This candy bar baby shower matching game is the best. It's fun for everyone, perfect for groups big and small!
We love baby showers around here. I recently made this candy bar matching game for a baby shower and it was a hit! It is a pretty basic matching game.
Each person who makes a match gets to keep the corresponding candy bar, so there are lots of winners!
It doesn't take too long, and it's great for groups of any size!

How to Prepare the Game
- Download the file to your computer and print the cards onto white card stock.
- Cut them out leaving a little bit of space around the border. (I swear by this paper cutter for projects like this.)
- For each candy bar name or baby shower phrase, glue a patterned card onto the back.
- Optional: cut a piece of colored card stock into a slightly bigger rectangle and glue both sides to that. That's what I've done to give these cards a cute, pink border!
- Collect all the candy bars you need and keep them in a cute basket. I made a shopping list of candy bars you'll need that you can print: candy bar baby shower shopping list.
- Arrange the cards on a large poster board, magnet board, or on the wall. I like to use poster putty for this.
How to Play the Baby Shower Candy Bar Game
- Display all the cards on a poster board or magnet board.
- Each guest will take turns turning over two cards. If the two cards they turn over aren't a match, turn them back over but leave them in the same spot.
- If a guest finds a match, they get the corresponding candy bar as a prize!
- Keep playing until all matches have been found.

If you can't find some of the candy bars, don't stress about it. Just remove the cards that you don't have a corresponding candy for, or offer a different one as a prize for those matches.
Have fun!

Tried to download this game but it never popped up after I subscribed (which is what it says to do). Very disappointing.
Sarah
I'm sorry that it didn't work. That is frustrating. I just tested it out myself to see what's going on, and the email did come but it was in my spam folder. If you still want the game and they didn't go to your spam folder or your inbox and you want me to send the file, please send an email to prettyprovidence@gmail.com
