At a baby shower, the expectant parents and their little miracle are the centre of attention. The games should reflect that as well. Since there will likely be a few tears and relatives dropping by during the celebration, you shouldn’t plan too many activities. Two to three games are enough to provide a nice change of pace.
When choosing the games, make sure they suit the guests: Do they enjoy being creative, or would a bit of action be welcome? Games should entertain, create a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, and not have the opposite effect. It’s best to plan everything in advance, ensure there are enough materials for all guests — and then the fun can begin!
Baby Shower Games: Fun, Creative and Touching
1. Quiz about the Parents
We start off easy and focus first on the people who have already come into the world: mum and dad. Prepare quiz questions about them in advance to be read out during the party. Answers are shouted out loud, and you find out who answers the most questions correctly and wins the quiz. Possible questions could be:
What is their star sign?
Where did they meet?
What is mum’s/dad’s favourite food?
Who will be the stricter parent?
Who will change the most nappies?
2. Emoji Lullabies
Emoji lullabies are modern baby shower games that will be popular with Millennials and Gen Z! Think of the title of a children’s song and try to represent it with emojis. The other players then have to guess. Whoever guesses the most songs wins!

3. Guess the Baby Food
An absolute classic that must not be missing at any baby shower! The flavour range of baby food knows no bounds: from apple-banana with baby biscuit to spaghetti bolognese to rice with carrots and organic turkey — there’s something for every gourmet. But can you taste what’s in the jar? Get a variety of types, note which puree is in which jar. Now everyone can taste in turn and write down which ingredients they think are in each puree. Whoever guesses the most flavours correctly wins.
4. Bottle Drinking Race
If there are mothers among the guests, you can ask them to bring a few bottles. Otherwise, you can buy bottle sets for about 30 euros, which the expectant mum will surely use in the future. Fill the bottles with the same amount of a liquid of your choice, then two people compete to drink the contents of their bottle as quickly as possible — which is not as easy as it sounds but just as fun.
5. Categories – Baby Edition
Categories (The word game) is always a hit — so also at baby showers. Simply replace the usual categories with terms from the world of parents and children, such as baby name, lullaby, food, or children’s toy. Creativity knows no bounds. The rest of the game proceeds as usual: one person recites the alphabet in their head, another shouts “Stop!” and everyone starts filling in their tables until the first person completes all categories.
6. Painting Baby Bodysuits & Bibs
Ready, set, go with fabric markers: guests can let their creativity run free on plain bodysuits and bibs. It’s best to set a time limit so the game doesn’t turn into an all-afternoon activity. The expectant mum then chooses the winner(s) and can soon remember this unique moment when dressing or changing her newborn.
7. Late Night Nappy Messages
Since we already have the pens out, this game is a great follow-up. In “Late Night Nappy Messages,” everyone decorates a nappy with a message. It can be a funny joke or a phrase to encourage the new parents. Who knows, maybe your creative idea will make the couple smile when they have to change a full nappy at 3 a.m.! There are no winners in this game — it’s the thought that counts.

Games for an Online Baby Shower
There are many reasons to opt against an in-person baby shower. Luckily, since 2020, we know there’s an online alternative for almost everything — including baby showers. You don’t have to miss out on classic party elements like invitations or decorations! Choose an online conferencing tool, create beautiful PDF invitations with an agenda, and coordinate with other guests about a creative virtual background. This way, you bring party vibes into many living rooms and home offices.
With our game ideas for remote baby showers, you can celebrate together, have fun, and stay close despite the distance.
8. Nappy Changing Competition
For the competitive ones, the classic baby shower game must not be missing: a nappy-changing duel. Two or more players compete to change a doll’s or soft toy’s nappy as quickly as possible. Those who love a challenge can even try it blindfolded!
9. “Never Have I Ever” – Baby Edition
Originally a drinking game, this version is about sharing funny or surprising experiences related to babies or parenthood — all without pressure. It creates a relaxed and often very amusing atmosphere where everyone gets closer and maybe even some unexpected stories come to light. This game is perfect for loosening up the mood and generating lots of laughs. Incidentally, the expectant mum gains many honest insights and realises: nobody starts parenthood perfectly — and that’s completely okay!
10. Time Capsule
Throughout the baby shower, have a small box or jar with creative supplies ready. Guests can write messages to the little miracle or the parents, or take instant photos to put inside. The parents can open the time capsule together with their child in a few years and reminisce about these moments. There are no limits to your creativity with the messages!
Conclusion
With these 10 baby shower game ideas, entertainment is definitely guaranteed! Think about which games suit the parents and their guests well, and plan a maximum of three activities. After all, there should still be room for conversation and delicious treats.
