Belly Ring Toss
Introduction
Okay, this one’s exactly what it sounds like and somehow even funnier in real life. Belly Ring Toss is the perfect mix of light competition, goofy vibes, and zero skill required.
The basic idea: you’ve got a big ‘belly’ (usually a ball or balloon under someone’s shirt), and other guests take turns trying to toss rings onto it. It’s ridiculous. It’s chaotic. It always gets people laughing.
Whether you keep score or just do it for fun, it’s one of those games that people end up talking about long after the baby shower’s over.
What You’ll Need
- A large inflatable ball or balloon (this is your fake baby bump).
- A volunteer to wear the belly under a shirt someone fun and not afraid to be the center of attention.
- Lightweight rings plastic pool rings, glow stick loops, embroidery hoops... whatever’s safe and tossable.
- Tape or a floor marker to show where guests should stand when tossing.
- Optional: a prize for the best ring-tosser or a round of applause for the best belly-wearer.
How to Play
- Get your belly volunteer suited up slide the ball or balloon under their shirt and secure it so it doesn’t roll around too much. Trust us, it’s funnier if it wobbles a little.
- Have them stand or sit a few feet away (adjust based on space and how wild your guests are).
- One at a time, each guest gets a few rings and tries to toss them onto the belly. You can go one-by-one or have multiple rounds.
- Keep track of how many land, or just laugh and move on. If someone lands three in a row, they probably deserve a prize or a slow clap at least.
- Rotate in a new belly volunteer if you want, or just let your brave buddy soak in the spotlight the whole time.
Fun Variations
Team Toss: Pair up guests and let one be the belly while the other tosses. Then switch. Best score wins.
Real Belly Bonus: If the parent-to-be is cool with it, they can be the target (with something safe and soft, obviously).
Challenge Toss: Guests toss blindfolded, or spin around three times before tossing. Adds to the chaos.
Style Points: Give bonus points for flair dramatic tosses, trick shots, or creative belly names.
Photo Finish: Set up a backdrop behind the belly-wearer and snap action shots. Trust us, these will be frame-worthy.
Why Guests Love It
- It’s weird and unexpected which is what makes it fun.
- You don’t need to be athletic or competitive to enjoy it. Half the time, the misses are funnier than the hits.
- It gets people up, laughing, and cheering each other on without any pressure.
- There’s always someone who takes it *way* too seriously, and it’s amazing.
- It breaks the ice instantly, especially if the group doesn’t all know each other yet.
Conclusion
Belly Ring Toss is loud, silly, and maybe a little awkward which makes it perfect for a baby shower. It’s all in good fun and gives everyone a chance to let loose a bit.
You don’t need fancy supplies or a competitive crowd. Just a balloon belly, some rings, and people who are down to be ridiculous for a few minutes.
By the end, you’ll have laughed, maybe snapped a few truly weird photos, and created one of those 'remember when...' moments that stick.
