Changing diapers has to be THE most dreaded task of caring for a baby. What better way then to get all your guests into the parenting mode than to play some diaper games? Be prepared for the childless guests to turn squeamish at the mention of diapers and baby poop. In fact the more poop details you can give the guests, the more they are likely to squirm. It is best not to play these games anywhere close to when you plan to serve the snacks.
Diaper Baby Shower Game #1: Diaper The Baby Boy
Draw a large baby boy on a paper and tape it to the wall. Tell everyone that the object of the game is to pin the diaper on the baby boy blindfolded. Everyone thinks this is a spin off on the ‘Pin the tale on the donkey’ game. However, this time round get the mother to be to go first. As soon as she is blindfolded, whip out a bunch of water guns and spray her with water. She’ll be shrieking for mercy before you know it but tell her with baby boys you have to be careful else you get sprayed!
Diaper Baby Shower Game #2: Poop It!
This one is really yucky but the expressions on your guests’ faces are going to be worth the trouble. Get as many diapers as you have guests. Stain each diaper with a yucky smelling food or any kind of goop that doesn’t smell so great. You can even pick the prank poop you get in stores. Give each guest a diaper and place a bowl of poop in the center. Tell them that have to place as much poop in the diaper as they think a baby would do. Get ready with your camera. When guests undo the diaper to ‘place’ the poop and already discover something smelly they are going to react as though it’s real baby poop! The guests without a baby are the one’s to really watch out for.
Diaper Baby Shower Game #3: Speedy Diaper
Get a toy baby doll, some diapers and a blindfold. Once all your guests have arrived tell them that the baby needs his midnight diaper change but the lights are out. So you are going to have to diaper the baby in the dark! Let each guest have a go at diapering the baby blindfolded. The trick is to hand the guest the diaper upside down or inside out so they spend precious time figuring out which side is the right side up. Some of them might not even bother to do that and put on the diaper all wrong! It is great fun to see each guest fumbling in the dark with the baby and the diaper. Even the most proficient mothers find themselves stumped since this is a task they’ve rarely done blindfolded.
