Best Baby Shower Activities and Games

A baby shower is a wonderful way for friends and family to celebrate the soon-to-be parents and their bundle of joy by showering them with love, gifts, and good wishes. And, love them or hate them, no baby shower is complete without baby shower games!

While guests will always grin and bear it, you can still hear a muffled groan or two from those who can’t stand shower games. We’re here to make those groans disappear! There are so many ways to make baby showers exciting! Take a look at our lists of games and activities that will not make your guests cringe.

5. Continue until someone gets a complete horizontal, vertical, or diagonal and shouts the word “BINGO!”

Nursery Rhyme Game

How to play:

1. Each guest pins 5 clothespins to themselves.q

Baby Babble Word Scramble

Find out which guest is fluent in baby babble! Make a list of words that are related to babies and scramble them. The first person to unscramble all the baby babble words wins!

Onesie Decorating

This is a great game for first-time parents because not only will it be a fun activity for guests, but the decorated onesies can be used by the baby later. All you need are plain white onesies along with fabric markers or paint. Providing stencils or stamps can also make for faster decoration!

Baby Price is Right

Bob Barker isn't the only one who can set the stage for big wins! Buy 10 to 12 baby items you think the parents-to-be will need. Use blank note cards to write the price of each item on one side and the item itself on the other. Gather guests together and play it just like the TV show: each guest must guess the price of the items on the cards, and the person with the highest total, without going over, wins. Best of all, the parents-to-be get to keep the handy baby items used for the game.
