everyone has a baby pin pinned to their shirt.. if someone catches someone else saying, “baby”, they can take the baby pin and pin it to themself.. whoever has the most pins at the end, wins!
Add your own answer in the comments!
u can take a list of who thinks the baby will be a boy or a girl, the due date and the weight of the baby.
another game u can do (it sounds gross) but u can get all different chocolate bars and melt them individually and put them in nappies so they look like poo and then the people have to guess what they are by sniffing eg thats a mars bar or thats a snickers. saw that on girls of the playboy mansion.
eveeryone cuts a piecce of yarn to guess how big the mommy to be is around.. the closest wins (duh).. smelling jars of baby food and guessing it.. of course the game where you hide the mommy to be and you ask questions “what color, if any, is her nail polish?” “what is she wearing on her wrists?” “how is her hair done?” etc.. and trivia about the parents and baby.. “whens the due date” “what does mommy want it to be? daddy?”
Here are some ideas:
1. make a basket/ cradle filled with baby objects(rattle, baby powder, diaper, etc) then let each group or guest in turn get a chance to study the basket for 20 seconds to try to memorize what’s inside it. After everyone has a turn, give them a list and 2 minutes(or more) to try to remember the objects in the basket (you should have over 25). Whoever has the most correct guesses wins.
2. Have a list of adult animal names like a goose, then let the guests have to write down all of the baby names for the animals child on their paper. so for example: goose > gosling
3. this one’s funny… melt different types of chocolate bars (butterfingers, crunch etc) on a separate diaper. Pass the diaper around and let each guest try to guess what kind of chocolate bar it is. NO TASTING! only by smell and sight can they guess it. they then would write their answers on their paper, and whoever has the most wins!
I Hope These helped!!!
I saw one a The Baby Show in TLC…
They made little pacifier necklaces by gluing a lifesaver and a jelly bean or that other candy that is longer and shaped like little tube. Then strung them on cheap ribbon. Like the previous post, suggested, everyone got a necklace and when anyone said “baby” they had to give up their necklace to the person next to them. The person with the most at the end of the shower got a small prize.
Another, which was totally hilarious, was to get the guys to drink soda out of a baby bottle and who ever drank theirs the fastest got a prize. Here’s some sites I found which might give you more.
Have fun!

Ok, this one is kind of gross, but fun…. you take 5 (or more, if you’d like) baby diapers, and 5 different kinds of chocolate bars. the best ones are Snickers, Peanut butter cups, Hersheys, Mounds and Almond Joys, but you can be creative. take 1 candy bar and microwave it for a few seconds so its mushy, then smear it in the 1st diaper. do this with the rest of the bars and diapers. then you pass it around and have your guests guess whats in the Dirty Diapers. Its fun to watch the look on guests faces when the are handed a diaper and told to smell it to guess what it is! hope that helps.
The only baby shower that I’ve ever been to was my own, but all of the games were practically free. There was one where you clip a bunch of colored clothes pins to a coat hanger and everyone gets a turn to take as many clothes pins off the hanger as they can, with only one hand. Another game had everybody taking turns naming something you need when you have a baby (bottles, crib, blankets, love, etc..) towards the end those answers got really creative. The winner of each game got a small prize. Those are the only games I can think of that haven’t already been mentioned.
