Classic and a lot of fun especially if men will be attending the shower! Have your stations set up to allow someone to fold laundry, iron, flip a pancake, change a diaper, etc. As the guest goes up to began their duties, the others watching can shout out “distractions” like “the baby is crying,” “the phone is ringing,” etc.

These can also be used as name tags! Print off the mini diapers and place “poop” in one. Pin them on the guests as they arrive and who ever gets the poop wins or looses! It’s up to you!
Have you Ever
This is a cool game where you come up with a list of questions that all start with “Have you ever.” Then you give each guest a sheet of about 5 questions and have them go around the room and see if they can find someone who has actually done what the questions asks! Examples would be:
- “Have you ever lost your kid in the store?”
- “Have you ever pinched your child while buckling them into the seat belt?”
- “Have you ever replaced a deceased favorite pet?
Multitasking
Have the guest attempt to do multiple things at once under time restraints. For example, you could have the guests where a pillow, to resemble pregnancy, answer the phone, hang clothes on a homemade clothesline, and iron. See video below
