Mix 'em up and then glue the features onto the baby-shaped cutouts. This fun baby shower game probably won't qualify as an event in the summer Olympic games, but it makes for a great time at an outdoor party, says Sharron Wood, author of Baby Shower Games.

How to do it: Map out an area of land. Use one stick to mark off the starting line, and another stick to mark off the finish line. Within that area, set up a few obstacles with the lawn chairs, logs, or other materials. Each guest will go behind the starting line, holding a baby doll and standing next to a stroller. When the mom-to-be says "Go! A one-second penalty is added each time the stroller or guest hits an obstacle, and a guest is disqualified if the baby falls out of the stroller oops!

The person with the speediest time wins. Give her a pedometer or reusable water bottle to celebrate her physical prowess. A new mama always has questions—but let's hope she'll find better answers than the ones in this hilarious party activity, suggested by Friedland.

Here's another version with a baby panda and elephant, a challenging Baby Animal Game from HGTV, and one with a version with a monkey and an elephant.

Here's a fun nursery rhyme game with classic images from PartyGamesNow. Before beginning the game, ask the mom-to-be to reveal her anticipated due date. Remind everyone that only 5 percent of babies are born exactly on their due date!

Then, ask each guest to predict the day and the time the baby will be born, and write their prediction on the paper or calendar. You can promise to give a prize to each person who picks the correct day and also to the person who most closely picks the time.

Don't forget to send those prizes out after the baby is born. Before your guests arrive, write or print the names of some famous mothers onto name tags for each guest. You could choose a category like mothers in fiction, mothers from current or classic TV shows or movies, or anything you wish. When your guests arrive, attach a name tag to the back of each guest, without letting the guest see the name. Before the party, put a baby item into each bag, and number the bags.

At the party, hand out the sheets of paper and pens to the guests, then start passing the bags out one by one. The guest must take a guess what they think is in each bag without opening it, and write it down; however, shaking and feeling the bag is allowed. After the guesses have been scribbled on the paper, ask the mom-to-be to do the great reveal; the guest with the most correct guesses is the winner.

Arrange the pictures of the mom-to-be on a board or a table, and place a number next to each picture. Ask the guests to write the numbers in the order of age, and see who gets the most correct. Ask each guest to decorate an outfit for the new baby. If you like, have the mom-to-be relax in another room during the decorating time.

When everyone is finished, spread the finished products out on a table and ask the mom-to-be to guess which guest decorated each one.

A baby blanket makes a great keepsake, so why not get friends and family involved in making one? Give each guest a square of fabric to decorate for the new baby. You can decorate the squares at the party, or send guests their square in advance, and ask them to bring their decorated square to the shower. If you decide to do the decorating beforehand, then at the party, you can ask the group to arrange the squares you'll need to have some extra squares, perhaps in a patterned fabric or contrasting plain color and make a quilt pattern.

After the party, you can assemble the quilt yourself you'll need extra fabric, of course, for the quilt backing, and also batting — the "stuffing" for the quilt or send it to an expert quilter to put together. Remember this memento is intended for decoration only, and shouldn't be placed in the crib. Give each guest a diaper and a marker pen, and have her write a funny quote, joke, words of encouragement, or anything creative on the back of the diaper.

Then, give the box of personalized diapers to the parents-to-be for inspiration during a late-night diaper change! Put the supplies out on the table, and have some old newspaper handy to put under the paintings to make cleaning up easier. Encourage imaginations to run wild — they can produce drawings, inspirational quotes, or anything that they think would be great for the nursery. Choose between 10 and 20 common words associated with babies — stroller, cradle, spit-up, etc.

Then, make a list of these words with their letters all mixed up — teslorlr, edclra, utspip. Hand out copies of the scrambled word list to all the guests. Ask them to unscramble the letters and write down the real words as quickly as they can.

Set a timer for 5 minutes, and see who can unscramble the most words during that time. Write down the names of the expecting parents first and last names on a sheet of paper and distribute to each guest. Then, set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes.

Ask guests to see how many names for the new baby they can make using only the letters in the parents' names. Give each guest a block or more and ask her to decorate it with different letters of the alphabet.

Just make sure everyone does something different until you have a range from A to Z. This not only lets your guests get creative, but it makes a cute keepsake for the mom-to-be and her little one.

Before the baby shower, prepare a list of questions about the mom-to-be, with her help, of course. Examples of questions:. Create a personalised content profile. Measure ad performance.
