10 fun baby shower games

In baby shower is one of the most treasured moments of pregnancy - a chance for the mother-to-be to feel celebrated, seen and loved. To create a party filled with joy, laughter and memories, it is perfect to plan some games.

Here you will find 10 entertaining and easy to plan baby shower games - suitable for both large and small groups.

1. baby memory lane

Ask each guest to bring a baby picture of themselves. Hang the pictures up and let everyone guess who is who.

A fun, nostalgic game that generates conversation and laughter - and lets guests get to know each other better.

Baby Memory Lane is perfect at the start of the party to lighten the mood and get everyone talking.

2. baby shower bingo

Create bingo cards with baby-related words - for example, “baby bottle”, “onesie”, “diaper cake” or “gift”. During the gift opening, guests mark each word mentioned.

The first person to get bingo wins a small prize!

Babyshower Bingo works best when guests are seated - for example during coffee breaks or gift opening.

3. Let the baby laugh

Ask guests who already have children to bring short audio clips of their babies laughing. Play the clips - and let everyone guess which baby the laugh belongs to.

A cute, fun and unique game that's guaranteed to make you laugh.

4. Name the cuteness

If the parents haven't chosen a name yet - let the guests help!
Print out a piece of paper with the whole alphabet and let everyone think of one name per letter.

The naming scheme is both creative and personal - and can provide parents with unexpected inspiration.

5. mom quiz

Make a fun quiz with questions about the mother-to-be! For example:

• What is her favorite dish right now?
• When did she enter the third trimester?
• How many pairs of baby socks has she already bought?

Let the guests guess - and let the mother herself reveal the answers.

6. Spit out the pacifier

A classic with a new twist! Buy candy canes and see who can spit their pacifier the furthest. A guaranteed icebreaker and perfect for laughter.

Works best outdoors or wherever there is space - and feel free to have a small prize for the winner.

7. Changing a diaper blindfolded

Get out a doll and a diaper - and let the mom-to-be (or guests) try to change the diaper blindfolded. Want to make it extra fun? Put something sticky in the diaper (e.g. chocolate pudding).

8. Quiz about children

Prepare a quiz with tricky questions like:

• In which month are most babies born in Sweden?
• Can newborn babies cry tears?
• How many diapers does an infant use per year?

The children's quiz is perfect for engaging the whole party and provoking discussion - especially if the answers are surprising!

9. Guess who is hiding in the stomach

Let the guests guess:

• What day the baby is born
• Length and weight
• Eye color or who the child will most resemble

Write down all your guesses and save them for after the birth - fun to look back on!

10. Create a memorable painting

Give each guest a white onesie or a white baby blanket and let them paint or write with textile pens.
This will be a memorable and heartfelt contribution to the baby's first wardrobe.

This activity works perfectly towards the end of the party - calm, creative and emotional.

• Mixing energy levels: alternate quiet and fast-paced games.
• Adapt to the group: small groups are suitable for quizzes, large groups for bingo and guessing games.
