My Water Broke Baby Shower Games

First time fathers probably live in fear of the moment when their pregnant wives are going to scream – “My water broke!” Some end up imaging the words and even having nightmares about it. Here are some great baby shower games that will take the fear out of the three little words and put some much needed humor into the situation.

My Water Broke Baby Shower Game #1: Ice Ice Baby!

Get some ice trays that are designed for larger ice cubes than the regular size. Also buy small plastic babies that would fit inside each ice cube slot. Place one plastic baby in each ice cube slot and then fill the tray with water. Make sure you have as many ice cube babies as you have guests and some extras as well. Put the ice trays in the freezer so you will have frozen ice cubed babies. At the beginning of the shower put one ice cube each in a cup of water and hand one to each guest. The guest who’s water breaks first and the baby is born wins the game! This is a game of pure chance so it works really well to break the ice – no pun intended.

My Water Broke Baby Shower Game #2: My Water Broke!

Buy some medium sized balloons and fill them with water. Pair up all your guests into teams. Give each team a water balloon ‘baby’ and tell them they have to pass the baby to each other. Make them stand 8-10 feet apart and have them toss the baby at each other. Of course if the baby falls they have to shout, “My water broke” and they are out of the game. The pair tossing the baby longest wins. Be prepared to have lots of water on the floor. This game is best played outdoors or some place that doesn’t mind a mess.

My Water Broke Baby Shower Game #3: Race To The Labor Room

Give each guest a water balloon and have her hold it between the knees. Make all the guests stand at a start line and race to the finish line with the water balloon between the knees. If the balloon falls and breaks the guest has to shout, “My water broke”, run back to the start line, grab another water balloon and start over. The guest who reaches the finish line first with the balloon intact wins. Again, be prepared for lots of water on the floor and this game is best played outdoors!
