Whats In The Diaper Bag
Introduction
Diaper bags are like little treasure chests for new parents except instead of gold, they’re packed with wipes, binkies, and who-knows-what else.
That’s the idea behind this game: What’s in the Diaper Bag? It’s part guessing game, part feel-it-out challenge, and all fun.
It’s simple to pull off, easy for guests to jump into, and always gets a mix of laughs and confused faces as people try to figure out if they’re holding a teething ring or a travel-size lotion bottle.
What You’ll Need
- One diaper bag (doesn’t need to be new just any decent-sized bag will do).
- 10 to 15 baby-related items some obvious, some tricky. Think pacifier, baby sock, travel wipes, diaper cream, bottle cap, tiny toy, etc.
- Small index cards and pens so guests can write down their guesses.
- Optional: a blindfold if you want to make it even more interesting, or just tell guests 'no peeking!'
- A prize for the guest with the most correct guesses (or the most ridiculous wrong ones your call).
How to Play
- Before the game starts, secretly fill the diaper bag with the baby items you picked. Try to mix it up some soft, some squishy, some weirdly shaped.
- Have guests come up one at a time and reach into the bag without looking. They feel around and try to guess what’s in there, either saying it out loud or writing it down.
- If your group’s big, you can pass the bag around instead of calling people up.
- Once everyone’s had a turn (or a set amount of time has passed), go through the bag together and reveal each item one by one.
- Guests check their lists and count how many they got right. Most correct guesses wins!
Fun Variations
Speed Round: Give guests only 5 seconds to feel and guess each item. Fast hands, fast thinking.
Charades-Style Clues: Instead of writing their guesses, guests act them out and others try to figure it out.
Mystery Twist: Add one totally random, non-baby item (like a spoon or keychain) just to throw people off.
No Hands Allowed: Guests can use elbows, noses, or even feet but no hands! Yes, it gets weird fast.
Team Mode: Pair people up and let them whisper guesses to each other, then submit one final list together.
Why Guests Love It
- It’s super tactile you actually get to feel things, not just sit and guess.
- Even folks who usually stay quiet end up laughing and throwing out wild guesses.
- There’s always one item that stumps everyone and leads to some hilarious debates.
- It doesn’t take much to set up but feels really interactive.
- People love seeing just how random (and packed!) a real diaper bag can get.
Conclusion
What’s in the Diaper Bag? is one of those games that hits the sweet spot it’s simple, silly, and just the right kind of unpredictable.
It works for big crowds or smaller, more laid-back gatherings, and gives people something to do with their hands while they laugh and chat.
Plus, it’s always fun to see who turns out to be surprisingly good at recognizing things by touch alone. (Spoiler: It’s usually the aunties.)
