Bingo on a whole is becoming more and more popular, and baby shower bingo has caught on as a baby shower game craze.
Games go in and out of fashion, and the game of choice for the moment for baby shower games is baby shower bingo. It is a big hit at showers, and a way to get involved in the gift opening time period during the baby shower.
While bingo has been around for centuries, it has never been played like this before. It is a great interactive game that lets the guests be more involved, much like traditional bingo only with baby gifts. It is an extremely fun game to play anywhere, but playing this great game at a baby shower is even better.
Hosting A Baby Shower
If you are setting up the baby shower bingo game, you will need to prepare a few simple things: bingo cards, markers and bingo pieces to draw randomly.
You can make your own baby shower bingo game cards by preparing a five by five grid of squares, each with a baby related word or picture on it.
When you design your own baby shower bingo cards, you can experiment with different paper colors, fonts, and images to get the right bingo card for your baby shower theme and color scheme. You will need to make enough cards for every guest that will be attending the baby shower for them to enjoy the Baby Shower Bingo.
You do not have to make your own bingo cards; you can purchase sets for playing baby shower bingo online or at most party stores. In addition, several web sites offer free printable baby shower bingo cards you can print on your own computer.
How To Play Gift Baby Shower Bingo
During the Baby Shower, hand each guest a bingo card and 15-20 game pieces.
Instruct the guests that as the expectant mother is opening her gifts, they place a Hershey’s Kiss or other game piece on their card if the gift is on one of the squares of their Baby Shower Bingo card. Every time that she opens one of the gifts the guests mark off that gift on their bingo card.
Bingo is achieved when a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line is complete across the game board. The first guest to get five in a row wins the game of baby shower bingo.
Another variation for Baby Shower Bingo can begin with blank cards given to each guest as they arrive. Have each participant fill in the blank squares with items they think the mother-to-be will receive.
Bingo games can be comprised of the mother’s family names, the kinds of gift’s she receives, or even baby names.
If you prepare properly ahead of time, baby shower bingo can be a great way to keep your guests entertained through the party and is a great way to give out prizes to your guests.
