7 Baby Shower Games Ideas and Virtual Baby Shower Games

The miracle of childbirth is something to be celebrated and no matter whether you are having a Boys Baby Shower, Girls Baby Shower or perhaps even a Gender Reveal, a party is definitely in order!

Baby showers are always a lot of fun, but if you believe that the food and décor is the only thing you need to worry about, you have not been to a modern baby shower. Nowadays, baby shower games reign supreme, so if you want to make a great impression on guests, you’ll need to up your party games list!

We’ve put together a list of our top seven party games to impress your guests during your baby shower.

Measure the Baby Bump

For this game, you will need a baby shower measuring tape, a pen and paper/board to record your guests guesses, and of course you are going to need the baby bump! This is a great game to get everyone involved, including the soon to be new edition!

Each guest will guess how big they think the baby bump is, and record their guess on the tape measure wherever they think will be the right size. Once the tape measure is wrapped around the bump (gently of course) the winner becomes known!

A game of Measure the Baby Bump makes a great group game, which is of course very important at a Baby Shower, as it includes all guests and gets them interacting. Perfect for when you have guests who may not have met each other before your Baby Shower, which is one of the reasons it is among the most popular baby shower game ideas.

Whilst Measure the Bump may not be a game of skill, measuring the baby bump is an easy way to hand out some baby shower prizes!

Baby Shower Bingo

Who doesn’t love Bingo! Bingo is a game that can easily be adapted to suit most occasions, making it the perfect game for baby showers.

Playing baby shower bingo is nice and easy, and not too dissimilar to the traditional version you will be used to. The baby shower bingo cards feature various baby items such as a pram, dummy, and nappy. When the host calls out the specific baby item, if your card contains that product, you get to put a marker on that space. When you receive enough marks on your card, you win Baby Shower Bingo.

Here at Party Save Smile, we love Baby Shower Bingo. A simple and fun game that is sure to increase the excitement levels of your baby shower. Plus, who doesn’t know how to play bingo!

Pin the Dummy on the Baby

A Baby Shower take on an old party classic ‘Pin the tail on the donkey’, Pin the Dummy on the Dummy is the perfect game to get everyone involved! You may remember Pin the tail on the donkey from birthday parties as a child, well Pin the Dummy on the Baby follows the same rules as this traditional game.

Players take it in turns to be blindfolded and handed a dummy sticker. First they are spun around multiple times (so there is no cheating!) Then they attempt to stick the dummy in the baby’s mouth on a poster. The nearest sticker on the poster to the baby’s mouth is the winner.

Pin the dummy on the baby is a lot of fun at any baby shower, and when you are looking for a game everyone can play together, this one is perfect and is sure to get a lot of laughs!

Dirty Nappies - The Baby Shower Nappy Game!

One of the most uncomfortable parts of being a parent is changing all those dirty nappies and what is in those nappies can sometimes be quite the surprise! If you are looking for a game of sense, squirms, and fun reactions, Dirty Nappies may be the one for you, your guests’ imaginations are sure to take over and not always in a good way!

This baby shower nappy game takes the principle of dirty nappies and makes them fun. It is a game for the senses. Each nappy is filled with something different, something fragrant, or with a different texture or consistency. It can be something sweet smelling, or perhaps closer to the real thing.

Fill the nappies ahead of your Baby Shower, so your guests, without looking inside the nappy, can be tasked with guessing what is actually in the dirty nappy. Encourage your guests to smell and taste the contents for an afternoon full of laughs!

Your guests can then write down their guesses before you reveal the answers, with the winner being the guest that guesses the most dirty nappies correctly. Don’t forget you will need an appropriate baby shower prize for the winner of this fun baby shower guessing game, they’ve earned it after all!

Guess the Baby Picture

Some of the best games don’t have to cost the earth, and this next game is one of the greatest free baby shower games there is.

Guess the baby is one of the most enjoyable and simple games for any baby shower, and here at Party Save Smile, we love this game as it gets everyone involved as well as helping your baby shower guests get to know each other a little more!

What the new baby will look like, nobody knows, but you can guess what each of your guests looked like as a baby! Ask each guest to bring a baby photo of themselves to the party to display on a board or wall. Guests can then use baby shower prediction cards to guess which guest goes with each photo. The photos are sure to strike up some great conversations and memories - everything you need for a fun time.

To guess which baby photo goes with which guest can be very difficult, but certain facial features do not change. If you are ever playing this game at a baby shower, the secret is in the eyes, they can tell a lot. How about that for a little tip for your next fun baby shower games!

Baby Shower Charades

A party without a game of charades is no party at all, and when you want to put your guests to the test and see what they can do, baby shower charades is the ideal game.

In this game, your guests will take it in turns to act out a baby themed item, such as a pram or dummy. The possibilities are endless, and baby shower charades is one of the few games you can use for both in person but also as virtual baby shower games.

Baby Shower Pinatas

There is nothing more fun than hitting a pinata at a party. Fun and candy filled, Pinata party games are not just for kids! Choose a baby shower pinata that is baby themed such as a bottle, dummy, or even a nappy design to suit your theme.

Get playing to find out which of your party guests will be the one to break the pinata, and you may even find your guests are grateful for the sweets as a little pick me up too!
