Best Baby Shower Games and Prizes For A Fun-Filled Party

by Gabriella Anaya | February 15, 2019

Thinking about what could be the best baby shower games and prizes that will keep everyone hooked to the party? Here’s a few ideas to help you out.

Baby showers are always a fun experience for both the future mom-to-be and for all of the attending guests. By choosing a few fun games to play at your shower, you can really get all of your guests out of their shells, especially if you’re having a larger shower where all of the guests don’t know each other or if some of your distant in-laws will be showing-up. Here are three of the best baby shower games and prizes that will keep the party going.

Best Baby Shower Games and Prizes For A Fun-Filled Party

Game: Don’t say baby!

Prize: Cruelty-free nail care

As each guest walks in, give them a small clothespin to attach to their shirt. Anytime someone says the word “baby”, someone can steal the clothespin. You can make the game more difficult by having a longer list of “banned” words such as “bump”, “due date”, and “craving”. Whoever ends up with the most pins at the end of the shower will win a prize. For this game’s prize, put together a simple nail care set including vegan and cruelty-free nail polish and polish remover (which you can read about on our website), a nail file, and hand lotion.

Game: Nursery rhyme fill-in-the-blank

Prize: Essential oil diffuser

Choose a few short nursery rhymes like Jack and Jill, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Mary had a Little Lamb and type them up, omitting some words leaving blank spaces. Print out one copy for each guest and have them fill in all the blanks as quickly as they can. The first person to correctly fill-in each blank will win a prize. Just like nursery rhymes can help put mom’s new baby to sleep, an essential oil diffuser with lavender will help the winner relax before bed.

Game: Gift Bingo

Prize: Lush bath bomb set

Before the shower, prepare “bingo” sheets for each guest but instead of using numbers, fill the spaces with either names or images of common baby shower gifts including diapers, pacifiers, onesies, and socks. Each bingo card should be different from each other and should all have similar items with a couple of different items thrown in. Play the game as mom-to-be opens her gifts and every time she opens an item listed on the bingo sheet, cross it off. The first to get five in a row gets to yell “Bingo” and will also win a prize. A lush bath bomb set is a great incentive to win the game.
