Need fun and easy virtual baby shower games specifically for your work baby shower? These seven games are great for entertaining your guests in a work-friendly environment.

Just great games that will keep your guests entertained and engaged. Let’s take a look.
- Baby Trivia
- Baby Jeopardy
- Baby Animals Match
- Labor or Horror
- Diaper Bag
- Price is Right

Baby Trivia
This game is fun and requires a bit of knowledge! To play, choose from any of our baby shower trivia games like Famous Mothers or Baby Songs. The individual games vary, (you will need a printout for some) and all of them require you to show off your knowledge about specific topics.
If you want, ask your guests to prep about their topics in advance, and then make the game really challenging by asking tough questions!
You don’t want the baby shower to become yet another Zoom call! do you?
And that is why WBS now has a built-in video chat feature. With it, you can seamlessly integrate matching shower themes, emoji reaction animations, and screen capture for those great moments! Read more about how WebBabyShower works here.
Baby Jeopardy
Baby Jeopardy is played just like the game show, but with a baby shower twist! The questions and categories will be baby-themed, and your guests can give their answers as they play in teams. As the host, you’ll ask the questions (or provide the answers since it’s Jeopardy). The guests want their team to answer the most questions correctly and collect the most points.
This game is really great for co-workers as it promotes cooperation and teamwork and a little healthy competition! Plus, it’s a very interactive game so that no one will be bored.
Baby Animals Match
The Baby Animals match game is a trivia (knowledge) game. All you need to do is get our handy printable if you’re having a baby shower in person. If you’ll be hosting virtually, the game is available on our WebBabyShower App. Basically, you just need to match the baby animal with its parent animal.
The host can quickly announce the winners through the video call by checking the scorecards. Super easy and fun!
Labor or Horror
Guessing whether a woman is in labor or in a horror movie can be more complicated than you’d think! This hilarious game shows guests scenes from various movies, and the players must guess if the woman is in labor or part of a horror film.
This game works well for pretty relaxed office environments. If the guests all get along and have a similar sense of humor, it can be tons of fun. Also, know whether you’ll be comfortable if a manager or supervisor will be part of the video call.
Diaper Bag
This game is easy and not difficult to adapt for a purse if no one has a diaper bag with them. Your guests will get a list of items that might be in a purse or diaper bag. The player who finds the item the fastest gets the point. Play as many rounds as you like, then name the winner!
If you don’t have a lot of time and need an interactive party game, this is perfect. There’s virtually no prep work, and your guests are guaranteed to have a good time.
Price is Right
There’s no doubt having a baby can be crazy expensive! And this fun game is a great ice breaker. To play, ask guests to guess how much baby items cost. We have a slide show version on WebBabyShower that’s perfect. And it’s best that you time the guests, giving them just a minute or two to come up with their answers, so the game has some excitement to it.
Baby Word Search
A baby shower word search game is a fantastic way to get guests ready to party, and it’s straightforward to set up. Everyone receives a word search paper, and then the players are timed to find the most baby-related words before they run out of time.
Ideas to Make a Virtual Work Baby Shower Fun
Since baby showers involving co-workers can be a bit different than ones for family and friends, we’ve got some tips to help you have the best party possible.
Pick great prizes
First of all, when if you’re planning on playing any of these awesome virtual baby shower games for work, be sure to pick out some fantastic prizes. People tend to be more engaged with a game if they are playing for a prize – even if that prize is simple and inexpensive.
Think about things your co-workers might like that can somehow relate to work. Examples of this would be gift cards for coffee or a restaurant near your workplace, or maybe a spa day gift certificate for your co-workers that deal with a lot of stress. Other nice presents are candles, great business and leadership books, or desk decoration.
Know what your guests will like
When you choose games, be sure to read the room. Know the crowd that’s coming to the party and their sense of humor. Then choose virtual baby shower games for the workplace that will be appreciated.
Decorate minimally
To keep things easy and professional, choose minimalist decorations – if you’re hosting from a professional setting then you might want to keep things looking more low-key. However, if you’re hosting the shower from home – as the host you can lead by example and decorate for the party and encourage your virtual guests to follow suit if they want to.
In these instances, it’s a good idea to pick one or two colors for decor and choose decorations that have a high impact but aren’t too over the top. A cute banner and a few desk decorations in a frame are really all you need for virtual parties.
Choose exciting games for your virtual work baby shower
When picking out virtual baby shower games for work, these seven options won’t let you down. They’re all easy to play, and a lot of them your guests will already be familiar with.
Be sure to choose a variety of games, maybe two or three. Some that are more interactive, some that are timed, etc. Mix it up so that everyone will get to play a game that they like.
As always, when planning any kind of baby shower, know that WebBabyShower is here for you. With thousands of successful baby showers to prove it, we know how to help you create the ultimate party.
