These fun baby shower games are perfect whether you're planning a baby sprinkle, looking for coed baby shower game ideas, or just traditional baby shower games! They're unique, easy to setup, and fun for everyone to play!
The Best Baby Shower Games
I'm at that point in my life where everyone around me is getting pregnant whether it's with their first, second, or whatever number of baby. It's just the stage of life I'm in I guess.
It also means that I have hosted and attended a lot of baby showers and baby sprinkles in the past few years since my son was born. And served this sausage egg breakfast casserole a lot.
It also means that I've been asked to come up with unique baby shower games so that people aren't playing the same ones over and over again!

Why You'll Love Them

- They're hilarious – both to play and for others to watch.
- They're quick – both to setup and to play
- They're unique – I can guarantee you haven't played these games are other baby showers (unless they've seen this post!)

How to Play
Pick whichever ones sound the most fun to you and go for it. We typically play them as minute to win it games, but you can play them as individual games as well.
If you want to play them minute to win it style, read this minute to win it games post first for more instructions!
Otherwise, just keep reading for individual game instructions and watch the video below to see many of the games in action!
Tip!
If you will have multiple generations at the party, make sure to split the different generations among teams!
Baby Shower Game Ideas
1 – Bottle to Bottle
Supplies:
- Baby bottles (long skinny ones like this work best)
- Double-sided tape
- Sprinkles
How to Play:
Fill one baby bottle with sprinkles then put a piece of double-sided tape or paper with a medium size hole in it over the opening of the bottle (no nipple).
Take another bottle and put it upside down (so the two openings are touching) on the other bottle and tape together.
Players must transfer sprinkles from one bottle to the other bottle to win.
Some of the sprinkles will likely get stuck on the tape but the majority of them should be able to make their way through to the other bottle.
2 – Rock A Bye Baby
Supplies:
- Mini plastic babies
- Fuzzy baby pajamas
- Plastic buckets
How to Play:
This game is played in pairs. Give each pair a pair of fuzzy baby pjs and a bucket full of these little plastic babies. On the other side of the room, place a bucket or box.
When you say go, one person should hold the feet of the pjs while the other person holds the top of the pjs.
Then the team should put a baby in the middle of the pjs and use the pjs to fling the baby across the room, hopefully landing the baby in the bucket.
3 – Diaper Hang
Supplies:
- Clothespins
- Diapers
- String
How to Play:
Before the game, hang a string from one place to another.
Provide players with a bucket full of diapers and clothespins like these ones. Players must hang as many diapers as possible using just the clothespins on a string or clothesline in the allotted time.
4 – Bottle Toss
Supplies:
- Baby bottles (use the ones from the sprinkle game above) or just buy them separately like these
- Chopsticks
How to Play:
Remove the top part, the part a baby sucks on, from the baby bottle – you'll be using those for the game.
This game is played in pairs. One player will have 5 (or another number) of the bottle tops and have to toss them over to their partner who has to try and catch them on a chopstick.
If they catch one, they can put it in their "caught" pile. If they drop it, it returns to the tossing player to try again.
5 – Five Little Ducks
Supplies:
- Plastic ducks
- Plastic buckets
How to Play:
This game is played in pairs as well. Give each pair a bucket full of small ducks like this one and set up an empty bucket across the room.
One player on each team should stand on one side of the room. Their partner should stand in the middle of the room between their partner and the empty bucket.
To play, the first player on the team has to toss ducks over their partner's head (who has to duck) and try and land them in the basket on the other side of the room. First team to land five ducks wins.
6 – Celebrity Baby Name Game
Supplies:
- Pictures of celebrities and pictures of their babies (print out ahead of time)
How to Play:
Put all of the pictures (both celebrities and their babies) upside down in a pile and to play, guests have to turn over the pictures and match all of the celebrity moms to their babies within the time limit.

7 – Ice Ice Baby
Supplies:
- Mini plastic babies
- Ice cube trays
How to Play:
Before the party, freeze babies into ice cubes (one baby per cube). To play, give each player one ice cube and the first player to melt their ice cube and get their baby out first wins.
We did this with our 4th of July party games with bells (let freedom ring), and it was a huge hit!
8 – Blind Blocking
Supplies:
- Blocks
- Blindfolds
How to Play:
Blindfold each player and sit them in front of a pile of blocks (use these alphabet ones then give to mom-to-be as a gift).
Players must build a stack of blocks as high as possible in the allotted time. If their stack falls over, they can start again.
9 – Wipe Out
Supplies:
- Baby wipes (one pack per player)
How to Play:
Give each player a large pack of wipes. Players must use one hand to pull out all of the wipes from the container.
First player to empty all of the wipes wins.
10 – Chop Binky
Supplies:
- Chopsticks
- Binkies/Pacifiers
How to Play:
Players must use a chopstick held in their mouth (no hands) to pick up binkies from a table.
First player to pick up a certain number of binkies or player that picks up the most in the allotted time wins. Make sure to use binkies like these ones so the chopstick fits through the handle.
11 – Lost Sock Hunt
Supplies:
- Diaper bag (or just a purse with lots of pockets)
- Baby items (to fill the diaper bag)
- One baby sock
How to Play:
Give each person a diaper bag filled with all of the typical things you might find in a diaper bag (diapers, snacks, toys, clothes, etc.) including a blue or pink sock. Teams must search through the diaper bag to be the first one to find the hidden sock.
12 – Baby Shark
Supplies:
- Swedish Fish (or gummy sharks)
How to Play:
This game is played in pairs. Give each pair a small bag of Swedish Fish (or gummy sharks). Have one person stand on one side of the room and the other person stand on the other side of the room.
To play, players must toss Swedish Fish across the room and their partner must catch the fish in their mouth.
As soon as a player catches a fish, they must switch with their partner and continue tossing until the minute is out. The team that catches the most wins.
13 – Name that Nursery Rhyme
Supplies:
- Index cards with lines from nursery rhymes written on them (e.g., the mouse ran up the clock)
How to Play:
Put all of the index cards into a pile. Players must pick a card from the pile and name the correct nursery rhyme as quickly as possible. Once they name one, they can move onto the next card and try to get as many as possible in the minute.
Players can pass if they don't know it, but they can't come back and try it again. It'd also be fun to play nursery rhyme charades using the same index cards!
Game Tip!
Make sure to choose the most popular nursery rhymes that everyone will know! Otherwise, this one might get really tough.
14 – Bathtub Bounce
Supplies:
- Baby bathtub like these ones you get from the hospital
- Ping pong balls
How to Play:

- Baby bottles
- Piece of paper with the letters "BABY" "BOYS" or "GIRLS" in the corners (you choose)
How to Play:
Give each person an empty baby bottle and a piece of paper with the letters "BOY" or "GIRL" in the corners. The player must be the first to spin the bottle and have it land on all of the letters to spell the correct word in order.
If you go with baby, make sure they go in order – they can't use one of the B's twice.
16 – Baby Sitter
Supplies:
- Balloons
- The letters B-A-B-Y written out on slips of paper
How to Play:
Put one letter in four balloons and blow up the balloons.

Player with the fastest score (or first player to finish if you all go at once) wins.

Baby Shower Games FAQs

How many baby shower games you should play will totally depend on your mother-to-be and the guests attending the baby shower.

If you have a mother-to-be who doesn't like games, skip them all together.

No, baby shower games are not necessary. That being said, I think they're a huge part of a baby shower and most people think they're really fun!
