Baby Shower Game Guide

If you want your baby shower to be a celebration, what better way than playing party games?

Here are our Top 10 Baby Shower Games:

  • TV Family Game: If you love pop culture, this game is sure to be a hit. Print handouts with the names of the characters from a TV family, and guests have to name the show.
  • Don’t Say Baby: Guests each wear a clothespin, but if they are the caught saying the word ā€œbaby,ā€ they lose their pin to the person who caught them. The guest with the most pins at the end of the shower wins a prize!
  • Guess Who: Ask guests to bring a baby photo of themselves, and then post them on a wall with no names, just numbers. Everyone has to guess who is who from their baby photos. The most correct answers wins!
  • Name Scramble: On a sheet of paper, type out Mom and Dad’s names. Set a timer and have the guests make as many words as they can using only the letters from those two names. Most words within the time frame wins!
  • Baby Gift Bingo: Print out various Bingo cards where the squares are filled with common baby gifts (a pack of pacifiers, a set of pink washcloths, etc;). First person to complete a Bingo card shouts out “Baby!”
  • Diaper Race: Bring some baby dolls and disposable diapers, then have teams race to see who can get them on fastest! This can be an individual game or a relay if you have more people!
  • The Price is Right: A twist on the popular game show, pick out several common baby items and have everyone guess the prices. The closest guess wins!
  • Feed the Baby: Instead of just guessing baby food flavors, get messy by blindfolding both team members and have them attempt to feed applesauce to each other. This is good practice for feeding a wiggly baby!
  • Baby Charades: A perfect game for a low-budget party- simply use baby-related clues for this classic pantomime game!
  • Raffle Prizes: No skill required- just include on the invitation that guests who bring a pack of diapers will receive a raffle ticket and be entered for a great prize! This helps the parents stock up on a much-needed essential in a fun way.

Game prizes don’t have to be huge- a small gift card, candles, bath sets or picture frames are easy choices at a low cost. Remember to tailor your games to your crowd and the mama- some people prefer word games to physical activities. A good time for mom and baby is the goal!
