Baby Shower Games That Everyone Will Enjoy
1. Baby Name Race
This fun and fast-paced game gets everyone’s creative juices flowing. Provide guests with a piece of paper and a pen. Set a timer for two minutes and challenge everyone to write down as many baby names as they can think of starting with a specific letter. The person with the most unique names wins!
2. Guess the Baby Food
Line up several jars of baby food and remove the labels. Number each jar and pass them around with spoons for tasting. Guests must guess the flavor of each jar and write their answers down. The person with the most correct guesses wins. Tip: Include some tricky flavors for extra laughs!
3. Who’s That Baby?
Before the shower, ask guests to send a baby photo of themselves. Create a display with the photos and assign each one a number. Guests will write down their guesses for who’s who. The person with the most correct guesses wins.
4. Diaper Raffle
Add a touch of practicality to the fun with a diaper raffle. Ask guests to bring a pack of diapers to enter the raffle. During the shower, pull a name from the entries to win a prize. This game not only adds excitement but also helps the parents stock up on essentials.
5. Baby Charades
Split guests into teams and have them act out baby-related activities or items, such as “changing a diaper,” “rocking a baby to sleep,” or “feeding a bottle.” Use a timer and award points for each correct guess. It’s guaranteed to have everyone laughing!
6. Don’t Say ‘Baby’
Upon arrival, hand each guest a clothespin or a small charm to wear. The rule is simple: no one can say the word ‘baby’ throughout the event. If someone slips up, the person who catches them gets to take their pin. The guest with the most pins at the end of the shower wins a prize.
7. Baby Bingo
Hand out bingo cards and have guests fill in the squares when items are called. The first person to get five in a row shouts “Bingo!” Here are some cute cards to use.
Another way to play baby bingo is to hand out blank bingo cards and ask guests to fill in the squares with items they think the mom-to-be will receive as gifts (e.g., diapers, bottles, onesies). As gifts are opened, guests can mark off their squares. The first person to get five in a row shouts “Bingo!”
7. Who’s That Baby?
Before the shower, ask guests to send a baby photo of themselves. Create a display with the photos and assign each one a number. Guests will write down their guesses for who’s who. The person with the most correct guesses wins.
8. The Price is Right: Baby Edition
Display several baby items, such as diapers, bottles, pacifiers, and toys, along with blank price tags. Guests must guess the price of each item and write it down. The person with the closest total without going over wins.
9. Sweet Messages on Diapers
Provide a stack of diapers and markers, and invite guests to write funny or encouraging messages for those late-night changes. This isn’t a competition, but it’s a meaningful activity that will make the parents smile long after the shower.
10. Advice for the Parents-to-Be
Set up a station with index cards and pens where guests can write down their best parenting advice, funny anecdotes, or heartfelt wishes for the new parents. Later, these can be read aloud for everyone to enjoy.
11. Blindfolded Diaper Changing
This blindfolded diaper-changing game would be great for a co-ed shower but should also work with just women. It’s just what it sounds like, blindfolded diaper changing.
12. Baby Bottle Chug
See who can chug apple juice or water from a baby bottle fastest. You can typically get cheap bottles from the dollar store!
13. Dirty Diaper Game
Melt a variety of candy bars in the microwave just enough to soften them, then spread the melted candy inside each diaper. Label each diaper with a number so guests can reference them on their answer sheets. Pass the diapers around to the guests. Their job is to examine (and optionally smell or even taste!) the “dirty diaper” contents and write down their guesses for what type of candy bar is inside each one. Once everyone has finished, reveal the candy bars used and award a prize to the person with the most correct guesses.
14. How Big Is Her Tummy?
Give each guest a spool of ribbon, and have them cut it to the size they think the expecting momma’s tummy is around. You can have a piece of ribbon cut to the exact size for everyone to compare once their ribbon is cut. The closest one wins!
15. Guess The Price
In this spin on the game show classic, guests share their best guesses for how much various baby items cost. Guessing the prices is a whole lot of fun (and can prompt a lot of laughter when guesses are way off). Before guests arrive, print a list of baby items and look up the average price for each item online. Or you can save time and use this one. On the printable, ask guests to write down their best guesses for how much each item costs. Whoever gets the closest to the price (without going over) wins.
Tips for Choosing Baby Shower Games
- Consider your audience: Choose games that match the vibe of your guest list. Some groups love active games, while others prefer something low-key.
- Keep it short: Aim for a mix of games that last 10-15 minutes to keep the energy up without dragging on.
- Have prizes ready: Small, thoughtful prizes like candles, gift cards, or treats make the games more exciting.
With these baby shower games, you’ll create an atmosphere of fun, laughter, and connection that everyone will enjoy. Best of all, these games will make the celebration even more memorable for the parents-to-be and their loved ones.
