If you’re hosting a shower for a soon-to-be-mom, baby shower games are a must. Guests LOVE to play games and win cute prizes. Here are the best baby shower games to make your event super memorable.
Hosting a baby shower is a huge honor and responsibility. The pressure is on to make it both beautiful and fun for the mommy-to-be and all of her guests. Once you start checking off your to-do list of deciding on a caterer, dessert options, decorations, guest list, etc., you’ll need to figure out how to keep your guests entertained so the party never feels long or stale. This is why it is SO important to have games prepared. I’ve attended baby showers with games and others without them and let me tell you…the ones that don’t have games are usually on the boring side.
Guests love getting competitive and sharing lots of giggles, especially when there is a prize involved! This post is specifically designed to make selecting games easy and affordable for you. With everything else you have on your plate, you don’t need to make the game portion of the party difficult.
In this list you’ll find trivia, guessing games, interactive games, brainteasers, and more. Some of the biggest hits at baby shower parties have been “Who Is The Baby’s Daddy?”, “The Price is Right”, “Guess How Many Kises Are In The Jar” and “My Water Broke”.
As the host, you need to enjoy the party just as much as everyone else! So enjoy selecting a few of these quick and easy games that will have the entire party laughing and having a great time.
Top Baby Shower Games
1. Baby Bingo
Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve loved playing Bingo ever since I was a kid. This set comes with 50 pre-filled cards and is the perfect game to play since you’ll likely have guests of all ages, making it an instant crowd-pleaser.
2. Who Is The Baby’s Daddy?
This game is hilarious and guests will be laughing so hard after revealing who the “baby’s daddy” is on their card. You’ll love this one because it’s unique and different from the baby shower games you typically play at showers.
3. Guess Who? Mommy or Daddy
These cards come in pink or blue if the baby’s gender has already been revealed or white or brown for a more neutral tone. These cards include 14 questions and whoever has the most points at the end wins.
4. Baby Trivia
These beautifully decorated cards come in a pack of 25 and include 12 multiple-choice questions. Whichever guest has the highest score wins a prize.
5. How Big Is The Baby Bump?
Such a classic! The measuring tape is easy to tear and comes in a variety of color choices depending on the baby’s gender or the theme of the party. Guests will love walking up to the mommy and seeing if their guess is the winner.
6. Where’s My Pacifier?
Pin the pacifier on the baby is a silly game to get your guests up and moving a bit. Players write their name on a pacifier sticker and try to stick it on the baby’s mouth while blindfolded. This game can easily get competitive.

Everyone loves this game because if you win, you get chocolate! This baby shower game set comes with 1 sign, 504 stickers to place on the bottom of the kisses, and 50 guessing cards. The candy and jar are not included.

9. Guess How Many Cards
If you’d prefer to create your own guessing game, these cards are perfect because they will match any theme.

11. The Price is Right
I’ve always LOVED playing this game at baby showers. It’s the perfect amount of stress and fun because your guests will be at the edge of their seats every time a price for an item is said. When all of the item’s prices are revealed, the guest with the closest overall dollar amount wins.
12. Name The Baby Animals
This is easily one of the most difficult games ever played at showers. Guests will be shocked at how little they know about what baby animals are called making this game all the more fun while sipping on mimosas.

See which guest knows the mommy-to-be the best! This baby shower game is a fun spin-off of the bridal version. Each set comes with 30 cards.
14. Pregnancy Candy Match

If you’re looking for a more challenging game for your guests, this word scramble is perfect. You can set a timer and whoever has unlocked the most words in that amount of time wins!

A game of fate. This game set includes 3 winner cards and 35 loser cards. Whoever reveals a poo emoji wins a prize.
