Baby Shower Game Ideas to take your baby shower to a whole new level of fun!

We have 100's of exciting Baby Shower Game Ideas to take your baby shower to a whole new level of fun!

Games are not required, but they are a great way to make guests feel comfortable and start to mingle! These games range from low-key and subtle to crazy and loud!

Ice Breaker Games

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.)

The picture below showcases some amazing and unique baby shower games! You can print these directly from your home computer! Visit our printable baby shower site to access them...

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 name tags 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 thedate and time that they think the baby will be born (and gender if not yet known.) Send the person with the closest guessa gift after the baby has been born.

Floating Duckies ~ This is a fun baby shower game idea that people on the shy or reserved side tend to enjoy because it doesn't involve the guests having to do anything. 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 numbergets 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)

Baby Shower Game Ideas

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 (note: the story on the printable version is different than this example)

Baby Shower Bingo ~ For this baby shower game idea, make up a blank bingo card on 8 1/2 X 11 paper and add 25-30 words to the bottom of each card. Make enough copies for each guest.

Each card has five columns and five rows. The boxes need to be large enough so the guests can write in them. Have each guest randomly fill in their bingo card. Have a list of the 25-30 words you supplied the guests and start calling them off one by one. The first guest to get 5 in a row across or diagonally, is the winner! Printable version of Baby Shower Bingo

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! Printable version of Baby Shower Word Scramble

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.

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!

2. If someone wears a dress of blue, she must take this gift from you. If blue cannot be seen, it goes to the one wearing green.

3. I will now read another verse...please pass it to the gal with the largest purse.

5. Wow! What a success! Pass it to the guest with the most buttons on her dress.

6. Alas, this gift is not for you. It now goes to the one with the largest shoe.

7. Let's get this party started girls..pass it to the one with the cutest curls.

8. Mommy is anxious. Daddy is nervous. Now pass this to the lady who drove the furthest.

9. There won't be time to practice, there won't be time to rehearse. Pass this centerpiece to the gal with the most money in her purse!

10. We hope you all are having fun. We have tried to include most everyone. From the largest purse to the largest shoe, pass this gift to the right of you.
