3 Unique Baby Shower Game Ideas

(Scottsdale, AZ)

I'd love to share my experiences with some super fun baby shower games! I recently attended a friend's baby shower, and we had sso much fun playing baby-themed Pictionary, Baby Bottle Ring Toss, and a Diaper Fashion Show. Sounds crazy - but it was such a great time and guests were feeling so relaxed and were cracking up!

Here’s a quick rundown on how to play each baby shower game.

BABY-THEMED PICTIONARY

We gathered around in the living room, and prepared to put our artistic skills to the test. Here's how we played:

1. Materials Needed:
- A whiteboard or large pad of paper
- Dry erase markers or regular markers
- A timer
- A bowl with slips of paper containing baby-related words or phrases

2. Setup:
- We divided ourselves into two teams. Each team had a mix of people with varying artistic abilities, which made it even more fun!
- One person from Team A would take a slip of paper from the bowl, which had words like "baby bottle," "diaper change," or "baby's first steps."

3. How to Play:
- The chosen person had one minute to draw the word or phrase on the whiteboard without using any letters or numbers.
- The rest of the team had to guess the phrase before the timer ran out. If they guessed correctly, they earned a point.
- Then, it was Team B’s turn to do the same.
- We kept playing until everyone had a chance to draw, and the team with the most points at the end won a prize.


BABY BOTTLE RING TOSS

The Baby Bottle Ring Toss game was set up in the backyard, and it was such a fun idea! Here’s how we played:

1. Materials Needed:
- Baby bottles (we used around 6-8)
- Small rings (you can use teething rings or any small rings that fit over the bottle tops)
- A flat surface or table

2. Setup:
- The baby bottles were arranged in a triangular formation on a flat surface, similar to how you’d set up bowling pins.
- Each participant stood a few feet away from the table. The distance depended on how challenging we wanted the game to be.

3. How to Play:
- Each player was given five rings.
- The goal was to toss the rings one at a time, aiming to land them around the neck of the baby bottles.
- It sounds easy, but let me tell you, it was much harder than it looked!
- Each ring that landed on a bottle earned a point.
- We played a few rounds, and the person with the highest score at the end won a cute prize.



3. DIAPER FASHION SHOW

The highlight of the baby shower had to be the Diaper Fashion Show. It was hilariously funny and a great way to get everyone involved and creative. Here’s how we did it:

1. Materials Needed:
- Toilet paper for creating diapers
- Various decorating materials like ribbons, markers, stickers, and glitter
- Paper for decorating and adding cut out shapes
- Music for the runway walk

2. Setup:
- We broke into teams of 3-4 people each. Each team had a “model” who would be dressed up in a diaper outfit.
- A table was set up with all the decorating materials.

3. How to Play:
- Each team had 10 minutes to create a fashionable diaper outfit for their model. This was the most fun part – the creativity and laughter were nonstop!
- Once the outfits were ready, we cleared a space in the living room and turned on the runway music.
- One by one, the models strutted down, showing off their team’s diaper creation.
- We had a panel of judges (the mom-to-be and a couple of close friends) who scored each outfit based on creativity, style, and overall hilarity.
- The winning team received a fun prize, and everyone had a great time cheering and laughing at the fantastic diaper designs.
