How to Play the Baby Shower Clothes Pin Game
If you’re hosting a baby shower, one of the must-haves is games or activities for your guests to participate in. Having games to play is not only a traditional part of the celebration, but it serves as a way for the guests and the mother-to-be to really have fun. It’s a good idea to have a few games in mind to play.
The first game on our list of games is called Clothes Pin Game. This is a very easy game to play, and guests attending your baby shower will enjoy it because it continues throughout the party. The rules are simple. Below are the instructions on how to play the Clothespin Game:
Supplies:
Enough clothespins for each guest to have one
Prize for the winner
1.) The game starts when everyone has arrived.
* The hostess hands a clothespin to each guest.
* The rules are explained at the beginning of the shower, once everyone has arrived. (As a host, you can make them however you like! Use as many or as few as you like. Example rules are listed below.)
2.) Each guest in the shower must hook a clothespin on their clothing.
3.) If someone breaks the “rules” and is caught by another guest, the person who broke the rules must give their pin to the person who caught the rule breaker.
4.) The person at the end of the shower with the most pins (they must be pinned to their clothes) is the winner!
Example rules:
without crossing your legs
Don’t use the word baby
The prizes can be whatever you want. Candles are a common game prize, but they can be anything you want. You’re the hostess, so make it yours! A dollar store is a great place to shop for baby shower prizes.
This is a great game to play at baby showers, because it gets everyone involved. The laughter you are sure to get from her guests will make the mother-to-be remember her baby shower, and her hosting skills will certainly be envied.
Remember, it’s not about how much money you spend on the shower, it’s about the memories you help create and send the mom-to-be off to a good start in preparation for her new little bundle of joy.
Hopefully this game will help you plan the perfect shower for that special mom-to-be!
