Browse 10 popular baby shower games with full instructions, host tips, and supplies lists. Select the games you want, then copy or print your party plan.
Every guest gets a clothespin (or sticker) when they arrive. No one is allowed to say the word 'baby' for the entire party. If you catch someone saying it, you steal their pin. The person with the most pins at the end wins.
Gather 10 common baby items (or photos with prices hidden). Guests write down what they think each item costs. Closest guess without going over wins that round. Tallied at the end.
Guests fill out their own bingo cards with baby gift predictions before the shower. As gifts are opened, they mark off correct predictions. First person to get bingo wins.
Guests submit a baby photo of themselves before the party. Photos are numbered and displayed. Everyone guesses which baby photo matches which guest. Most correct answers wins.
Play the first 5–10 seconds of a song with 'baby' in the title or lyrics. Guests race to write down the song name and artist. Most correct answers wins.
Guests who bring a pack of diapers earn raffle ticket entries. At the end of the shower, draw a ticket to win a prize. The mom gets a diaper stockpile — everyone wins.
Guests estimate the circumference of the mom-to-be's belly by cutting a piece of yarn they think will fit exactly around her waist. The closest guess wins.
Guests decode strings of emojis that represent well-known baby items, children's movies, nursery rhymes, or baby phrases. Most correct answers wins.
Guests write wishes, hopes, or advice for the new baby (or new parents) on cards. Collected and given to the parents as a keepsake. Not a competition — a memory.
Guests guess the exact date the baby will arrive. Closest to the actual birth date wins a prize — which can be awarded after the baby comes!
