Take a mint ~ This is a fun baby shower game idea! As guests come through the door offer them some mints (or any small candy in a bowl.) After everyone has arrived, go around the room and have each person tell an interesting fact (or facts) about themselves. How ever many mints they have taken is the amount of interesting facts they have to divulge. (I took a large handful at the last shower I attended, and found out that I'm not really as interesting as I thought! Oh well.)

Don't Say Baby ~ Hand each guest a diaper pin when they arrive and have them pin it to themselves. The rules are that no one is allowed to say the word "baby." If a guest catches another guest saying "baby", they get to take their diaper pin. The person with the most pins at the end is the winner.
Note: Only run this game for a half-an-hour or so, it can take over the whole shower if you let it go on for too long.

Name Tag Game ~ Have nametags for each guest with baby related items printed on them instead of their names. Diaper, baby food, formula... are a few examples. During the shower everyone must call each guest by their "new name." If a guest is caught caught calling someone by their real name, they must put some money (nickels, dimes, dollars, whatever they have) in a basket or piggy bank which will be given to the baby. This is pretty fun! Guests are walking around saying things like: Hey "baby wipes" how are your kids?

Guess the Baby ~ This is one that won't actually end until the baby is born. Have guests write down the date and time that they think the baby will be born (and gender if not yet known.) Send the person with the closest guess a gift after the baby has been born.

Floating Duckies ~ Have a tub full of little rubber duckies floating in water (one per person attending the shower.) Number the bottom of each little ducky. When guests arrive have them draw from a bowl full of numbers that you have prepared. Throughout the shower (every 15-25 minutes or so) pull out a ducky and call out the number. The person with the matching number gets a prize.

Baby Under Your Chair ~ A classic baby shower game idea! Tape the word baby under a chair. The guest who finds this under her chair wins a prize. (Can also tape it under a plate or cup)

Left Right Game ~ This game is a pretty popular baby shower game idea (I keep getting requests for it.)

Have guests sit in a circle and hand one of the guests a wrapped present. Don't let her open it yet. Begin telling the following story (each time you say the word LEFT they have to pass it to the person on their left. Each time you say RIGHT pass it to the right.) The guest left holding the gift at the end of the story is the winner!
Mrs. Right was on her way to a baby shower. She accidentally took a Right instead of a Left and got lost. Mrs. Right Left her house at 12:45 and arrived Right on time at 1:00. But Mrs. Right Left her gift at home! She was not in her Right mind today. Mrs. Right left the shower and went back home. The gift was on the table, Right where she had Left it! Mrs. Right Left her house and went Right back to the shower. When she arrived there wasn't any food Left! Mrs. Right was so hungry that she Left the shower, got Right back into her car and drove to the Right Left Right Doo-Wop Diner!Mrs. Right ordered the Sunday Special and ate it Right up until there was nothing Left! Printable version of the Left Right Game

Nursery Rhyme Game ~ Each guest is assigned a nursery rhyme charactér's name at the start of the shower and are given a name tag with that name. Throughout the shower each person is to be addressed by that name rather than their real name in conversation and at all times. If a person calls you by your real name, that person will have to recite your character's nursery rhyme. haha fun! ~ Submitted by Charla

Don't Cross Your Legs ~ Give each guest a clothes pin when they enter. Anytime somebody crosses their legs the first person who catches them gets the clothes pin. Person with the most clothes pins at the end wins. The game ends at a designated time, or after one person has all the clothes pins.

Safety Pin in Rice Game ~ Fill a small bowl 3/4 full with dry rice. Add small safety pins to the mix. Blindfold each guest and give them the chance to remove as many safety pins as possible in one minute. The guest who finds the most pins wins the game. This baby shower game idea is actually pretty hard to do since the pins and the rice feel the same. Make sure to return all the pins into the bowl before each guest starts. Then everyone gets a fair chance at winning! Preparation: small bowl, small safety pins, blindfold, paper and pen to record guest results.

Baby Shower Bingo ~ For this baby shower game idea, make up a blank bingo card on 8 1/2 X 11 paper and made copies. Each card has five columns and five rows. The boxes need to be large enough so the guests can write in them. Then on another sheet of paper come up with 100 baby related items. Before you play you need to have each guest fill in their blank spaces with any of the words on the list of 100 in any order. Then, without telling the guests ahead of time, have them play bingo while the mother to be opens her gifts. Every time that she opens one of the gifts the guests mark off that gift on their bingo card. The first to bingo either up and down, across or diagonally wins. Have them yell out "Baby" if they win! There will probably be a few winners, so this is a multiple prize game. Printable version of Baby Shower Bingo

Baby Shower Bead Unscramble ~ Find some small beads with letters on them (craft stores have them.) Come up witha baby word such as diaper. Buy enough lettered beads for each team (group of 2-3 guests) to spell the word diaper. Have guests pair up and hand each team a baggy with the lettered beads in it. The first team to unscramble the beads andcome up with the word is the winner.

Unwrapping Game ~ For this baby shower game idea, set a timer to go off every five to ten minutes as the mom-to-be is opening her gifts.The guest whose present is being opened at the time the buzzer sounds, gets a small prize. Easy and fun!

Baby Shower Word Scramble ~ Come up with 20 baby related words (diaper, blanket, crib, bottle, etc.)and mix up the letters. Make copies so each guest gets a copy. Have guests unscramble the words. The guest(s) withthe most correct wins. If you have more than one winner (which is likely), you can have them pick a number between 1-20and the closest person to your number wins. Or you can reward all of the winners with prizes!

Count the Jelly Bellies ~ This is a simple baby shower game idea! Buy a regular sized baby bottle and fill it with pastel colored jelly bellies. Make sure to count them as you are putting them in. Have each baby shower guest write down how many jelly bellies they think are in the bottle. The guest that comes the closest wins.

What's in a Purse? ~ First have the mother-to-be make a list of about 8 random items (spoon, utility bill, gum, etc.) Things normally not found in a purse. (You would be suprised what some women have in their purse.) The first person who shouts out I've got that, wins! You have a winner for each item. Printable version of Things in Mommy's Purse

Dirty Diaper Game ~ Great for couples showers too! Using a Sharpie pen, number 6-8 disposable diapers. Melt or smash different kinds of candy (M&M's, Snickers,Baby Ruth, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups) into each diaper. Give each guest a piece of paper numbered 1-8 (or however many diapers you are using.) Pass the diapers with the smashed candy around the room. Each guest must examineand smell the contents of the diaper to determine what the candy it is. They then write down which candy bar they thinkis on each diaper. The guest with the most right wins a prize. Have your camera ready for this game, you will get somepriceless pictures!

String Around the Belly ~ Pass around a big ball of yarn and some scissors. Have each guest cut off how much string they think would fit around the mother-to-be's belly. Measure each guests' string by placingit around the mother's belly. The baby shower guest who comes the closest wins!

Pass the Package ~ This is really fun! Take an item (such as a candle, picture frame, dish cloths, etc)and place it in a box. Gift wrap the box with several layers of giftwrap. Play some music while passing thepresent around, when the music stops the guest with the gift in her hand starts to unwrap it. Then the music startsagain and the box is passed, keep doing this until someone finally unwraps the last layer...this person is the winner.

Tray Game Variation ~ This baby shower game idea is similar to the classic "Baby items on a tray memory game", only with a fun twist!Have the person go around the room with baby items on it as planned, but instead of asking questions about the itemson the tray ask the questions about how the person carrying the tray is dressed! FYI - Havethe person carrying the tray leave the room before asking questions about them.

Guess the Baby Food ~ Have 10 or so baby food jars. Remove each label from the jars & number eachjar lid 1-10. On a poster board tape the labels from the jars, have the guest try to match them with the right babyfood by writing their answers down on paper. Just make sure you write the correct answer down so you can check themonce everyone is done. This baby shower game idea is fun, kind of gross, and pretty hard!

The Candy Bar Game ~ This is one of my favorite baby shower game ideas! Buy the following candy bars and tape them to a large piece of poster board. Hand out paper and a pen to each guest. Begin reading off each clue and have guests write down which candy bar goes with each clue. The guest with the mostcorrect wins a prize, or a candy bar! If more than one person wins, have them each pick their favorite candy bar.

Watermelon Babies ~ Have enough small seedless watermelons (one for each guest) and tons of feetie-pajamas, and push pins. Each guest draws the cutest (or ugliest) baby face on the water melon with colored sharpies. The mommy-to-be is the judge of who the cutest, or most unique baby is. Mommy-to-be gets all the pj's and everyone gets a yummy watermelon! ~ thanks to Rachael for submitting this great baby shower game idea!
