10 Fun and Memorable Games for a Baby Shower
Baby showers are not only a time to celebrate the new arrival but also an opportunity to create lasting memories with friends and family. Adding games to the event can make it more lively, entertaining, and fun for everyone involved. Here’s a list of engaging and easy-to-organize baby shower games that will keep your guests smiling and laughing throughout the celebration.
1. Baby Bingo
Baby Bingo is a classic and versatile game that’s easy to set up. Create bingo cards with baby-related items (e.g., diapers, bottles, onesies) in the squares. As the parents-to-be open their gifts, guests mark off the items they see. The first person to get five in a row wins a prize!
What you need: Pre-made bingo cards, markers or pens, and small prizes.
2. Guess the Baby Food
Put your guests’ taste buds to the test with this hilarious game. Remove the labels from several jars of baby food and number them. Guests take turns tasting the baby food and guessing the flavor. The person with the most correct answers wins!
What you need: Baby food jars, small spoons, and a list of the flavors.
3. Diaper Raffle
This game is simple and practical. Include a note in the baby shower invitations encouraging guests to bring a pack of diapers to enter a raffle. At the event, draw a winner from the raffle tickets and award them a prize.
What you need: Raffle tickets and a prize for the winner.
4. Baby Name Race
Test your guests’ creativity with this fast-paced game. Set a timer for one minute and have guests write down as many baby names as they can think of, starting with a specific letter. The person with the most names wins.
What you need: Paper, pens, and a timer.
5. Who’s That Baby?
Before the shower, ask guests to bring a baby photo of themselves. Display the photos on a board and number them. Guests try to match each photo to the correct person. It’s a fun way to break the ice and get everyone laughing.
What you need: Baby photos from guests, a display board, and pens for guessing.
6. Don’t Say Baby
This simple game runs throughout the shower. When guests arrive, give them each a small clothespin or ribbon to wear. If someone hears another guest say the word “baby,” they can take their pin. The guest with the most pins at the end wins a prize.
What you need: Clothespins or ribbons and a prize for the winner.
7. Baby Trivia
Create a trivia game with questions about babies, parenting, or the parents-to-be. Include fun facts like the average number of diapers a baby uses in a year or famous celebrity baby names. Guests compete to see who knows the most about all things baby.
What you need: Trivia questions, answer sheets, and pens.
8. The Price is Right: Baby Edition
Gather a variety of baby items (e.g., diapers, bottles, pacifiers) and display them for guests to see. Have guests guess the price of each item. The person whose guesses are closest to the actual prices wins.
What you need: Baby items, price list, and paper for guesses.
9. Baby Shower Pictionary
This game is a baby-themed twist on classic Pictionary. Write down baby-related words or phrases (e.g., stroller, diaper bag, bedtime) on slips of paper. Guests take turns drawing the word while others guess.
What you need: Paper, markers, and a whiteboard or drawing pad.
10. Messages for the Baby
