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.

Baby Shower Family Feud
Can you name something you’d find in a baby’s room, or what new parents might miss about their old lives? Then it’s time to play the Family Feud baby shower game.
Inspired by the popular TV show, this version of Family Feud lets your guests guess the top answers for each baby-related question. Divide your group into teams and see who names the most popular answers.
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 Gift Bingo
Grab your good luck charms and your lucky stamps (devoted Bingo players, you know what we’re talkin’ about) and get ready to yell, “BINGO!” In Baby Shower Gift Bingo, guests receive Bingo cards — but instead of letters and numbers, the spaces they’re trying to fill are common baby shower gifts. In a twist on this classic game, the spaces are blank and guests get to fill them in with what presents they think the parents-to-be will receive. This means every Bingo card is different!

Baby Bump or Beer Belly
Looks can be deceiving, which your guests will soon find out when they play the baby bump or beer belly game. Are they looking at a beautiful pregnant belly or just a bulging beer gut?
Guests will view a series of slides and decide if the picture is a baby bump or a beer belly. While some photos might seem like an easy guess, others will stump your guests.
Scavenger Hunt
We love the idea of a virtual scavenger hunt! The rules are simple: The host calls out a baby-related item (a bottle, a diaper, a onesie, etc.), and each guest has a specific amount of time to get up and find that item in their home. The first five guests who find the item get to move on to the next round, and the game continues! To make things even more interesting, we encourage dressing up like a pirate to really get into the spirit of the scavenger hunt.
But even if eye patches and fake parrots aren’t your thing, check out our how-to guide and free download to make this game a smashing success. (Seriously though, consider the pirate thing. It’d be hilarious.)
