18 baby shower games that involve mom, dad and guests

Having a baby shower is common among future moms and dads, to share this joy with family and dear friends. And there are baby shower games that make the event even more unforgettable. It is possible to plan one or more baby shower games, but remember that guests will not want to spend the entire party participating in the activities. Get inspired below with some really fun ideas!

1. Get the gift right

Among the baby shower games for mom, this is the most popular. Before opening the gifts from the baby shower list, you will have to guess what it is. If you get it right, move on to the next gift! If you miss, your belly will be painted.

2. Set the diaper size

In the case of mothers who opt for a baby shower, the game may be to choose the size of the diaper that will be wrapped. But be careful: if you intend to play this game, remember to ask all guests to bring their diapers already wrapped.

3. Bingo for baby shower

This is a kind of game that men can also participate in. When opening the gifts, each guest receives a card with the items that normally a pregnant woman receives. With each gift received, guests mark their card (if they have the item). Whoever completes the card first wins a special souvenir!

4. Baby shower questions quiz: how much does it cost?

Kind of game that can be played with both the mom-to-be and the dad-to-be. Do they have any idea what lies ahead with the arrival of the baby?!

Friends make a selection of products used with the child, such as a bottle, diaper, pacifier, clothes, etc. Dad or Mom must guess the approximate price of each product mentioned among the suggested alternatives. If you get it right, friends pay you a gift. If they make a mistake, the father or mother pays a gift and/or gets painted.

5. “Who is this baby?” challenge

Nice game especially for baby showers in which a lot of people participate. Guests bring pictures of themselves as babies, and future dads must guess who the child in the picture is.

6. Time Capsule: Baby Messages

Pack a bottle or box, as well as a pen and paper. Ask the shower guests to leave a message for the baby to read in the future when they are old enough to do so.

7. Identify the baby food

Among the options for baby shower games, this one is very creative. Are mom-to-be and dad-to-be good at identifying flavors? Blindfold them both and make them taste different flavors of baby food. They should try to hit the main ingredients of each one.

8. How big is your belly?

Guests must take a roll of string and cut the piece they believe corresponds to the size of the mother-to-be’s belly. Of course without getting close to measure! Whoever comes closest to the actual measurement wins. Another similar suggestion is to use the tape measure and ask each guest to give their guess.

9. Baby shower quiz game: all about pregnancy

Make up questions and alternatives (A, B, C, D) about your pregnancy. For example: “What are you eating the most during pregnancy?”. “How many weeks did you find out you were pregnant?”, “Who was the first person you told about your pregnancy?”, “What is your doctor’s name?”, among others.

The guests should be divided into groups, and each group will choose an alternative for the answer, lifting the corresponding sign. The team with the most hits at the end wins.

10. List of famous mothers

You and your guests are challenged to write down as many “famous moms” as you can think of in a given period of time. Worth the name of singers, actresses, TV presenters, bloggers, etc.

11. Swab joke

Another game for the guests. In a clear jar, place a certain amount of cotton swabs. Each guest must guess how many cotton swabs are inside. Either get it right or get closer wins the prize!

12. Place the pacifier in the baby’s mouth

Fun game to play with the mom-to-be. Blindfolded, you must place the pacifier in the hole of a panel/frame with a baby drawn (in which the hole simulates the baby’s mouth). Another option is to ask the future dads, with a toothpick in their mouth, to take the pacifiers that are on the table (of course without using their hands). Whoever gets the most wins the contest!

13. Diaper Changing Competition

This time, the challenge is for the guests. Get at least four guests together and ask them to change the doll’s diaper. Whoever does it the fastest wins!

Regarding the prizes that will be given, it is worth chocolate, gingerbread, a key ring or any other type of souvenir. After all, the purpose is fun and not the prize itself. But it’s good to schedule yourself to know the amount of games that will be made and how many winners will be in total… So, you plan the prize right.

14. Put the pen in the bottle

Another joke option for mom to “pay mico”. A pen tied to a string should be tied around the pregnant woman’s waist. With a bottle on the floor, she will have to fit the pen inside the mouth of the bottle. It is worth setting a time to complete the task. If she doesn’t make it, she pays a gift and/or has her belly drawn. All guests can also join in the fun, trying to put the pen in the bottle!

15. Parents Quiz

This game involves future grandparents! Ask a friend to ask you questions about your childhood. For example, weight and height they were born with, the first word they spoke, whether they cried a lot or not… On the day of the tea, the friend must separate the guests into teams and take the quiz. Whoever gets the most answers right wins!

16. Dad blindfolded

This is a game that guarantees a good laugh. The future dad is challenged to do some activities blindfolded, such as changing a doll’s diaper, writing the baby’s name, among other ideas. The tip is to film the game, which will be a fun memory for everyone who participated in the moment!

17. Find the pacifier

Hide a pacifier somewhere at the party. The guests must find it. Whoever finds it first wins!

18. Baby trousseau toy

Another tip to entertain guests: you should promote an Image and Action game, but only with drawings associated with the baby’s layette. As you make the drawings, the guests must guess what it is.

As for the baby shower toys, it is worth using creativity among the group of friends. But always keep in mind that pregnant women cannot drink alcohol or make great efforts. The most common is to paint the pregnant woman when she makes a mistake/lost. As for the guests, the gifts can include drinks, “mico-pays” and whatever else your imagination allows!
