A wonderful grandmother shower activity is this baby predictions game. This serves as more of a fun activity and keepsake, rather than a game, but it is still very fun!

Each player will have a card they need to fill out with their baby predictions, such as their eye color, weight, and who they are most likely to look like between mom and dad! 

The grandmother guest of honor can have a very good time reading these predictions, as some of them are bound to be very funny! You could even announce the winner as the person who was closest to their predictions once the baby is born! 

Mommy Or Daddy Guess Who Game

As grandmother-to-be, you are already very close to the parents-to-be, so playing this game will be very entertaining. Each card has a list of questions, such as “Who will change more diapers?” and each player must tick either mom or dad.

You, of course, will know the answers (mother’s intuition!), and each tick that is correct is one point. The player who gets the most points wins! 

Did Baby Poopie?

Each player is given a card, and they need to scratch the silver circle. Those who find themselves staring at the poop emoji are winners, but they’ll need to yell “I got the poop!”. 

This is the perfect game for a grandmother shower and acts as a great icebreaker if some attendees don’t know each other too well. 

Don’t Say, Baby

Don’t say baby is a great game that can be played throughout the entire grandmother shower. When you are ready to begin, everyone is informed that they are not allowed to say the word “baby” and they are each given a pin. 

If someone does say the word “baby”, the person who catches them out keeps their pin. This goes on throughout the entire shower, and at the end, the person who has collected the most pins wins! 

Baby Bingo

This is a perfect game for young children, but also serves as a fun one for your grandmother shower! 

Each player is given a card, and instead of numbers, there are baby items on the card. The call-out cards will have different baby items on them, and if the items that are called out are the same as the items on the cards, then players will cross them out. 

The same rules apply to regular bingo, if you are able to cross out an entire line, then you yell “Bingo!” 

Who Is The Baby’s Daddy?

Don’t Drop The Baby (Egg Race) 

This game is in two, hilarious parts. First, you’ll need to decorate your eggs as babies. You can be as creative as you like, and make them look realistic, or ridiculous! 

Then, the next part of the game is a race. You’ll have to arrange yourself into 2 teams, and each team has two participants racing against each other. 

They can either hold the egg in a spoon with their hand and try not to drop it, or they can take it up a notch and hold it in their teeth. 

This game is perfect for any outdoor baby/grandmother showers, but can also be played indoors as long as there’s space to allow for spills – there are bound to be a few cracked eggs!

If you’re aware that some of your guests don’t know each other well, then this is another great ice-breaker activity.
