Baby Shower Game Ideas

Here are a few baby shower game ideas that I have picked up from baby showers I have given and attended over the years. Some of these shower game ideas and activities are my favorites.

Baby Picture Match Game

In advance, ask all the guests for pictures of themselves as babies. Assemble the photos on a board and assign each a number. At some point during the shower, pass out sheets of paper to the guests so they can match each baby to the appropriate grown-up. If the guests don't know each other well, name tags can help the process. The person who gets the most correct answers wins. This baby shower game idea can be hysterically funny.

The Price is Right Game

Buy 10 to 12 baby Items. Buy small cards with envelopes (a florist department or grocery store should have these). Write the price of the item on the card and on the envelope write the item name, then seal envelopes. Play it like the show - "the price is right." The one that collects the most price cards without going over the amount wins. The mom gets to take home all the baby items.

How Far Around?

Take a spool of curly ribbon or yarn and have each guest cut off how much they think will go around the pregnant tummy. Then wrap one around the Mom. The one closest to the "real" one, wins!

Word of the Day

The object of the games is to avoid saying the word 'baby". Everyone gets a clothespin or safety pin when they arrive, and if someone catches you saying 'baby,' she gets your pin. The person with the most pins at the end of the party wins a prize. This baby shower game idea is great for the large group baby shower.

Diaper Stacking

Have guests compete to see who can stack diapers the highest without them toppling. Give the diapers to the mom-to-be. This is one of the most fun and practical baby shower game ideas.

The Memory Game

Fill a tray with baby items... a diaper, pacifier, diaper rash ointment, rattle, booties, diaper pins, thermometer, bib, bottle, nail clippers, baby brush, rubber ducky... whatever you can think of. The hostess walks around the room, letting everyone get a good look at the tray. After she takes the tray out of the room, the guests have to write down as may items as they can remember. (The "Mom" then gets to keep everything on the tray!)

Diaper Derby

This is one of the most hilarious of the baby shower game ideas. To play, you'll need a four-roll pack of toilet paper. At the shower, divide your guests into four teams. Give each team one roll of paper. Using only that, each group should dress one of their team members in a diaper. They can't use pins, staples, or anything else to hold it together. The mom-to-be picks the best-diapered baby, and the whole team wins small prizes. You'll be amazed at your friends' creativity!

Guess the Number of Jelly Beans in the Baby Bottle Game

Fill a baby bottle with little jelly beans (or any small candies). (or other small candy). Show the attendees the baby bottle and have them guess how many beans are in the baby bottle. If the mom has a favorite candy, use it to fill the bottle.

Baby Hot Potato

Played the same as the traditional hot potato game, only using a baby doll or stuffed animal as the potato. Start a timer and have guests pass the baby around the circle, and whom ever is holding the baby when the timer sounds is out. Last person in the game wins.

Whatever baby shower game ideas you decide to play, combine the fun of the games and the decorations and you will have a successful and fun baby shower.
