  #17 Mommy and Daddy’s Secrets

  Trivia about the parent-to-be’s own babyhoods is always a huge crowd-pleaser! This is a little bit more in-depth since it requires pre-gathering info from the parents-to-be:

  1. Print out a sheet of secrets with several of mommy and daddy’s secrets, having either multiple choices or blank spaces for guests to guess.
  2. Instruct the guests to guess the answer to the secrets.
  3. To make it even more challenging and fun, have a time limit.
  4. Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins! It’s always fun to see who knows the parents-to-be the most.

  #16 Baby Food Gourmet Guess

  We love this fun and simple guessing game! To set this up:

  1. Blindfold the contestants.
  2. Lay out several baby food flavors.
  3. Have guests guess the ingredients.
  4. Whoever guesses the most ingredients correctly wins!

  #15 Baby Shower Jeopardy!

  Baby Jeopardy is a spin off of the long-time hit TV quiz show, Jeopardy!, where there are 6 categories and amounts to choose from.

  1. In this game, we switch out the common categories for baby-themed ones like baby movies, baby 101, baby books, etc.
  2. Whether individually or on teams, players get a chance to choose from a category and amount (100, 200, etc) and answer.
  3. But they have to remember to answer in a form of a question!
  4. Whoever has the most points at the end is the winner!

  #14 Baby’s Firsts

  We love sharing milestones with loved ones and family in such a fun way! To set up this game, simply create a sheet with all the baby’s firsts such as “First Word?” and “Month They Were Able to Push Themselves Up When on Tummy!” and leave blank spaces for guests to fill in their guesses.

  #13 Worldwide Baby Traditions

  Do you ever wonder what baby-related customs are like around the world? We find it fascinating how many ways babies are celebrated across different cultures and parts of the world.

  In the Dominican Republic, sonograms are secondary to their folkloric custom of guessing the gender of the baby. Families here practice a custom where a spoon, fork and knife are placed under three different chairs and the expecting mama chooses one to sit on. In the DR, the spoon means a girl, the knife means a boy, and the fork means undetermined.

  In case parents want to keep the gender unknown until after the birth, a fun variation is to have guests guess which chair one mom-to-be will sit in on a blank piece of paper. To add a sweet twist: have guests guess what cravings the expecting mom is having beforehand to help guide their answer!

  #12 Who’s That Baby?

  This game brings out a lot of laughter and genuine smiles! What’s better than welcoming a new little one by traveling down memory lane to see ourselves and our guests as babies?

  1. To prep, ask guests to bring their own baby photos (or send them, if you want to go all digital with this game!). Whether you receive digital or physical prints, create a board that encompasses all the baby photos, numbering each photo for easy reference and writing the answers of who is who on a master list.
  2. Create a blank sheet of paper for each guest with numbers along the side up to the amount of photos submitted.
  3. On the day of the shower, have one person be the MC and go through each photo, having guests mark down on their papers their best guess for who is who!

  #11 Baby Shower Bingo with a Twist

  This next game is a traditional Bingo game but with baby-related words or milestones, such as bottle, crawl, milk, diapers, etc.

  1. Most guests are familiar with the original game of Bingo, so it’s likely they’ll pick up Baby Shower Bingo with no problem.

  3. Ask guests to write down gifts that the expecting parents will receive at the baby shower (or let them borrow from a list of gift examples).
  4. Once guests have filled in their squares with gift items, the game starts. As each gift is opened, mark it off.

  Hosts, here’s everything you and guests will need to play the game.

  #8 Famous Mothers

  There’s only one thing the world loves more than celeb babies, and that’s the moms who gave them life. There are entire verticals dedicated to famous moms, from the time they announce their pregnancy to the time they introduce their baby to the world.

  A game to delight any pop culture connoisseur, Famous Mothers is a great way to add a little culture to your baby shower and see what your guests are made up of!

  1. Hosts, it’s your job to give each guest the name of a famous mom. (The moms can be real-life celebs or even one of our famous fictional moms.)
  2. The player then stands in front of the group.
  3. Tell the players to shoot off yes or no questions until the guests figure out which famous mother they’ve been assigned.
  4. Playing virtually is easy too with WebBabyShower, your guests can play this game in their own time too as a matching game.
  5. The first person who guesses their famous mom wins, but don’t be fooled: it’s not as easy as it sounds!

  Tip: To keep things from getting too confusing, the host might also pick moms with super unique characteristics.

  #7 Famous Fathers

  Famous fathers are just as present in the media as famous mothers. Everyone loves reading about sweet, attentive celebrity fathers, so of course, they also have a game dedicated to them! Famous Fathers follow the same rules as Famous Mothers, except this time, the daddies will take center stage! (Yes, daddies need love too!)

  If you know your Brad Pitt’s from your Brad Paisley’s, you should be fine. But if not, you may want to brush up a little on your celebrity gossip. Like the Famous Mother game, you can pick fictional fathers as well — it’s all up to you.

  1. Hosts give out famous father names to the guys at the shower.
  2. Players will ask ‘yes or no’ questions until the guests figure out who they are.
  3. WebBabyShower has this game as a matching game so guests can compete in their own time
  4. This game can be played with or without a set time limit, but a limit will definitely increase the pressure. Not to mention, it’ll keep the game from dragging on too long, which will drag down the party.

  Tip: If your shower is a co-ed shower which most are these days, you can play both famous fathers and mothers at the same time!

  #6 Nursery Rhymes

  Nursery rhymes are the soundtrack of a baby’s early life. Their first few years are filled with these sweet, melodic rhymes that center on family, friendship, and fairy tales. But how well will your guests remember these poems from their own childhood? Sure, everyone probably remembers ‘Rock-A-Bye-Baby,” but what about lesser-known rhymes? Hopefully, well enough to fill in the blanks with this fun, nostalgic trivia game!

  Test your guests recollection skills by playing the Nursery Rhyme Game.

  1. As the host, you’ll print out or type up the most memorable lines from classic nursery rhymes, but leave one or two words blank.
  2. Pass out or print the print out to/for the guests.
  3. Instruct the guests to guess the missing words.
  4. Crown the player who guesses the most questions correctly as the winner.
  5. Your guests can also play this virtually if you choose us to host your shower. With a scoreboard, your guests will still get that friendly competition they would get from an in-person shower.

  #5 A Baby In Any Language

  The new baby will inherit a world rich in different languages. And while it’ll be exciting to watch them reach milestones in their native language (just imagine when they say their first word!) preparing them to interact in different languages will enrich their lives in ways that will last forever! Get a head start on introducing the new baby to the other languages of the world with this fun trivia game, “A Baby In Any Language.”

  This particular game will test guests’ knowledge on different pronunciations of the word, “baby,” in other languages.

  1. Hosts will print up a list of the word “baby” in different languages, then include the correct match in a corresponding key.
  2. Hosts will then pass out the materials.
  3. Instruct the players to match the word with its language.
  4. If you want to make the game harder, you can impose a time limit.

  For fun: You can also dictate that players must attempt to pronounce the words aloud correctly. (But be prepared to laugh!)

  #4 Baby & Pregnancy Trivia

  During pregnancy, it’s great for the expectant mother to have the support of her community, but how well do they really know what goes on during those nine months? Baby and Pregnancy trivia will give the mom-to-be an in-depth glance into how many of her friends and families really understand the changes going on with her and her baby’s bodies.

  1. Print up questions about baby and pregnancy and baby trivia,
  2. Read out loud to your guests – you can make this multiple choice if you like.
