lots of nursery rhymes with actions like row, row, row your boat and twinkle twinkle little star and games like peek-a-boo

Anything that involves interaction between yourself and bub. Bub will love just being in your presence, that’s all he craves, what you do is not important after that

so young! I can only think of peeka boo

singing, peek- a boo. baby is just starting to show their personality at this stage. still be very gentle

Really only singing with a 3 month old, bot quite ready for games as such. I used to sit my bub on my lap & bop up & down while singing nursery rhymes.

peek a boo, Row, row, row your boat, Dancing, reading story books, round and round the garden. Just lots of talking to them, telling them what you’re doing.

Cuddles are great at any age. Pulling faces is another good one. Singing songs, anything that is you and bub interacting is great.

I think three month old baby not ready to play games. Might be only toys, books with colourful picture or musical gym.

You have some great answers already.

My daughter loved me singing songs like insy winsy spider and reading picture books. She also loved toys that made noises like ones with bells inside and crinkly sounding toys. She really didn’t get into games like peek a boo until 6 months

i was reading and singing a lot to my daughter when she was 3 months. Games couldn’t really get her attention

Round and round the garden or this little piggy

Some good suggestions – I liked to do ” round and round the garden” on their hands or feet.

Peek a boo is always fun.

I hope you found some useful game that you can play with your baby

I read books and I also play the piano for them, they love the sound of music

Seriously A-Edwards? There’s lots of games you can play with them! Do you expect them to just lay around and do nothing in the time they’re awake. I pretty much based play time around making them laugh at that age. I also enjoyed reading books to them. Along with everything else I already suggested. And also giving them tummy time but getting down on your tummy next to them and talking to them, even simple things like that can keep them amused.

3 month old? Don’t u jus goo n gaa over them? Can’t really play games can u?

From day one, your baby’s interested in what’s going on around him. Deep in his head, there’s a lot going on. Connections are being made and information is being sorted and categorized.

Playing games helps fit the puzzle pieces together — as your baby grows, play is crucial for his social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Play also brings you and your baby closer and makes your time together that much more enjoyable. Remember: The more your baby laughs, the less he cries!

A few notes for the novice baby-entertainer: Repetition is important. Many games won’t work the first time you play them, but if you keep up your efforts your kid will eventually start cracking up the minute you reach for a particular toy.

Your baby’s attention span will vary a lot, depending on his age, his temperament, and his mood. Sometimes he’ll enjoy a game for as long as 20 minutes, but more often you’ll need to modify the game every five minutes or so. You’ll know your baby’s loving your antics when he’s turning toward you, smiling, or laughing. But if he squirms away from you, looks away, or cries, it’s time to change the activity.

Some babies are easily overstimulated. If yours starts to cry during playtime, don’t despair. Switch to calmer activities like cuddling, looking at picture books, singing soft songs, or nursing.

Keep in mind that not every baby will catch on to every game that’s supposedly perfect for his age range. Don’t allow this to freak you out, as in: Oh no, Noah’s not reaching out for objects yet — there’s something wrong with him! There’s probably nothing at all wrong. Your baby may be a little slower than the mythical “average” baby in this way, but he’s probably ahead in another way. Of course, if you suspect your child has a developmental delay, talk to his doctor.

Birth to 3 months

To the outside observer, a newborn basically seems like a pooping ball of protoplasm. Your baby will mostly just lie there, except when he’s crying. So how can you connect with him and have fun?

Your best chance of doing this is to engage your baby’s senses: touch, sight (remember, your baby is still very nearsighted), smell, and hearing. (Let’s leave taste out for now.) By the end of his first three months, your baby may reach out and try to grab things and will be fascinated by sounds, smells, and patterns.

Note: It may take your newborn several seconds to respond to you or he may not respond much at all. Be patient — you may need to keep trying or wait a while for him to enter an alert, responsive state.

Dance, Dance Revolution
In the afternoons when my baby got grumpy, nothing worked as well as dancing with her. I’d put on some music — she preferred soulful tunes from Stevie Wonder and James Brown — and either put her in the sling or hold her in my arms.

At first she preferred soft swaying. Later on she liked me to swing her in the air or bump her up and down rather rudely. (Just be sure to offer neck support and don’t shake your baby.) When your arms get tired, put your baby down and keep up the dance.

Silly exaggerated movements like jazz hands or shaking your butt are particularly funny to babies. Close the drapes so the neighbors won’t see.
