19 <\/b>Fun Baby Shower Games <\/b>Everyone Will Love<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Women<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something for everyone on this list of <\/span>baby shower games<\/span>. Some of them will also work as<\/span> virtual baby shower games<\/a><\/strong> if you\u2019re hosting a separate event for those who can\u2019t be there in person. Without further ado, here are the <\/span>best baby shower game ideas<\/span> to play at your celebration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. <\/b>Baby Shower Bingo<\/b><\/h3>\n

Opening presents is a key part of a baby shower. Make the process more fun by getting guests in on the action with bingo. Print out a unique bingo card for each guest featuring common baby <\/span>shower gifts<\/span> like <\/span>baby bottles<\/span>, <\/span>onesies<\/span>, <\/span>pacifiers<\/span>, <\/span>gift cards, <\/span>and <\/span>strollers<\/span>. The first guest to check off a row, column, or diagonal wins!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Blind <\/b>Diaper Change<\/b><\/h3>\n

What\u2019s harder than changing a diaper? Doing it blindfolded and as fast as you can. Divide guests up into small teams and have them line up next to each other in front of a table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Give each participant a <\/span>blindfold<\/span>. Set out diapers and a <\/span>baby doll<\/span> wearing a diaper for each team. Ask the <\/span>first person<\/span> on the team to take off the baby’s diaper and put a new one on. When they finish, the next <\/span>team member<\/span> hops in to take over. The <\/span>first team<\/span> to finish and properly put on the doll\u2019s diaper wins.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Don\u2019t Say Baby<\/b><\/h3>\n
\"Baby

Design: Snow and Ivy<\/p><\/div>\n

Invitation Inspiration<\/b>: <\/span>Bubble Bath Invitation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This <\/span>baby shower game<\/span> is easy to pull together because it doesn\u2019t involve any prep work or supplies. The idea of the game is that guests can\u2019t <\/span>say the word<\/span> \u201cbaby.\u201d Give guests a <\/span>clothespin<\/span> at the beginning of the party and tell them not to <\/span>say the word<\/span>. If they do, another guest can steal their <\/span>clothespin<\/span>. Whoever has the most clothespins at the end of the party wins a prize.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Who Knows Mommy Best?<\/b><\/h3>\n

This competitive game pits friends and family against each other as they show off how much they know about the <\/span>mom-to-be<\/span>. It\u2019s an easy game to play since all you need is a pen and paper for each guest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask questions from a prepared list \u2014 think of things like: \u201cWhat hospital was the <\/span>mom-to-be<\/span> born at?\u201d and \u201cWhat was the <\/span>mom-to-be<\/span>\u2019s college major?\u201d Whoever guesses the most questions correctly takes home a prize.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. My <\/b>Water Broke<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking for classic <\/span>baby shower games<\/span>, this one can\u2019t be missed. Before the baby shower, buy small <\/span>plastic baby dolls<\/span> and freeze them into large <\/span>ice cubes<\/span>. On the day of the party, give each guest an <\/span>ice cube<\/span> and ask them to break it open as fast as they can. The <\/span>first person<\/span> to free the <\/span>plastic babies<\/span> and yell \u201cMy <\/span>water broke<\/span>\u201d takes home a prize.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Guess the Disney Babies<\/b><\/h3>\n
\"Once

Design: Signature Greenvelope<\/p><\/div>\n

Invitation Inspiration<\/b>:<\/span> Once Upon a Time Invitation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This <\/span>guessing game<\/span> is great for Disney-themed showers or parents who love Disney. Print out a list of Disney character moms (Sarabi, Lady Elinor, Perdita, and Nani) and leave a blank space next to each character. During the party, have the guests write down the kid\u2019s name for each mom. The person with the <\/span>most correct answers<\/span> wins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Find the Guest<\/b><\/h3>\n

This interactive <\/span>trivia game<\/span> is an excellent <\/span>icebreaker<\/span> if there are groups of people at your party who don’t know each other well. Write down a list of fun facts focusing on things guests have in common. For instance, \u201cwent to so-and-so high school\u201d or \u201cworks with the <\/span>mom-to-be.<\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make copies of the list and give one to each guest as they arrive. Ask them to interview each other and find someone who fits the description. This way, guests can start to mingle and meet each other while playing a fun game.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Guess the <\/b>Candy Bar<\/b><\/h3>\n

This game is not for the faint-hearted and definitely not for formal baby showers. But it sure is fun if you have guests who aren\u2019t afraid to be silly! Grab a few different kinds of chocolate <\/span>candy bars<\/span>, melt them down, and pour them into a diaper. The idea is to make it look like a <\/span>dirty diaper<\/span>. Ask guests to sniff or taste the chocolate in each diaper and guess what kind of candy it is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Name That Baby Tune<\/b><\/h3>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

A baby-themed take on the classic <\/span>Name That Tune<\/span> game, this activity is fun to play and sure to bring back fond memories of your own childhood. Create or download a <\/span>playlist<\/span> of baby songs and <\/span>nursery rhymes<\/span>. During the party, play each one and ask guests to shout out the name of the song. Not every game needs a winner, and this could be one of those baby shower games that\u2019s more of an icebreaker or fun activity to do while eating.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. What\u2019s Mommy Craving?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another <\/span>trivia<\/span>-style game, this one is all about guessing the <\/span>new mom<\/span>\u2019s pregnancy cravings. Give each party guest a <\/span>sheet of paper<\/span> or a <\/span>note card<\/span>. Get everyone together and have the <\/span>mom-to-be<\/span> describe the types of foods she\u2019s craving, without saying the name. Guests write down their answers and whoever guesses the most correctly, wins a special <\/span>shower gift<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. <\/b>The Price Is Right<\/b><\/h3>\n

Having a baby can be expensive, but do you know how pricey raising a child can be? This <\/span>baby shower activity<\/span> aims to find out by putting a baby-focused theme on the classic <\/span>The Price is Right<\/span> game. Print out a list of <\/span>baby items<\/span> and quantities \u2014 think: 50 baby wipes, 15 <\/span>bibs<\/span>, or 100 diapers. During the party, have guests guess how much each one costs and ask them to write down their answers. The person who comes closest to the right answer without going over the correct amount wins.<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Guess the <\/b>Celebrity Baby<\/b><\/h3>\n

Before the party, download images of celebrities as babies. During the event, ask guests to <\/span>guess who<\/span> the celebrity is in each <\/span>baby photo<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

13. <\/b>Charades<\/b><\/h3>\n

Charades<\/span> is a go-to <\/span>party game<\/span> for a reason: it\u2019s easy to plan and fun to play. Divide guests into teams and have one person from each team come up front. Ask them to pick a baby-related word and have them act it out for their teams. The team that guesses first, wins a point. The <\/span>next person<\/span> on the team comes up and acts out a new word. Play a few rounds before declaring a winner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

14. <\/b>Diaper Raffle<\/b><\/h3>\n

A <\/span>diaper raffle<\/span> not only gives the p<\/span>arents-to-be<\/span> what they need but it also gives guests a chance to win a prize. On your <\/span>digital invitations<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, ask guests to bring along at least one package of diapers. Let them know that for each package they bring, they\u2019ll get a <\/span>raffle ticket<\/span>. On the day of the event, hand out <\/span>raffle tickets<\/span> to each guest. At the <\/span>end of the shower<\/span>, draw a <\/span>raffle ticket<\/span> from a jar and award the winner with a small gift.<\/span><\/p>\n

Invitation Inspiration<\/b>: <\/span>Little Sunshine On the Way Invitation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning a <\/span>coed baby shower<\/span>, play this game that\u2019s all about getting to know the parents. Print out a list of questions before the party, such as: Who gets to sleep through the night? Who changes diapers the fastest? Who prepares the baby\u2019s breakfast?<\/span><\/p>\n

During the party, have everyone write down their answers to the questions. Then, bring the <\/span>new parents<\/span> up to the front and have them read through each one, giving the correct answers. The person with the most correct guesses gets a prize.<\/span><\/p>\n

16. <\/b>Baby Animal<\/b> Names<\/b><\/h3>\n
