Baby Shower Scattergories is a great shower game option whether you’re hosting a traditional baby shower or a virtual baby shower. In this game, guests are given a letter and must name as many things in various categories (a baby garment, jarred baby food, a favorite baby toy, etc.) that begin with that letter. The rounds are timed, and it’s always a hoot to see what people come up with when under pressure. Here is a full rundown of the rules plus a FREE Baby Shower Scattergories printable.
Game Tag: SIMPLE
Mommy or Daddy
Remember high school superlatives? Maybe you won “Most Likely to Succeed,” or “Class Clown.” Well, this baby shower game is similar, and it’s fun and easy to play. The host comes up with a list of superlatives that the guests will then assign to either the new mom or dad. There is no “winner” with this game, but if the parents-to-be have a good sense of humor, it’s a great opportunity to get a lot of laughs from baby shower guests. Who will get “Most Likely to Get Peed On,” “Most Likely to Put a Diaper on Backwards,” or “Most Likely to Helicopter Parent”? Bonus: this one is easily adaptable for a virtual baby shower!

Baby Shower Word Search
How many words can your guests find before the time runs out in the Baby Shower Word Search game? Guests will race to find words like “BOTTLE,” “STROLLER,” and “FORMULA” in this game. With our FREE Baby Shower Word Search printable, planning and executing this game is as easy as point, click, and print!
Scream Queen or Mom in Labor?
If you’re hosting a baby shower during the month of October, this game might just be the perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit. (Even if you don’t host in the month of October, this game is just downright hilarious.) Before the shower, find two types of photos: photos of horror movie scream queens in action and photos of moms in labor. Guests then have to guess whether each photo is of a scream queen or of a mom giving birth. This game is ideal for lovers of horror films or anyone with a great sense of humor.
Baby Name Race
Everyone has opinions on what a baby’s name should be (ahem, Grandma), so this fun baby shower game is the perfect way for them to get those names out of their system! In Baby Name Race, guests receive a printed list with all the letters of the alphabet. The game begins, and they have 60 seconds to fill in each letter with a baby name. (No made-up names allowed, Aunt Karen!) From Ava to Zeke, this game will have your guests scrambling to come up with 26 baby names in just one minute.

Guess Who Said It
Similar to the Mommy or Daddy game, this baby shower game asks guests to answer questions and try and guess if the answer applies to the mom or dad — but in this game, the parents-to-be answer the questions ahead of time. For example, ask both parents, “Who will be the strictest parent?” Then when you ask the shower guests, they’ll have to guess which one claimed they’d be the strictest parent.
