the guests sipping on the bottles as a humorous keepsake.

Pregnant Belly

• Transform the classic pin the tail on the donkey game into a celebrity version for your guests. Print a large picture of a female celebrity mother along with a picture of her newborn baby. Make several copies of the newborn and put tape on the back. Tape the celebrity mom picture on a wall. Each guest gets a turn being blindfolded, spinning around and making her best attempt to place the newborn on his mother's belly. The guest who is able to place the newborn the closest to the mother's belly is the winner.
