30 Easy & Funny Baby Shower Games Ideas
Planning for a baby shower? You must have some baby shower games to make the celebration more fun. I have for you 30 baby shower games ideas that we had planned at my sister and co sisters baby shower parties. These easy baby shower games and funny baby shower games that are hilarious. These are unique baby shower games and good neutral baby shower ideas.
Classic Baby Shower Games
Baby Bingo
This game was a hit at my sister’s baby shower! Before she started opening gifts, we handed out bingo cards with common baby shower gifts written on them—things like diapers, baby clothes, bottles, and blankets. As she unwrapped each present, guests marked off the matching item on their cards. The first person to get five in a row shouted “Bingo!” and won a small prize. It kept everyone engaged while she opened gifts, and people got really competitive, hoping she’d open the right thing next!
Guess the Baby Food
This one had everyone laughing! We bought several jars of baby food in different flavors—sweet potato, apple, peas, and even a weird one like turkey and gravy. Then, we took off the labels, and guests had to taste a spoonful and guess what it was. Some people were brave, while others hesitated, especially with the green ones! The person who guessed the most flavors correctly won. It was hilarious watching their reactions, especially when they got a surprise flavor they weren’t expecting.
Don’t Say ‘Baby’
As soon as guests arrived, we gave them each a clothespin and told them one simple rule—don’t say the word “baby.” If they heard someone say it, they got to take that person’s clothespin. The person with the most pins at the end of the party won a prize. At first, everyone was careful, but after a while, people forgot and slipped up, especially when talking about the baby! It was so funny to watch guests try to trick each other into saying the word.
Baby Name Race
This was a fast-paced and fun game! Each guest got a sheet of paper with the letters A to Z written down the side. They had two minutes to write down as many baby names as possible, one for each letter. Some people wrote common names like “Ava” and “Benjamin,” while others got creative with names like “Xander” and “Zara.” When the timer went off, we counted who had the most names. It was a fun way to get everyone thinking, and my sister even wrote down a few name ideas she liked!
Hilarious & Active Games
Baby Bottle Chug
Watching grown adults try to chug from a baby bottle was one of the funniest moments of the party! We filled baby bottles with juice and gave one to each player. The challenge? Finish the bottle as fast as possible—but only through the tiny bottle nipple. People quickly realized it’s not easy to drink fast this way! Some squeezed the bottle (which didn’t help much), and others just laughed at how slow it was. The person who finished first got a prize, and the rest were left with sore cheeks from all the sucking!
Tinkle in the Pot
This game had everyone laughing so hard! Each guest placed a balloon under their shirt to act like a pregnant belly. Then, they had to waddle across the room, holding a ping pong ball between their knees, and try to drop it into a jar without using their hands. Some people shuffled slowly, trying not to drop the ball too soon, while others moved too fast and lost their “pee” halfway there! The first person to land their ball in the jar won, but honestly, watching everyone struggle was the best part!
My Water Broke!
For this game, we handed out small plastic cups with ice cubes that had tiny plastic babies frozen inside. The challenge was simple—whoever got their baby out first won. But here’s the catch—no smashing the ice! People had to hold it in their hands, blow on it, or get creative to make it melt faster. Some rubbed it between their palms like crazy, while others stuck it in their drink to speed things up. The moment someone shouted, “My water broke!” everyone burst into laughter. It was a simple but super fun game!
Creative & Sentimental Games
Decorate a Onesie
This was such a sweet and creative activity! We set up a table with plain white onesies in different sizes, along with fabric markers, iron-on patches, and little stencils. Guests got to design their own unique outfits for the baby. Some people wrote cute messages like “Mommy’s Little Star” or “Daddy’s Sidekick,” while others drew animals, rainbows, or silly faces. A few guests even tried to match the onesies to my sister’s favorite colors and theme for the nursery! By the end, she had a whole collection of adorable (and hilarious) outfits that the baby could actually wear.
Guess Who? Baby Photos
This game was both tricky and fun! Before the party, we asked each guest to send in a baby picture of themselves. We printed them out and taped them to a board with numbers next to each one. Guests had to write down their guesses for who was who. Some were easy—like a guest who still had the exact same dimples! Others were nearly impossible, especially when the baby picture looked nothing like the adult. The person who guessed the most correctly won, but the best part was hearing everyone’s reactions to the adorable baby photos.
Advice for Mom & Dad
This was such a special keepsake for my sister and her husband! We placed a stack of note cards and pens on a table and asked guests to write down their best parenting advice or sweet wishes for the baby. Some wrote funny tips like “Sleep when the baby sleeps (or at least try!)” while others wrote heartfelt messages about cherishing every moment. After the party, we collected all the cards and put them in a box for my sister to read later. She loved it so much, and I know she’ll treasure those words of wisdom for years to come!
Word & Trivia Games
Baby Pictionary
This game was nonstop laughter! We wrote a bunch of baby-related words on slips of paper—things like pacifier, stroller, diaper blowout, and baby bottle. Guests took turns picking a word and drawing it on a whiteboard while everyone else tried to guess. Some drawings were easy to figure out, like a simple baby rattle, but others had everyone confused. One guest tried to draw “swaddle,” and it ended up looking like a burrito! The person with the most correct guesses won, but honestly, the fun was in watching the ridiculous drawings.
Baby Emoji Quiz
This one got everyone thinking! We handed out sheets of paper with a list of common baby-related phrases represented using emojis, such as a baby bottle and sleep symbol for “milk drunk” or a baby and music notes for “baby lullaby.”Guests had to decode as many as they could within a time limit. Some were easy, but others made people scratch their heads and guess wildly. It was so funny hearing guests whispering, “What does a diaper explosion look like in emojis?” At the end, we went over the answers, and people had some really creative (and totally wrong) guesses!
Nursery Rhyme Fill-in-the-Blanks
This game brought back childhood memories! We printed out incomplete nursery rhymes, like “Twinkle, twinkle, little ____” or “The itsy-bitsy _____ climbed up the water spout.” Guests had to fill in the blanks without looking up the lyrics. Some got them right away, while others made up the funniest versions. One guest mixed up “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” which had everyone cracking up. The person who completed the most correctly won, but even the wrong answers made the game extra fun!
Laugh-Out-Loud Games
What’s in the Diaper?
This game was absolutely gross—but in the funniest way! We melted different chocolate bars inside diapers and had guests take turns inspecting them to guess what kind they were. Some people sniffed them, some poked at the “mess” with a spoon, and a few brave ones even tasted it! We used a mix of chocolates like Snickers, Hershey’s, and Reese’s to make it tricky. The reactions were priceless—some guests gagged while others couldn’t stop laughing. The person who guessed the most correctly won, but honestly, everyone won in terms of entertainment!
Pregnant Twister
This one had us all rolling with laughter—literally! We had guests stuff pillows under their shirts to create a “baby bump” and then play Twister. Reaching for the red or blue circles was hard enough, but with a big belly in the way, people kept losing their balance. Some guests fell over as soon as they tried to twist, while others got creative, stretching in the funniest ways to stay in the game. It was a great way to get everyone moving and make the party even more fun!
Baby Charades
This was a baby shower classic! We wrote baby-related activities on slips of paper, like “changing a diaper,” “burping a baby,” or “rocking a baby to sleep.” Guests had to act them out while the rest of the group guessed. Some were easy, like feeding a baby, but others were harder—one person acted out “baby’s first steps,” and it looked more like a zombie walk! The best part was seeing people get super into it, rocking invisible babies or pretending to struggle with a stroller. It kept everyone laughing the whole time!
Competitive & Fast-Paced Games
Spoon-Feeding Race
This game was pure chaos and so much fun! Guests paired up—one person was blindfolded while the other sat in front of them, ready to be fed. We gave each team a small bowl of applesauce and a tiny baby spoon, then set the timer. The blindfolded person had to scoop up applesauce and feed their partner as quickly as possible. Let’s just say… it got messy fast! Some people completely missed their partner’s mouth, while others were extra cautious and took forever. The fastest (and least messy) team won, but the real win was all the laughter from watching applesauce land everywhere!
Baby Sock Sorting
Who knew baby socks could be so tricky? We dumped a big pile of tiny, mismatched baby socks in front of each guest and set a one-minute timer. Their job was to match as many pairs as possible before time ran out. The socks were all different colors and patterns, so some people got flustered trying to find matches quickly. A few guests took the strategy of sorting by color first, while others just grabbed and hoped for the best. The person with the most correctly matched pairs won, and my sister ended up with a neatly organized set of baby socks!
Balloon Belly Pop
This game had everyone cracking up! We tied a balloon around each guest’s waist, positioned in front like a baby bump. The challenge? They had to pop their balloons by bumping bellies with another guest—no hands allowed! Some people took a gentle approach, while others went full-speed and bounced right off each other. The squeaky sounds of balloons rubbing together made it even funnier. The first team to pop all their balloons won, but everyone had a blast watching the belly-bumping action!
Name That Lullaby
This one was a fun challenge, especially for parents in the room! We played short clips of classic lullabies and kids’ songs, like “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and “Rock-a-Bye Baby.” Guests had to write down their guesses, and some songs stumped people more than we expected! A few guests started singing along before they even wrote their answers. At the end, the person with the most correct answers won a prize, but the best part was hearing everyone humming lullabies for the rest of the party!
Cuteness Overload Games
Baby Predictions
This was such a sweet and exciting game! We handed out little cards where guests could write down their guesses for the baby’s birth date, weight, length, and hair color. Some guests took it seriously, thinking about the parents’ features, while others got super creative—one person guessed the baby would weigh as much as a watermelon! We collected all the predictions and put them in a special envelope for my sister to keep. She loved the idea of opening them after the baby is born to see who was closest!
Who Knows Mommy Best?
This game showed who really knew my sister! Before the shower, I asked her a bunch of fun questions, like “What’s her biggest pregnancy craving?” and “What’s one thing she swears she’ll never do as a parent?” During the party, guests had to guess her answers. Some were spot on—like her love for spicy food—but others were way off! When we read the answers out loud, my sister laughed so hard at some of the wild guesses. The guest with the most correct answers won, but it was really about celebrating how well we all know and love the mom-to-be.
Future Career Guess
This game was all about imagining baby’s future! We placed different objects in a bag—things like a stethoscope (doctor), microphone (singer), paintbrush (artist), and a calculator (businessperson). Each guest took turns pulling out an item and predicting what career the baby might have based on it. Some people got really into it, sharing funny stories about why they thought the baby would be a scientist or an athlete. My sister loved hearing all the possibilities, and we even wrote down the predictions to share with the baby one day!
Hands-On & Crafty Games
Diaper Message Station
This was one of the most fun and practical activities at the shower! We set up a table with a stack of diapers and colorful markers, and guests got to write messages on the back of each one. Some people wrote sweet notes like “Hang in there, Mom and Dad!” while others went for funny ones like “Caution: Toxic Zone” or “You’re up, Dad!” My sister loved reading them, and we knew these messages would bring a smile (or at least a laugh) during those late-night diaper changes. It was such a simple but meaningful way for everyone to be part of the baby’s first few months!
Make a Baby Mobile
This activity was a hit, especially for the crafty guests! We provided a wooden hoop, string, and a bunch of cute little decorations like felt animals, stars, and clouds. Each guest got to design and decorate a piece to be added to the mobile. Some people made little hearts, while others created tiny baby-themed cutouts. By the end, we had a beautiful, one-of-a-kind mobile that my sister could hang in the nursery. It was so special knowing that every guest had a hand in making something for the baby!
Bib Decorating Contest
This game brought out everyone’s creative side! We handed out plain white bibs and fabric markers, and guests had a set time to decorate them however they wanted. Some went for adorable designs with baby animals and cute patterns, while others wrote funny phrases like “Feed me or nobody sleeps!” and “Mommy’s little mess maker.” Once everyone was done, my sister picked her favorite, and we gave a small prize to the winner. The best part? She now has a whole set of unique, handmade bibs that will actually get used!
Sweet & Sentimental Games
Mom vs. Dad Trivia
This game was such a fun way to see how well guests knew the parents-to-be! Before the shower, I asked my sister and her partner a bunch of questions, like “Who was the pickier eater as a kid?” or “Who took longer to learn to ride a bike?” Then, at the party, guests had to guess which parent each answer matched. Some of the answers were so surprising—turns out my sister was the one who hated naps, not her husband! Everyone had a blast debating the answers, and it was a great way to celebrate both parents as they get ready for their little one.
Wishes for Baby
This was such a sweet and sentimental part of the shower. We set up a table with cute little cards and asked guests to write down their wishes for the baby. Some people wrote heartfelt messages like “I hope you always know how loved you are,” while others got creative with advice like “Eat your veggies, but always save room for dessert!” After everyone finished, we placed the cards in a keepsake book for my sister to read later. She got teary-eyed going through them, and I know this will be something she treasures forever.
Letter to Baby
This was one of the most meaningful activities we did. Each guest wrote a letter to the baby, which my sister plans to save and give to them on a special birthday, like their 18th. Some people wrote about their excitement to meet the baby, while others shared life advice or funny stories about the parents. My sister even wrote a letter herself, which made it extra special. Knowing that the baby will one day read all these messages from the people who loved them before they were even born made this moment really touching.
