Baby Bingo
Baby Bingo is a simple and fun game shower guests of any age can play. Print off several of these bingo cards – blue or pink. Make sure you have game pieces, candy, buttons, or coins for players to use for their cards. In each box, write what the expectant mother could potentially receive at her baby shower. For example, diapers, baby blanket, or lotion.
Call out each item and see who calls “Bingo” first!

Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt
A great ice breaker that helps people interact with one another is a scavenger hunt. Ask your guests to form into teams of two or three, then give each team a copy of the first clue. The rest of the clues have been hidden by you throughout the house.
I like this version of a scavenger hunt for a baby shower because each clue is fill-in-the-blank, making the clues more solvable and moving the game along at a nice pace. Make sure you have enough prizes for each team member to receive!

Baby Shower Charades
Could you stand up in front of your friends and describe “Mary Had a Little Lamb” without using words? Try this fun version of charades that centers around popular nursery rhymes. Cut up each choice and have each guest draw one out of a hat to act out.
You can choose a different theme for charades, of course. You can have your guests act out baby-related things like going into labor, swaddling a baby, or having your water break. Oh, the possibilities for fun…

I’ve actually never been to a baby shower before. We do have friends with kids, but baby showers aren’t a “thing” over here. I think I’d had fun playing some of these games though 🙂
Hi Adriana!
That’s really interesting! Where do you call home? Baby showers are certainly a cultural thing and have a great deal of socializing and eating little snacks together. I always enjoy them since you get to watch the mother-to-be open all her presents for the baby. The games are great for breaking the ice and winning fun prizes. Got to love that, haha.
I’ve lived in Italy for the past decade and never have I ever heard of anyone throwing a baby shower here. However, thoughtful gifts for the new parents are the norm, they just come after the baby does 😀 Last time I bought a gift for a new mom was just a couple months ago, I got the baby a couple of extra-cute baby onesies.
Very cool! I’d love to see Italy someday!
