Games for Baby Showers With Older Guests

There, We’ve all been there. You’re at a baby shower merrily playing the baby shower games when you notice Aunt Agnes pouting in the corner because she is too old and feels silly playing “pass the pacifier”. It can be difficult to find games for baby showers with older guests, but it isn’t impossible if you know where to look.

With some ingenuity and internet access, you can have even Aunt Agnes playing baby shower games and enjoying herself. There are sites online where one can find baby shower games that are free. There are also sites that specialize in inexpensive retail games that even the older baby shower guests will enjoy.

Babyshowercentral.com is one such web site. Beyond selling items that are sure to make your baby shower games ones everyone will remember, they have many ideas listed that are free. Maybe a game of “Guess the item”? In that one, you put different baby items in closed paper bags and let your guests guess what is in each bag by feeling it. Or maybe Aunt Agnes and the other older guests at your baby shower would enjoy “The Name Game”. In this brain teasing baby shower game, if the parents have pre-picked little juniors name you give each guest a sheet of paper with the babies name printed on top and whoever makes the most words from the name wins the game.

When hosting a baby shower with older guests, you need to make sure the prizes you give for each game are appropriate also. You can’t go wrong with scented candles or low cost bath items. Bottom line, with forethought your older guests can have fun at your baby shower too without feeling silly.
