Baby Shower Games Everyone Will Love

Planning a baby shower and want to keep guests entertained? Whether you’re hosting a cozy gathering or a big celebration, games are a must! They break the ice, spark laughter, and make the event more memorable for everyone—especially the parents-to-be. From hilarious to heartfelt, here’s a curated list of baby shower games that are easy to set up and guaranteed to bring the fun.

Baby Bingo

Create bingo cards with baby-related items like "bottle," "pacifier," "diapers," or even “mom-to-be laughs.” As gifts are opened or events unfold, guests mark off their squares. First bingo wins a prize!

Why it’s great: Keeps everyone engaged during gift opening.

Guess the Baby Food

Remove the labels from jars of baby food and number them. Guests taste each one and try to guess the flavor.

Pro tip: Use unusual flavors for extra laughs (like peas + banana).

Diaper Changing Race

Give guests baby dolls, diapers, and wipes. Time them to see who can “change” a diaper the fastest—bonus points for accuracy!

Why it’s fun: Great for hands-on laughs, especially with first-time dads or competitive friends.

Don’t Say “Baby”

Each guest gets a pin or clothespin when they arrive. If they say “baby” at any point, another guest can steal their pin. The guest with the most pins at the end wins.

Why it’s sneaky fun: It keeps everyone on their toes!

Baby Predictions & Advice Cards

Give each guest a card to write down predictions like birth date, weight, or name guesses. Add a section for parenting advice or wishes for the baby.

Keepsake bonus: Collect them for a sweet memory book.

What’s in Your Purse?

Make a checklist with items worth different points (lipstick = 5 pts, baby photo = 20 pts). Guests go through their bags and tally up their scores.

Perfect for a mixed-age crowd or a seated activity.

Baby Name Race

Pick a letter of the alphabet, and guests have one minute to write as many baby names as they can starting with that letter.

Make it harder: Use tricky letters like Q, X, or Z!

Who’s That Baby?

Ask guests to send you a baby photo of themselves before the shower. Display the photos and have everyone guess who’s who.

Why it’s adorable: Sweet and nostalgic—plus, great for laughs.

Baby Pictionary or Charades

Write baby-related words or phrases on slips of paper. Split into teams and play either Pictionary or Charades.

Examples: Changing a diaper, burping the baby, lullaby, stroller, etc.

The Price is Right: Baby Edition

Show baby products (wipes, bottle, onesies) and have guests guess the prices. Closest guess wins.

Modern twist: Include trendy items like a baby carrier or sound machine.

Bonus Game: Build-a-Book Station

Not really a game, but a great activity: Set up a DIY table with blank board books, stickers, and markers. Guests can create a simple story or decorate a page. A heartfelt and lasting gift for the baby!

Baby showers are all about celebrating a growing family with laughter, love, and lots of fun. Whether you choose one or mix a few, these baby shower games will make your event unforgettable—for the guests and the parents-to-be. Just don’t forget the prizes and your camera!
