Enjoyable Baby Shower Games for Dads-to-be

Men want to be a part of baby showers just as much as women do. Although they rarely show it, they are in touch with their emotions as well. They may be even more excited than other women. One of the many occasions, that make men cry, is the birth of their little one. They could not believe that they can create such wonderful creation. In that case, you should include men especially the new dad in the baby shower program. Letting them participate in the baby shower game is a great idea. Here are two funny baby shower games for dads-to-be that you can make use of to involve gentlemen in your party.

Pregnant for a Day Game

Isn’t it funny to think of a time when men are walking on the streets with big stomachs? Women would like to exchange places with men for a day to let them experience how difficult it is to carry a living baby inside you. To let guys know the difficulties of being pregnant, you can play Pregnant for a Day baby shower game during your baby shower. First you need to gather the materials needed in order to start the game.

A pack of medium balloons

A roll of yarn cut into about 20 inches per strand

A chair for every male contestant

Do not reveal the objective of the baby shower game readily. You can start by stating to the women present at the moment, “How many of us women wish to exchange places with men to be pregnant even for a day?” This statement will make men more curious on what is about to happen. Then, give every man in the room a balloon. Tie the strand of yarn around every man’s shoes like a shoestring for every man who does not wear shoes with shoe laces. Instead of making a bow, you can form a knot to maintain the strand of yarn around the shoe. Instruct those who have their shoes on to unknot their shoes.

Instruct every man to fill his balloon with air and tell them when to stop. The balloons should be filled with adequate air to fit beneath every contestant’s shirt. It must be comfortable for them to take a seat and strap their shoes avoiding the balloon to pop. Men who already have big bellies have to fill a smaller balloon than the others. Begin the baby shower game and whoever straps his shoes without bursting the balloon, or raising their feet above the floor is the winner. You will witness the different strategies of friends, husbands, uncles, cousins, brothers and boyfriends to accomplish this very difficult task. As you would expect, you will make the baby shower guests rolling on the floor laughing as they watch this hilarious occasion. At the end of the day, you can get men to experience being pregnant even for a day.

Baby Bottle Drinking Contest
This baby shower game is very enjoyable and easy. You will only need baby bottle filled with any drink. Soda is a common drink used for this baby shower game. You can also make use of milk to make the game more exciting or beer to get the dads to participate. Nothing is more inviting than a bottle of beer for men. The objective of the game is to find out who can finish the whole bottle first. You will be able to tell who sucks the best. This game is very funny to watch. It may seem easy, but it is very difficult to suck through a small opening.
