10 Baby Shower Game Ideas

Planning a baby shower? So, I’m sharing tips on baby shower game ideas that I have used when hosting baby showers.  We know how stressful and time consuming it can be to put a baby shower together.   You want it to be perfect, but time is not always on your side. The baby showers were all successful, and the guests had a blast playing the games.

Here’s a few baby shower game ideas:

For the Ice Breaker –  First, have each guest tell everyone how they know the Mommy To Be. This loosens everyone up so you can start the festivities.

My Water Broke –  Second, place a miniature baby, party favor, in each section of the ice tray and fill with water. The cube will contain the party favor when it freezes. Place an ice cube in a paper cup and give to each guest.  Each guest must watch the ice cube and when it’s fully melts yell “My Water Broke.”  Be sure to give each guest their ice cube at the same time.  During the ice breaker above would be a good time.

 What Mom Needs – Give each guest a note pad and pencil.  Have each guest write down  a list of baby items Mom and Dad will need.  Give guests 5 minutes to complete.  The guest with the most items listed wins a door prize.

 

 


 

 

Place 5 – 10 Baby Items in a Gift Bag –   Additionally, allow each guest to look into the bag for 5 – 10 seconds.  Have each guest write down the items that were in the bag.  The guest who has the most correct items wins. (Gift bag goes to Mommy To Be).


TIC-TAC-TOE
– Have each guest make a grid for tic-tac-toe and list baby items on the grid.  The host will call out a list of baby items prepared in advance.  The guests who has 3 in a row must call out “Baby Tic-Tac-Toe” to win a door  prize.

The Paper Bag –  Place several baby item in a sealed brown paper bag. Pass the bag to each guest and allow them to feel the bag for a 5 seconds. Ask guests to write down what’s in the bag.  The guest with the correct number of items wins.  (Goodies go to Mom To Be).

Drink Up – Place punch in several baby bottles.  (Purchase nursers from the dollar store for this game).  Gave a bottle to participating guests.  The winner is the guest who finishes drinking the punch first.  Not as easy as it looks!  Fun game


 

Baby Shower Bingo – Next, I purchased this game for my daughter’s baby shower. It is a fun game. Check on-line for printable Bingo cards and make your own game or purchase these ready made Baby Shower Bingo cards.  Use pennies for the markers.

 

Taste Test – Purchase 3 jars of baby food and remove the labels.  Give each jar a distinctive mark so you will know what they are.  I marked my on the bottom with a permanent marker.  Have each guest taste the baby food. The guest who has the most correct answers wins.

Scratch Offs –  Also, I purchased baby shower scratch offs for my daughter’s baby shower, and the guests really enjoyed them. You can order these on-line. The guest with the word “Winner” gets the 63

.

 

Place Q-tips In A Jar – Last, the guest who is closest to the number or who comes up with the number wins.
