I am throwing a shower for my sister-in-law, and she is having a boy. I don't want to play the same old games, and need some new ideas.

Cut several (number of people attending) strings of different lengths, cut one that is the exact circumference of the size of your sis-in-laws stomach...have everyone choose a string, the person who picked the one of the size of her stomach is the winner...fun watching everyone checking to see if their's is the right one.

Here are a few we played at my showers:
Toilet paper game: Everyone gets a roll of toilet paper and has to guess how big around your stomach is. The closest gets a prize.
Memory game: Get a small basket and put random baby items in it (i.e. clothes pin, pacifier, baby booty, baby nil clippers...) , everyone gets to look at the items for about 15 seconds, and has to write down all they can remember. The person with the most items wins a prize.
Clothes pin game: Have a couple key words (baby, boy/girl, your name, dad's name) . Everyone gets 4 clothes pins to begin with-and you clip them to your clothes. Each time somebody catches somebody else saying one of those words, they get to take that person's clothespin. The person with the most clothespins at the end of the shower wins a prize.
Dirty Diaper: Get about 10 diapers, and 10 different candy bars. Melt each candy bar into a different diaper. The guest have to guess what candy bar is which by looking and smelling each diaper. Gross-but fun.
You can also do things like a word scramble or a word search that you make up yourself, and have prizes for the winner.
Prize ideas: stationary, candles, make up, chocolates, bath stuff.
Good Luck! You'll have a blast!

I like a game where you place baby items on a tray and show it for a specified amount of time, to make sure everyone gets a good look at it. Then you cover the tray or put it away. Everyone has to write down as many items as they remember. The highest # is the winner. I also like the guessing the baby food in the jar. You buy different jars of baby foods and tear off the labels. Everyone has to guess by looking at the jar. Maybe for a twist people could do a taste test to guess? I never played the dirty diaper game, but it sounds like fun.

A really fun and kinda gross game is the candy bar diaper game. I'm not sure if you've ever played this one before, but you get a couple of different candy bars and diapers. You melt the candy bars one at a time and place one in each diaper that you have. We usually only do six. Once these dry they look like baby poop. Then you have everyone guess which candy bar is in which diaper. We label them with numbers so we know which one is which. It definitely gets people to laugh and have a good time. Our only rule is no tasting!

Well you could play some games like what my sister did was her baby girl's name is ambria and what they had to do was one person would go ambria then the next would go jade then the next would go julie then the next would go janet then the next would go jacklin then on and on and when one person messes up they are out.another game is while they would open presents you couldn't say cute or adorable and the person who said one of those is out.also we played this pin game and if you crossed your feet your pin would get taken away and at the end of the game the person with the most pins winsYou can use the games with boy and girl names

I built a page on my website that is dedicated to SENTIMENTAL and different shower games....I think you might like it. It's nice to have new things to do at the shower....things that actually celebrate the baby and the new family! Check it out, if you like! I put the link below!

It seems reading through other answers the basics have been mentioned. One of my favorites is pin the pacifier on the baby, Go to your local copy shop , bring a picture of a baby and have it blown up to a large size 24" x 36" . The copy a picture of a pacifier (you can fit alot on a sheet) attach tape to the back of each one and have guest write their nams on theirs. The it's the basic pin the tail on the donkey rules.

I was just at a shower where we played the dirty diaper game.You melt different kinds of chocolate bars inside the diapers and people have to try guess what they are,by looking,smelling whatever!!It's was quiet humorous,watching the older ladies sticking the diapers up to their noses!!

It's a little expensive, but its really fun to get everyone a plain white onesie and put fabric markers/paint on each table and ask everyone to decorate a onesie for the baby. It's so nice to have personalized onesies. The cheapest ones I found were $9.99 for; 5 at babysrus.com.
have fun!
