A Simple Baby Shower Activity: Drawing a Baby on a Plate

A low-cost and entertaining baby shower game involves guests drawing a baby on a paper plate placed on their head, without looking, and the mom-to-be selects the best one. It's an easy way to get some laughs, and additional silly categories can keep the fun going.

Simple baby shower games add to the joy of the party.

Baby shower activities are meant to celebrate the upcoming arrival and have a good time with the guest of honor. You don't need costly or elaborate games; often, the easiest ones work best. One humorous and budget-friendly option that usually gets people laughing is having guests try to draw a baby while blind to what they're creating.

Step 1

Hand out one paper plate and a pen to every guest.

Step 2

On the host's signal, each person places the plate on top of her head and then tries to draw a baby. They might attempt just the face or the whole infant. Looking is not permitted!

Step 3

Once finished, players take the plate off and put their names on the back.

Step 4

Collect all the plates and hand them to the mom-to-be. She then chooses the finest baby drawing and reveals the winner.
