31 Games for Baby Showers Fun for Both Guests and the Mom-to-Be

Ask guests to write down their wishes for the baby’s future. These can be hopes and dreams about the child’s life and what they wish for them.

For an added touch, create a version for the parent-to-be. Encourage guests to share advice and offer support as they enter their new role. This activity will make a beautiful keepsake for the parents, and the wishes for the baby will be fun to revisit as the child grows older.

Examples of Wishes for the Baby

• I hope you will experience a life full of…
• I hope that you and I will…
• One good thing to remember is…

Examples of Love and Wisdom for the Parent

• When things get tough, remember that you…
• You will become a wonderful parent because…
• I wish you a…

This fun baby shower activity is a perfect icebreaker. Even if you’ve played it before, it’s always a new challenge because the game changes with the names of the parents-to-be. The activity can be played individually or in teams, making it versatile for any setting.

To start, write the full names of the mom-to-be and dad-to-be at the top of a piece of paper. Be sure to include both first and last names. Hand one sheet and a pen to each guest at the baby shower. Set a timer for five minutes.

The goal is for each player to come up with as many names as possible using only the letters from the parents-to-be’s names. Give one sheet and pen per group if you’re playing in teams. When the timer runs out, the guest or team with the most correct names wins. This activity will surely sprinkle some fun into your baby shower!

This classic baby shower activity is easy to prepare, always a hit, and also works well for large groups. All you need is a printed (or written) column containing the letters A to Z. Hand over copies to the participants. Play in teams or individually.

In just five minutes, contestants will try to come up with a baby-related word for each letter of the alphabet, such as “B” for breastfeeding or “D” for diapers. The player or team with the most correct answers wins.

Since this is a well-known game, you might have already played it at previous baby showers. I’ve come up with a few fun twists to keep things fresh.

Fun Twists

• Come up with a boy’s name and a girl’s name for each letter
• Write the name of a famous (fictional or not) parent for each letter
• Ask guests to come up with words related to the parents-to-be
• Another twist is to play the game after the gift opening and make the topic “things you can find in the room.” With so many gifts around, this allows your guests to get creative with their answers.

• A baby in need is a baby indeed (friend, friend)
• Better late than baby (never)
• Don’t put all your babies in one basket (eggs)

A baby shower (or sprinkle) quiz is a fun and easy activity everyone can enjoy. It’s a great way to engage parents-to-be and the guests, and everyone may learn something new!

This baby shower game is easy to set up and requires almost no preparation, making it a great choice for a fun activity at any point during the celebration.

Start by dividing the guests and parent-to-be into teams. Give each group a blank piece of paper and a pen. Then, challenge each team to write down as many song titles as possible that include the words “baby” or “child” in the lyrics. Set a four-minute timer, and the team with the most correct song titles wins the game.

If you play this game at the start of the baby shower, you can add the winning team’s song suggestions to a playlist and play it in the background for the rest of the party, adding a fun touch to the atmosphere.

Fun Twist

For a fun twist, have a song with “baby” or “child” in the lyrics play in the background, preferably where those words appear frequently. The tune will add a playful atmosphere and may even confuse the teams, making the game more entertaining.

This baby shower game is a fun and popular activity everyone can enjoy. Whether you gather the guests around a table or have them sit in the living room, it’s a great way to get everyone involved. You can divide the guests into teams or have them compete individually.

Before the baby shower, prepare at least 10 words about pregnancy or newborn babies. Shuffle the letters of each word to make them more challenging to guess, then print the scrambled words on paper to hand out at the party.

Each team or individual must try to unscramble the words quickly. The team or player who unscrambles all the words first wins the game.

Fun Twist

Include the mom-to-be’s name among the scrambled words.

Many of us have participated in the diaper raffle, a fun, and extremely popular baby shower activity. It combines an exciting game with a thoughtful way to support the new parents.

Inform your guests in advance that a diaper raffle will take place at the baby shower. Participation is entirely voluntary, but if a guest wants to participate, they must bring at least one package of diapers. The more diapers they bring, the more chances they have to win exciting prizes. Guests will receive one raffle ticket for each diaper package they bring, and bringing multiple packages increases their odds of winning.

Ultimately, the parents-to-be will receive plenty of diapers, and everyone will enjoy the chance to win with their raffle tickets. It’s a win-win for all! Be sure to prepare some fantastic prizes for the winners.

Some Fun Twists

• Encourage guests to wrap their diaper packages creatively. They can decorate them with baby-themed items, use a specific color scheme, make them eco-friendly, design them to resemble animals, create a cake-like appearance, or hide them in a cute gift bag. Reward the most creative diaper wraps with a special prize!

• Another fun idea is to have guests write a sweet, funny, or encouraging message on their diaper packages before handing them in. Whether it’s a poem, a funny note for the parents, or a message to (or from) the baby, it’s a great way to add a personal touch to the fun!

Here’s a fun and fast-paced baby shower game designed for those who may not be pregnant but still want to experience the excitement of rushing to the restroom while trying to keep everything together! This competitive activity is one of my favorites, allowing the expecting mother to relax and enjoy watching her friends and family have a great time participating.

To set it up, ensure there is plenty of space - ideally outdoors or in a large room. Place a bucket on one side of the room or yard for each participant, and provide each person with three coins and an inflated balloon. Participants must place the balloon under their shirts and one coin between their knees.

When the game starts, players must race to their bucket quickly, trying to drop the coin inside without using their hands. After successfully dropping a coin into the bucket, they return to grab the next coin and repeat the process. The first person to get all their coins into the bucket wins the game. If a coin falls, the player must stop, pick it up, place it between their knees, and continue.

Outdoor Twist

For an outdoor twist, you can use water balloons instead of coins. Participants must hurry without “letting their water break” as they race to the bucket. It’s hilarious for the expecting mother to sit back and watch the fun!

This fun and lively baby shower game is perfect for an outdoor setting with plenty of space to run and enjoy the competition. It also avoids making a mess indoors!

Start by giving each guest an egg - either hard-boiled or raw - and some paints or markers to decorate it like a baby. Once their “baby” is ready, the challenge begins. Guests must race through a course while carrying their eggs in a spoon. They’re out of the game if the egg is dropped or cracked.

The first person to finish the course with an unscathed egg wins! You can make it even more fun by deciding whether guests should carry their spoons with their hands or, for an added challenge, with their mouths. If you choose the hand option, ask them to use their non-dominant hand for extra difficulty.

The course can be simple, like a straight line across a lawn, or spice it up with obstacles. Guests can crawl under tables, zigzag through cones, or step over hurdles, adding excitement to the race.

At your baby shower, let the guests experience life from a baby’s perspective.

Each participant will receive a baby bottle filled with a beverage, such as lemonade, water, or infant formula. To make it more challenging, you can use a baby bottle with small holes. Once the game begins, everyone must drink quickly and empty their bottles. The first person to finish wins the game.

In this fun and unique baby shower game, you will create a list of some of the most popular names given to newborns the previous year in your country or region. For each name, leave out some letters and print them on paper to hand out. For example, a pattern for the name “Hannah” might look like this: H_ n _ _ h.

Players must guess which boy’s or girl’s name fits each pattern. Before the game starts, decide if you will only accept names from the top 100 list or if any name that fits the pattern will be acceptable. Be sure to communicate your rules clearly to avoid confusion.

Set a timer for 5 minutes, and let the fun begin! The winner will be the player or team that guesses the most correct names.

If you want a friendly but fun activity, the game Finish the Sentence is an excellent choice. I have provided two options for how to play. I prefer the first option, which is perfect if the parent-to-be enjoys being in the spotlight.

To play, list baby/pregnancy/parent-related words and phrases (8 to 12 will do) for the players to finish. Hand out a copy to each guest and the parent-to-be. Don’t forget to provide everyone with a pen!

Option 1 - Matching Against the Parent-to-Be

In this option, the parent-to-be fills out their paper, and the other players try to finish the sentences on their papers to match the parent-to-be’s responses.

This game is most enjoyable when everyone shares their answers! Once everyone is finished, go through each sentence and let everyone read their answers aloud before the parent-to-be reveals the correct answer. Players earn one point for each sentence that matches the parent-to-be’s answer. The player with the most matches wins!

Option 2 - Matching in Pairs

In this option, players pair up and attempt to finish their sentences in the same way as their partner.

Once everyone is done, the pairs work together to score their answers and discuss their choices! Each pair earns one point for every sentence where they finished it the same way. The pair with the most matches wins!

Have fun!

Some suggestions of words

• Mother
• Father
• Diaper
• Baby
• Pacifier

For this fun baby shower activity, gather photos of the parent-to-be from various stages of their childhood. Label each image with a number and challenge the guests to guess the age of the parent when each photo was taken.

To keep it simple, you can place the photos on a table or hang them around the room for a more interactive experience. This setup encourages mingling, as guests can move around and discuss their guesses with one another, making it a perfect icebreaker to kick off the baby shower.

Have everyone write their names and guesses on a sheet of paper and hand them to you for review.

A baby shower or baby sprinkle wouldn’t be complete without this fun and engaging game. In this activity, each guest will guess when the baby will arrive, including both the due date and the time of day.

You can either collect all the guesses yourself or have the guests write their predictions on paper, ensuring they include their names. Feel free to include additional questions about the baby if you wish.

For added enjoyment, consider using a calendar to record the guesses. Once all predictions are in, write them on the calendar. As the due date approaches, the parents-to-be can enjoy seeing who had the closest guess or keep all the predictions as a keepsake.

To make it a competition, reward the guest who has the closest guess for the arrival time. Let the guessing begin!

This fun baby shower activity will engage your guests' senses as they try to guess different baby food flavors. Provide a variety of baby food jars and have the guests (or just the parents-to-be) guess what each one contains. For an added challenge, consider using blindfolds.

Variant: Smell the Diaper

In this variation, participants skip the tasting and instead rely on their sense of smell. Prepare several diapers by filling them with different foods and sealing them closed. Pass the diapers around and have everyone smell them, writing down what food they think each one contains.

Variant: Dirty Diaper

For an even more adventurous twist, try the “dirty diaper” version of the game. In this variant, the baby food is served in actual diapers, and participants must taste and identify the flavors. You can also use treats like chocolate to add to the experience.

This fun and easygoing baby shower game requires some preparation but will surely spark conversation and encourage mingling! Ask your guests to send you a baby photo of themselves before the party (try to get one of the parent-to-be, too!). Once you have collected the pictures, print them out and hang them on a wall, assigning a number to each photo.

During the baby shower, guests and the parent-to-be will try to guess which baby photo belongs to which guest. They will write their guesses next to the corresponding photo numbers. If someone is unsure, they can describe the person instead, saying something like, “#5 is the woman in the pink skirt” or “#7 is the man wearing yellow socks.” The one with the most correct guesses wins.

This game is great even if your guests have played it before; there are always new faces at each baby shower. Guests can easily provide a new baby picture they haven’t used previously, keeping the game fresh and enjoyable!

Get ready for a fun and interactive baby shower icebreaker game! To prepare, write the names of well-known mothers on name tags, choosing a theme that fits your guests - celebrity moms, TV show moms, or cartoon moms.

As each guest arrives, please give them a name tag to attach to their back, making sure they can’t see it! The goal is simple: guests must figure out which mom’s name is on their back by asking others yes or no questions, like “Am I from a movie?” or “Am I real or fictional?”.

This game is a great way to help guests mingle and get to know each other better. While you can make it a competition, most guests will enjoy the fun and interaction without worrying about winning. Keep the game going for 15-20 minutes, then move on to the next activity.

Note: Only play this game if the mom-to-be is comfortable with it.

In this fun baby shower game, each guest receives a piece of string or yarn and is asked to cut it to the length they think matches the circumference of the mom-to-be’s belly. Once everyone has made their guess, the mom’s belly is measured using the strings to see whose guess is closest. The mom-to-be can also join in the fun by cutting her own piece of string.

Variant

Alternatively, instead of measuring the mom-to-be’s belly with each string, you can pre-measure her belly and cut a string to the correct length. Then, everyone will compare their strings to this pre-measured one to see who’s closest.

This new baby shower game will show just how much liquid a diaper can actually hold!

To start, pass around a diaper in one of the smaller sizes. Guests can feel and squeeze the diaper before guessing how much water it can hold without leaking. Encourage everyone to submit their guesses.

Once all the guesses have been made, it’s time for the testing. Begin with the lowest guess and pour that amount of water into the diaper. Be sure to saturate both the front and back absorbent layers, as they are often overlooked. Allow the diaper enough time to absorb the water. The diaper is full when the surface feels nearly dry to the touch.

After each pour, hold the diaper upside down. If no water leaks out, move on to the next guess and pour in the additional amount to match that guess. Continue this process until the diaper leaks.

The highest guess that does not cause a leak wins!

If none of the guesses make the diaper leak, the participant with the highest guess still wins. However, pouring in the amount that eventually causes it to leak can be entertaining, as it usually exceeds what people expect.

Extension of the Game

To extend the game, use a much larger diaper, such as one designed for a two-year-old. These can hold A LOT.

This fun and lighthearted activity is perfect for a baby shower and serves as a great icebreaker to get everyone in the right mood to celebrate.

To play, print out a list of questions related to parenthood and distribute them to each guest. The challenge is for everyone to decide whether each question is more likely to apply to the mom-to-be or the dad-to-be. The best part is that everyone can join - including you, the organizer!

At the end of the game, let the soon-to-be parents serve as the answer key or ask one of their closest friends or family members to provide the correct answers. This can be particularly entertaining, as those who know the couple well might not have the same opinions as the parents-to-be.

Some example of questions

• Who’s the most likely to brag about the baby?
• Who’s most likely to put the baby in front of a screen?
• Who will handle sleepless nights best?
• Who had the most say in choosing the stroller?

Name 3 is a fun and engaging parlor game that everyone can play. To prepare, list 6 to 8 categories related to babies and parents. Here are some examples:

• Beloved nursery rhymes
• Items a baby needs
• Famous fictional parents

Print one copy of the lists for each player and provide pens. Under each category, players will need to write three answers. The goal is to match your answers with as many other players as possible.

Once everyone has finished writing, review one category at a time to see what everyone wrote.

Scoring works as follows:

• Every answer earns at least 1 point.
• Players receive an extra point for each other player who matches their answer in the same category.
• The order of answers does not matter; only individual answers must match, not the entire category.

Example: If five players wrote “baby stroller” under “Items a baby needs,” each of those players gets 5 points. If a player wrote “pacifier” in this category but received no matches from others, they get 1 point for that answer.

After scoring all categories, the player with the highest total points wins.

Personal Variant

Create personalized categories focusing on the life the baby will experience with the mom-to-be and dad-to-be.

• Locations where the dad-to-be will bring the baby.
• Three phrases the mom-to-be will frequently say to the baby.
• Name the restaurants where this family is likely to dine.
• Songs the baby will hear the parents play in the car.

In this fun and fast-paced baby shower game, the mom-to-be (or both parents-to-be) get to show off their diaper bag-packing skills.

Begin by placing an empty diaper bag on a table or the floor, surrounded by typical diaper bag essentials such as diapers, wipes, a changing pad, baby clothes, pacifiers, and small towels. Inform the mom-to-be (or both parents) that they are rushing to a health checkup and have just 30 seconds to pack everything into the diaper bag, ensuring every pocket is filled.

To make the game even more exciting, you can conclude it by gifting the packed diaper bag and its contents to the parents-to-be. It’s a fun way to add a personal touch to the shower while helping them prepare for the arrival of their baby!

This fun and quirky baby shower game is played in teams of two. The goal is to be the fastest. You’ll need a stopwatch to time each group.

One team member, blindfolded, must try to place a pacifier into the mouth of the other team member, who will be positioned across the room and can only respond with the word “Mommy!” To make things more challenging, have the blindfolded participant spin a few times before starting the search for “the baby.”

The clock stops once the pacifier is securely in “the baby’s” mouth. Then it’s time for the next team to try to beat that time!

It’s a fun, silly challenge for everyone, bringing many laughs to the baby shower!

Twister has been a popular game for years, and now it’s time to add a fun twist to it - baby shower style!

Start by placing the mom-to-be in a comfortable chair beside the Twister mat. Give each guest an inflated balloon to tuck under their shirt.

Then, play the classic game of Twister with a few fun modifications. You can follow the original rules or spice things up with some of these ideas:

• Award 1 point for each successful move.
• Deduct 3 points if someone pops their balloon (or they could be out of the game).
• If one guest pops another guest’s balloon, they lose 5 points (or are out).
• Dropping a balloon costs 1 point.
• Let the mom-to-be be the judge and give bonus points for spectacular moves and poses.

Remember to keep the game lighthearted and fun. It’s an excellent choice for an energetic crowd, but be mindful of the guests. If you’re unsure about the group, skip this one, especially if some guests prefer a more relaxed or dressed-up vibe. The goal is to make everyone laugh and not feel uncomfortable!

Create a fun baby shower quiz all about the parents-to-be! Depending on who the baby shower is being hosted for, choose questions focused on the mom, dad, or both.

The quiz can be played in teams, where each group writes down their answers, or you can ask the questions out loud and have the guests shout their guesses. The parent-to-be, of course, will reveal the correct answers. Here are some example questions you could ask:

• What did the parent-to-be dream of becoming as a kid?
• Where did the parents-to-be meet for the first time?
• What was the first thing purchased for the baby?

Prepare for a very fun and fast-paced baby shower (or baby sprinkle) word game. Play in large groups, individually, or let the soon-to-be parent be the center of attention.

The goal is simple: to describe the word or phrase on a paper slip without using the words themselves. For example, if a slip says “Due date”, you’re not allowed to say “Due” or “Date”.

Prepare lots of words related to babies, parenthood, and pregnancy. Choose the game variant you want to play, print the required number of copies, and cut out the words into individual slips. Fold the slips so they can’t be read.

Variant 1 - The Parent Reads

The parent-to-be describes the slip, and all players try to guess the phrase. The player with the most correct guesses wins.

Variant 2 - Timed Pair Competition

Divide the guests into pairs and evenly divide the paper slips into bowls. Set a timer for 5 minutes. All teams play at the same time. The teams take turns describing the words to their partner without saying the words themselves.

The pairs get a point for each correct guess and lose a point each time the reader accidentally says a word written on the slip. Tracking the score is easy: put the correctly guessed slips in a “plus pile,” and the ones read aloud in a “minus pile.” The pair with the most points when the time runs out wins!

Variant 3 - Team Bowl Relay

Divide the players into two teams, each with an equal number of slips in their bowls. Place the bowls a few steps away from their teams.

When the game starts, the players take turns running to their bowl, reading a slip, and trying to describe the phrase without saying the words themselves. Once the teammates correctly guess the phrase, the slip is removed from the bowl, and it’s the next person’s turn. If a word written on the slip is said aloud, they fold it back up, put it back in the bowl, run three laps around it, and then it’s the next person’s turn.

The first team to empty their bowl wins.

Word suggestions:

This fun and quick baby shower game adds friendly competition without taking too much time. First, decide if you’d like to play in teams or individually.

The game has three variants; you can play one or all three. If you opt for all three, tally up the points at the end.

It’s a fun and easy game that requires almost no preparation at all!

Variant 1

The mom-to-be picks a letter from the alphabet. Contestants have one minute to write as many names as possible that begin with that letter. Each valid name earns one point.

Variant 2

The mom-to-be picks two letters from the alphabet that the name must include.

Variant 3

Give contestants one minute to write down as many names as possible. Each valid name gets one point.

Variant 4

Participants have one minute to come up with names of varying lengths, such as Ed, Ted, Zoey, and Sarah. The team or participant who lists the most names wins, earning one point for each length they cover.

This fun baby shower game challenges guests to fill in the blanks of a text, trying to match the answers the mom-to-be or dad-to-be wrote.

Note: If the baby shower is a surprise, the mom-to-be or dad-to-be might not have had the chance to help you prepare. No worries! They can fill it out at the start of the party or while the guests are playing.

To begin, explain that the guests will fill in the blanks of a text - the same one the parent-to-be completed beforehand. Hand out a paper and pen to each guest. The goal is to match their answers closely to what the parent-to-be wrote.

Once everyone has finished, go through the blanks one by one. Award one point for each blank space that matches the parent-to-be’s answer. The guest with the most points at the end wins!

You can use the example text below or customize it to suit the parent-to-be’s personality and the baby shower’s vibe.

I think you will look like_____________ and that your favorite activity will be_____________.

I look forward to __________________ and have already bought___________.

I can’t wait to show you______________ and teach you how to____________.

I think our life together will be_____________.

Looking for a fun and fast-paced baby shower game? This one is perfect for teams of 2-3 people!

Each round, read a baby- or pregnancy-related keyword aloud. Teams take turns and have 15 seconds to respond with a word or short phrase that includes the keyword. For example, if the keyword is “hat,” answers like “hatch” or “top hat” are valid.

If a team can’t answer within their time limit, they’re out for the round. The round continues until only one team is left, and that team earns a point. Teams may need to answer multiple times as the round goes on!

To keep things fair, teams can’t reuse or slightly change answers from the same round. For example, if one team says “baby bottle,” another team can’t say “baby bottles.” However, answers like “baby crib” after “baby stroller” are fine since they only reuse the keyword.

Start a new round with a fresh keyword, and all teams can rejoin the fun!

Keyword Suggestions

• Mother (motherhood, grandmother, stepmother, smother, mother-ship)

• Baby (crybaby, babysitting, baby crib)

• Birth (childbirth, birthday, birthname)

• Skin (asking, skinny, masking)

• New (newbie, renew, New York, pinewood)

• Life (lifestyle, life-giving, lifehack, proliferate)
