This might be one of the more challenging baby shower games because it requires strategy and concentration! The Don’t Say “Baby” Game is simple: At the beginning of the baby shower, hand out safety pins or clothespins to each guest and instruct them to fasten the pin to their clothes. Tell them that they can’t say the word “baby.” If someone catches them saying the word, they can steal that person’s pin! The person with the most pins at the end of the game wins. This game can be tricky, but don’t worry — we’ve got some tips on how to win all the pins during this fun baby shower game.

Two Truths and a Lie
For a great way to involve all guests in the fun, try the Two Truths and a Lie game. This popular sleepover game is easily adaptable for a baby shower. Before the game starts, hand out paper and pens to each guest and instruct them to write three things: two truths and one lie. Each guest will stand up and read their three statements, and the rest of the attendees will have to guess which one is the lie. When the speaker reveals their lie, anyone who guessed correctly gets one point. At the end of the game, the person with the most points wins!
Name that Baby Tune
How many notes will it take your baby shower guests to name that tune? This fun spin on a classic TV game show will have your guests humming along and tapping their toes. Before the shower, compile a playlist with songs with the word “baby” in the title. When it’s game time, play a snippet of the song. Guests will use their FREE printable WebBabyShower Name That Baby Tune template to guess the song. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins!
We compiled a Spotify playlist that you can use, or you can feel free to let your imagination run wild! (Tip: for a fun spin on this game, don’t limit the playlist to songs with just the word “baby” in the title but instead go for a baby/pregnancy/birth theme. Some fun alternative song ideas could be “Push It” by Salt-N-Pepa, “I’m Coming Out” by Diana Ross, or “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash.)
Candy Bar Match Game
We LOVE this creative baby shower game idea. In Candy Bar Match Game, guests receive a printed sheet with two columns of words. One column contains baby/pregnancy/birth-related terms like “conception,” sleepless nights,” and “epidural.” The other column contains the names of popular candies like “Twix,” “Snickers,” and “SKOR.” The object of the game is to match the term with whichever candy name best fits (“conception” with “SKOR,” for example). This game doesn’t have to have a clear winner, but it’s fun to see which terms get matched with which candies!
Karaoke Baby
If your baby shower is full of American Idol fans, this is the perfect game to play. Karaoke Baby is a basic fill-in-the-blank game… but instead of writing down the missing words, guests have to sing them! Our FREE, printable Baby Karaoke template makes prepping for this game a breeze — and it’s a perfect option for virtual baby showers, too. Just email your remote guests a copy of the printable!
To play Karaoke Baby, simply share the lyrics to a well-known nursery rhyme and drop the word guests need to sing. The guest who belts out the most correct lyrics first wins!
Baby Mad Libs
Who doesn’t love a good game of Mad Libs? Adapt this hilarious party game to your baby shower with Baby Mad Libs. Before the shower, come up with a cute or funny baby-related anecdote and omit plenty of verbs, nouns, and adjectives. For example: When Mary went into labor, she screamed out, “(WORD OF SURPRISE).” Her husband jumped off the (NOUN) and (PAST-TENSE VERB..
Have your guests come up with words ahead of time, and, when everyone’s all together for the baby shower, add those words to the template and read them out loud
