While traditional baby shower games are often geared towards children, there are many meaningful and enjoyable activities that can be tailored to an adult audience. Here are some ideas:
1. **Baby Wisdom**: Instead of playing guessing games with diapers or baby clothes, have guests share their wisdom and advice for the expecting parents-to-be. This can include tips on parenting, relationships, or even life in general.

9. **Baby Food Making**: Organize a baby food making activity where guests prepare and package healthy meals for the expecting parents-to-be to enjoy with their little one.
10. **Group Storytelling**: Gather the group and have each guest share a brief story related to motherhood, parenthood, or a memorable experience from their own childhood. This fosters connections and meaningful conversations among the adults.
Remember to keep things relaxed and enjoyable for all attendees. These activities will create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that celebrates the new addition while also acknowledging the adult guests' presence and experiences.
