Candies in a Jar One of the easiest and most engaging baby shower games that gets everyone participating right away is the classic “Candies in a Jar.” It’s quick to set up, requires minimal materials, and is always a hit with guests of all ages.
To play, simply fill an empty jar with candies. The objective is for each guest to guess how many candies are inside the jar, with the person whose guess is closest to the actual number winning the entire jar of candies as a prize. It’s a great way to add some lighthearted competition to the baby shower.
To make the game even more interesting, consider using candies of different sizes and shapes to throw off the more experienced guessers. Some clever guests might try to count the candies in one visible layer and multiply it by the jar’s height, but you can add a twist by taping the sides or bottom of the jar to make it harder to calculate.
Feel free to customize the rules to suit your baby shower! You can set limits on how many guesses each person gets or add extra prizes for second and third place. It’s a simple, fun activity that brings everyone together for a moment of laughter and friendly competition.
