BABY SHOWER GAMES
Guess the Belly Size Baby Shower Game
This game is always a hit. Guests guess the size of the mom-to-be’s belly in inches or centimeters. The person who guesses closest wins a prize.
It’s super easy to set up and gets everyone talking and laughing right from the start. I played this at my cousin’s shower and some of the guesses were hilariously wrong – we were dying laughing.
Dirty Diaper Guessing Game
Smear different melted chocolate bars inside diapers and have guests guess which candy it is by smell or look. It’s gross, funny, and totally unforgettable.
This one always creates the best reactions and is one of the most talked-about games at any baby shower.
My Water Broke Ice Cubes Game
Freeze tiny plastic babies inside ice cubes and put them in people’s drinks. The first person whose ice cube melts and “water breaks” wins. It’s silly, simple, and perfect for a fun summer baby shower.
Don’t Say Baby Game
Give every guest a clothespin when they arrive. If anyone says the word “baby”, they have to give their pin to the person who caught them. Whoever has the most pins at the end wins. This game gets intense fast – I lost mine within the first 10 minutes last time!
Baby Bottle Bowling
Set up empty baby bottles as bowling pins and let guests knock them down with a small ball. Watching adults bowl with baby bottles is comedy gold. Great energy booster for the party.
Baby Bottle Drink Race
Fill baby bottles with juice or soda and race to finish drinking them using only the nipple. Adults sucking on baby bottles never fails to make everyone laugh out loud.
Diaper Pong Baby Shower Game
Just like beer pong, but you use diapers as cups and ping pong balls. Way funnier and more appropriate for a baby shower. Teams compete and the losers usually get a silly dare.
Pin the Poop on the Diaper
A hilarious twist on pin the tail. Blindfold players and try to stick a brown pom-pom “poop” onto a giant diaper poster. The missed shots are the funniest part.
Guess the Baby Food Game
Blindfold guests and let them taste different baby food jars, then guess the flavor. Some combinations are truly questionable. The faces people make are priceless.
Sock Match Baby Shower Game
Throw a big pile of mismatched baby socks on the table and see who can match the most pairs the fastest. Sounds easy until the timer starts – pure chaos and laughter.
Baby Name Race
Give everyone paper and a pen. In two minutes, write down as many baby names as possible. The person with the most unique names wins. Gets surprisingly competitive.
Pacifier Hunt
Hide a bunch of pacifiers around the room or yard. Guests race to find as many as they can. First to ten wins. Simple and keeps everyone moving.
Diaper Changing Relay Race
Teams race to change a baby doll – put on a diaper, wipe, powder, and dress it. Watching adults struggle with tiny clothes is endless entertainment.
Pass the Pacifier Game
Like hot potato but using a pacifier. Pass it around while music plays. When the music stops, you’re out. Keeps the group laughing and engaged.
Funny Message on Diaper Game
Guests write funny or sweet messages on a diaper for the new parents to read during late-night changes. Some messages are hilarious, some are heartfelt – both are perfect.
Sperm Cornhole Baby Shower Game
A cheeky adult version of cornhole using sperm-shaped bean bags. Perfect for co-ed showers who enjoy a bit of naughty humor. Gets very competitive.
Name That Poopy Diaper Game
Another funny poop guessing game. Different things in diapers and guests have to guess what it is. Not for the faint of heart but guaranteed big laughs.
Baby Shower Charades
Act out baby-related situations like changing a diaper or midnight feeding without speaking. The bad acting makes it ten times funnier.
Pin the Pacifier on the Baby
Blindfold guests and try to pin a pacifier on a baby poster. A classic game that never gets old.
Baby Bib Decorating Station
Set out plain bibs and markers so guests can decorate them with funny sayings or sweet messages. The mom-to-be gets to keep all the creative (and sometimes ridiculous) designs.
Baby Jeopardy
Jeopardy with questions all about babies, parenting, and baby products. Teams compete and it gets loud and competitive fast.
Pop the Belly Game
Blow up balloons under a big shirt and have players pop them while blindfolded. Messy, silly, and full of laughter.
Who’s Watching the Baby Game
A memory game where guests look at baby items for one minute then try to remember as many as possible. Trickier than it looks!
The Price is Right Baby Shower Game
Guess the price of different baby products. Closest without going over wins. Sparks funny debates about how expensive baby stuff really is.
Words of Advice for New Parents
Guests write their best (or funniest) parenting advice on cards. The mom-to-be reads them later. Some advice is golden, some is hilariously bad.
A Quick Checklist for Choosing the Right Baby Shower Games
If you’ve ever been to a baby shower where the games felt awkward, painfully slow, or weirdly competitive, you already know why I’m picky about this topic.
I’ve helped plan a lot of showers over the years for friends, cousins, coworkers, you name it, and the biggest lesson I learned the hard way is this: a “fun” game is not about being clever, it’s about making people feel comfortable enough to actually participate.
The reason I’m confident with baby shower games now is because I’ve seen what works in real life, with real mixed groups.
Like the shower where half the guests were super outgoing and the other half clearly wanted to sit on the couch with their drink and vibe.
Or the one where we did a game with complicated rules and it immediately turned into people whispering, “Wait, what are we doing?” and the energy just dropped. After that, I started treating games like a party tool, not a centerpiece.
Here’s what I focus on every single time so your guests stay entertained instead of mentally checking out:
- Low effort to join, high payoff to watch. The best games are fun even if you’re just watching from your seat, because not everyone wants to be “picked” in front of the room.
- Short rounds, quick wins. If a game takes longer than 5 to 7 minutes, people stop paying attention. I literally set a timer sometimes.
- No cringe factor. Anything that forces people to do baby talk, act out something uncomfortable, or overshare is usually a no. You want laughing, not secondhand embarrassment.
- Clear setup. I always write the rules on a cute sign or say them in one sentence. If you need a full explanation, it’s too complicated.
My other practical tip that makes everything smoother: set up games like little “moments” throughout the shower instead of making everyone do 10 games back to back.
I like one easy icebreaker early, one main group game while people are still fresh, and then a couple of optional station-style games people can do whenever.
That way the extroverts get their fun, and the quieter guests never feel pressured.
