Rice bowl
A wildly popular baby shower sport is the rice and safety pin game. Fill a bowl 3/4 of the way full with dry rice. Add a packet of tiny gold safety pins and mix them in well. One at a time, blindfold each guest and give them the chance to remove as many safety pins as possible in one minute. This sounds easier than it is! The pins and rice feel very similar and many of those participating will likely end up with a small pile of rice. Needless to say, the guest who finds the most pins wins the game. Make sure to mix any removed pins back in before the next guest's turn so that everyone gets an equal chance.

Cottonbowl
Here is another game which sounds easier than it is! For this game you need two bowls, a serving spoon and a bag of cotton balls. Place all of the cotton balls in one of the bowls. One at a time, blindfold each guest and ask them to try to transfer as many cotton balls as they can from one bowl to the other. Because the cotton balls weigh so little and make no sound, it is almost impossible to tell whether you have one on the spoon or not! Again, many of your guests will transfer nothing more than air to the second bowl, but the one who manages to get the most cotton balls into the second bowl wins the game.
