Budding artists, now’s your time to shine — it’s time for Baby Shower Pictionary! This shower game is fun, lively, and easy to prepare for. The idea is simple: Using our FREE printable, print out picture prompts ahead of time and cut them out. Fold them up, and put them in a large bowl. On the day of the shower, divide guests into teams. Each team will pick a designated artist, who will choose a prompt and draw what’s on the paper without making a sound. Their teammates will then guess what is being drawn! With prompts like “water breaking” and “driving to the hospital,” this game has the potential for absolute hilarity.

Birthday Bets
We love baby shower games that get people excited for the new arrival, and Birthday Bets is the perfect game to do just that. Guests fill out a sheet that predicts the day of birth, time of birth, and the length and weight of the baby at birth. Whoever gets the closest overall wins! The best news is that we have a FREE printable Birthday Bets sheet for your baby shower. We even have a sheet for twins, triplets, and quadruplets!
Don’t say “Baby”
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.
Baby Animals
Who doesn’t love baby animals? Nobody, that’s who. We’ve got the perfect baby shower trivia game for all you animal lovers. This match-up game is fun and easy to play. Print out a list with two columns with one column containing animal names and the other containing baby animal names. Some will be easy (like bear and cub), while others… not so much (ferret and kit, for example). Get the full rules here.
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.)
Famous Mothers
The Famous Mothers baby shower game is sure to delight everyone, especially your pop culture-loving guests. Each guest is assigned a famous mother (examples: Octomom, Reese Witherspoon, Princess Diana, etc.). When it’s their turn, they stand up and have other guests ask “yes” or “no” questions, which they then answer. The first person to guess the famous mom wins that round! Your virtual guests can also join in on the fun by accessing the games section on your WebBabyShower page. Here are the full rules of the game.
