Selecting fun baby shower games not only keeps the spirit lively but also makes each gathering memorable. With an array of games available, hosts can find the perfect fit to create a joyful atmosphere for all attendees.


Games to Play At a Baby Shower

Diaper Candy Bar Challenge


Changing diapers can be a messy task, so why not turn it into a fun game? For this activity, participants will guess which candy bar is melted inside a diaper. You’ll need to buy a few newborn size diapers and several different types of candy bars. Melt each candy bar and smear it inside a diaper, making sure to keep track of which candy is in which diaper. Guests then take turns sniffing the “dirty” diapers to guess the candy inside. The player with the most accurate guesses wins a prize!


Purse Item Hunt


In this entertaining game, guests will search through their purses for specific items. Before the shower, prepare cards listing various common purse items, assigning point values to each. At the event, distribute the cards and pens so guests can mark off items they have. After everyone has checked their bags, have them tally their points. The guest with the highest total is declared the winner!


Baby Item Price Guess


This game is based on the popular TV show, The Price is Right. Gather around 10 to 12 baby-related items and write their prices on note cards. Each guest will guess the price of each item without going over. The person closest to the actual price without exceeding it wins the round. Plus, the mom-to-be gets to keep all the items after the game!


Famous Babies Trivia


For a fun twist, create a trivia game based on celebrity babies. Print out photos of well-known kids and display them for everyone to see. Guests will have to guess who each famous baby belongs to. The one with the most correct answers will win a prize!

Charades: Baby Edition


Charades is always a hit, and adding a baby theme makes it even better. Players can act out baby-related terms or phrases, such as “diaper change” or “crying baby.” Split everyone into teams and watch the laughter unfold as participants try to convey the terms without speaking!


Big Belly Twister


This hilarious game adds an exciting spin to the classic Twister. Guests will inflate balloons and tuck them under their shirts to create “big bellies.” Then, players will take turns on the Twister mat. If a balloon pops or escapes, that player is out of the game. The last person standing with their balloon intact wins!

Ice Baby Discovery


Prepare for some icy fun! The evening before the shower, place small plastic babies in an ice tray and freeze them. At the event, everyone will get an ice cube with a surprise baby inside it. As the ice melts, guests will wait to shout, "I have a baby!" The first person to melt their ice wins.


Yarn Guessing Game


This simple yet enjoyable game involves guessing the length of yarn needed to go around the belly of the mom-to-be. Pass around a spool of yarn and scissors for everyone to cut their guesses. Once everyone has measured their yarn, the closest estimate wins a prize, and everyone gets a good laugh!


Baby Bottle Sprint


In this game, guests will race to drink from baby bottles filled with their choice of juice or water. The aim is to see who can finish first! It’s a lighthearted competition that always entertains guests as they chug their drinks to win.


"Baby" Song Challenge


Play a game that combines music and baby themes. Create a list of popular songs that include the word "baby" in the title. As the music plays, participants must guess the song title or artist. This fun activity can be a great way to include songs from childhood or popular music today.


Sweet, twirl-worthy moments start with our adorable Girl Bubble outfits, crafted for comfort and charm.


Wishes for the Baby


Create a memorable keepsake for the family by having each guest write a note with their hopes and dreams for the baby. Provide cards and pens and let everyone’s creativity shine. This heartfelt activity will make a wonderful addition to the baby’s memory box.


Guess Mom’s Age


In this playful game, guests will guess how old the mom-to-be was during various milestones in her life, such as her first birthday or when she started school. This can lead to amusing stories and a fun way to share memories while getting to know each other better.


DIY Teething Rings


Provide materials for creating teething rings. Guests can use colorful beads and safe string to craft a teething ring that is perfect for the baby. This hands-on activity not only promotes creativity but also ensures that each guest leaves with a special gift for the little one.


Now you have a great list of fun baby shower games to play at the next baby shower you host!
