Throwing a baby shower and looking for the best baby shower games? You’re in the right place.

Planning a baby shower is always so much fun, and one of my favorite parts of the shower is choosing the games and activities.

For a baby shower, I always find it best to find games that are both sentimental, fun, and lighthearted. While the baby shower theme, decorations, and food set the scene, it’s the baby shower games that really bring the energy and help guests connect.

I’ve included everything from icebreakers to hilarious competitions. These baby shower games are perfect for all kinds of showers. So whether you’re hosting something more traditional, modern, co-ed, or even virtual…you’ll find unique baby shower games that are a huge hit!

21 Fun & Unique Baby Shower Games

Below, you’ll find our favorite baby shower games and activities with easy instructions, fun twists, and tips for making the whole shower unforgettable (in the best way!). Whether you’re the mom-to-be, the future Auntie, best friend, or just helping plan, this list has everything you need.

1. Baby Shower Bingo

Hand out bingo cards filled with baby items (like bottles, pacifiers, strollers). You can order these baby bingo cards all ready to go, or create your own. Baby bingo is a great way to keep gift opening fun and interactive.

While the mom-to-be is opening up her presents, each of the guests marks off the items that are on their bingo card (if they have a match). The first guest to get 5 in a row shouts “Bingo!” and wins. It’s fun and interactive. One of my favorite things about bingo is that it keeps everyone engaged during gift opening and adds excitement to the parts of the shower that can be a little long or slow at times.

2. Don’t Say “Baby”

At the start of the party, give each guest a clothespin. Explain the rules for “Don’t Say “Baby””. If someone hears another guest say “baby,” they get to steal their pin. The person who ends up with the most pins at the end of the shower wins. This one’s always a hit and a great way to get guests laughing and connecting.

3. How Big Is Mommy’s Belly (Measure The Baby Bump)

Guests try to guess the size of the mom-to-be’s belly using a string or ribbon. Each person cuts the length they think will wrap perfectly around the widest section of the baby bump. When everyone’s done, measure the guesses against the real belly size. The closest measurement wins! This game is always a crowd favorite because it’s sweet, funny, and gets everyone talking.

4. Diaper Raffle

If you choose to do a diaper raffle, you’ll need to include these instructions on the baby shower invitation. Simply encourage guests on the invite to bring a pack of diapers for a raffle ticket (guests will receive one raffle ticket for each pack of diapers. During the shower, draw names for small raffle prizes. It’s simple, fun, and helps stock up the parents-to-be with diaper essentials.

5. Guess How Many Candies

Fill a baby bottle, jar, or clear container with small candies like M&Ms, jellybeans, or Skittles. Have a Guess How Many Candies Are In The Jar sign and cards. Have your guests write down their best guess of how many candies are inside on a little card. The person who comes closest wins both the game and the candy-filled jar.

6. Guess the Baby Food

For this Guess The Baby Food activity, buy jars of baby food, remove the labels, and number them. Guests taste each one and write down their guesses. Expect lots of funny faces as people try to tell the difference between “peas” and “green beans.” This is a very entertaining and interactive game!

7. Diaper Pong

Line up clean diapers as “cups” and attach them to a board for diaper pong. Give players ping pong balls to toss. Guests take turns trying to land the balls in the diapers. Each diaper is labeled with a different number. Whoever scores the most points wins!

8. Who’s That Baby?

This is always a sweet game to play. On the invitation, ask guests to bring a baby photo of themselves. When they arrive at the shower, take all of the photos and display them on a board, and have everyone guess who’s who.

9. Paint Blocks for Baby

Provide wooden baby blocks, non-toxic paints, or markers, and let guests decorate their own block for the baby’s toy collection. This activity doubles as a game and a keepsake, leaving the parents-to-be with a colorful set of handmade blocks to treasure.

10. The Price Is Right: Baby Edition

Display everyday baby items (wipes, formula, onesies). Guests guess the cost of each. The guest with the most accurate total wins. It’s practical and funny when people overestimate or majorly underestimate the cost of a pack of diapers!

11. Baby Predictions

Hand out prediction cards where guests guess the baby’s due date, gender, weight, length, eye color, and hair color. Collect them and give a prize to whoever is closest after the baby arrives.

12. Late Night Diapers

For this Late Night Diapers activity, set out plain diapers with markers and invite guests to write funny, sweet, or encouraging messages on them. Later, when the parents are up at 2 a.m. changing diapers, they’ll get a laugh or a boost of encouragement. I’ve always been a huge fan of this activity…it’s creative, simple, and a great way to give the parents something to look forward to in the middle of the night!

13. My Water Broke

This My Water Broke Game is always a blast! Before the shower, freeze tiny plastic babies inside ice cubes. Hand out one cube to each guest in their drink. The goal is to be the first to get the baby “free” from the ice. When the baby breaks free from the ice, guests shout, “My water broke!”.

14. What’s in Your Purse?

To play “What’s In Your Purse?”, create a points list of common (and unusual) purse items such as…lip gloss, hand sanitizer, snacks, and even baby wipes. Set a number of points for each item. Guests earn points based on what they can pull out of their bags. The guest who has the most points wins.

15. Pacifier Hunt

Hide plastic pacifiers for the Pacifier Hunt around the venue before the baby shower begins. Announce the hunt and let guests search. Whoever finds the most wins. This is great for keeping kids at the shower entertained too.

16. Baby Name Race

For this “Baby Name Race”, Set a timer and ask guests to write down as many baby names as possible that start with a given letter. The guest with the longest list wins. This is a fast-paced game, and it’s easy to organize.

17. Guess the Due Date

Display a large calendar of the baby’s due month for “Guess The Due Date”. Guests write their names on the date they think the baby will arrive. The winner gets a prize once the baby is born.

18. What’s in the Diaper Bag?

Fill a diaper bag with random items (some baby-related, some not). Guests reach into the diaper bag blindfolded and try to guess what they’re touching. The guest who gets the most items correct wins.

19. Baby Shower Trivia Quiz

Prepare a list of trivia questions about pregnancy, parenting, or baby facts for “Baby Shower Trivia”. These are fun and educational questions! The guest who gets the most correct answers wins a prize.

20. Design a Onesie

This “Design A Onsie” baby shower activity is always a favorite! Provide plain white onesies or bibs, fabric markers, and stencils. Guests decorate their own creation for the baby. Mom-to-be picks her favorite as the winner. Plus, she gets to keep the custom outfits!

21. Baby Charades

For this baby shower charades game, write baby-related actions or items such as feeding, burping, changing a diaper, etc, on slips of paper. Guests act them out while others guess. This game always brings a lot of laughter to the baby shower!
