10 Popular Baby Shower Games

Baby Shower Bingo

How to Play Baby Shower Bingo:
Print off baby bingo cards and cut them out. Print off one extra game card for your master copy. With scissors, cut up your master copy into the individual squares – each square with one word on it. Put these squares into a hat (or diaper bag) and draw them out one at a time during the game. Read the word on your square when you pull it out. Give your guests time to find the word on their card and place a game piece over the word. Then you draw out another square and read that word aloud, as before. This continues until someone fills in a row (vertically, horizontally or diagonally) and yells “BINGO!”.
Guess the birth date or guess the sex.

How to play:
Hand out forms to baby shower attendees with areas to guess baby’s sex, weight, date and time of birth. Collect forms from the guests and save until after the baby is born. After the birth, check to see who got the closest. Mail prizes to the winners. Guests place bets on baby’s sex, weight, and date and time of birth. The person who guesses the closest to the actual stats wins. Your ‘bets’ can be a made up silly denomination – baby bucks or a similar name.
Mummy’s Tummy

How to Play:
Guests cut pieces of ribbon, yarn, or toilet paper to a length they believe matches the mother-to-be’s tummy circumference. Another similar game is tying a string around her abdomen, and if it breaks for one person, it’s expected she or he’s the next new parent.
Guess the baby food flavour.

How to Play:
Guests have to taste-test several flavours of baby food and try to identify them.
Bottle Race

How to Play:
Have each participant take a bottle filled with a liquid and suck the bottle as a baby would. The woman who drinks the most in an alloted time wins the baby shower gift. This baby shower game gets everyone laughing!
Who Knows Mom Best?

How to Play:
Talk to the Mum-to-be before the shower and come up with some questions and answers about her, eg. where she grew up, what school she went to, her favourite colour, her middle name, what she wanted to be when she grew up, etc. Provide each guest with pen and paper and read the questions out. The person who writes down the most correct answers wins. This could be an individual or a team game.
Mom’s Body

How to Play:
Give each guest a piece of paper to fold in half and place behind their back. Have the Mum-to-be stand up and show the guests her profile. Each guest then tears out the paper to match her form. When everyone is finished have them reveal their masterpieces for all to see. This is guaranteed to get some laughs. The Mum can pick her favourite one and give a prize.
Don’t Say Baby

How to Play:
On arrival give each a guest a nappy pin or clothes peg to pin to their clothes. Then tell them that for the rest of the baby shower they are not allowed to say ‘baby’. If anybody catches another guest saying “baby”, they can take their nappy pin/clothes peg and pin it to their own clothes.The person with the most nappy pins or pegs at the end of the shower, wins.
Baby Pictionary

How to Play:
Divide guests into teams and provide them with paper and a pencil. Have each team member take a turn at drawing. Show a word to the person on each team who is drawing, then say “go” and see which team can guess the answer first. Make sure the person doing the drawing doesn’t talk and writing words or characters is not allowed. Use baby related words such as baby, nappy, stroller, breastfeeding, nappy rash, baby bath, potty, nana.
Make the Baby

How to Play:
Put guests in small teams and give each team some baby magazines, scissors, glue and paper. Have them cut out pieces of different baby qualities and make up a picture of what they think the expectant Mum’s baby will look like. Have the Mother-To-Be pick which baby she likes the best!
