Easy Baby Shower Games You Actually Want To Play

3. Baby Item Box

Place various baby items in a paper bag or a box that has a small hole cut in the side.

Give each guest a certain amount of time like 25 seconds to feel the items. When the time is up they will write down what they felt.

The one who has most correct wins.

And the mom-to-be gets to keep all the fun baby items!

All you need is the left or right story printable and a wrapped gift or two.

Read the story. Whoever is holding the gift will pass it to the left or right whenever she hears one of those words. And the one who is holding the present in the end, gets to keep it.

This game is so easy and an excellent ice breaker. Your guests will be giggling at the story while passing the gift around.

5. Mom-To-Be Timeline

You’ll need several pictures of mom-to-be at different ages.

• Place the pictures on a wall or table in random order.
• Label the pictures with numbers.
• Ask the guests to put them in correct order.
• Give an extra point for knowing the exact age.

As an alternative, copy all the images on a paper in random order. Give everyone their own printable. Ask the guests to put them in correct order by giving each image a number.

A fun alternative to What’s In Your Purse Game. The game is simple. The guests earn points for things in their phones.

Make your own or purchase one of the many options. The neutral one pictured above goes with any baby shower theme and is included in the baby shower game planner I mentioned earlier.

You’ll have lots of laughter with this candy match baby shower game!

The guests will enjoy figuring out which candy matches with “time alone”, which one is for the “sleepless nights” and so on.

Perhaps the winner could receive a basket filled with the candies mentioned in the game.
