A Baby Shower usually lasts from 2-4 hours depending on budget, location, and guest list. Baby Shower Games are a great way to fill up some of that time. They also allow your baby shower guests to participate directly in the baby shower.

Baby Shower games are great ice breakers for baby shower guests who may not know each other. For a two hour baby shower you should have about 2-3 games. There are games that can be played by everyone at the same time. These include Baby Gift Bingo or a Baby Shower Scratch Off game. Other games last the entire length of the Baby Shower, such as the Pacifier Game.

Baby Gift Bingo

Purchase or create a blank Bingo Board. Many styles and themes are available. Hand one to each guest before the mom to be opens her gifts. Instruct your guests to fill out what they think the mom to be will receive as a gift. As the mom to be opens her gifts, each player will mark off a match on her bingo board. You decide what wins: straight bingo, X, four corners, etc.

Pacifier Game

Give each guest a pacifier necklace when they arrive and explain the rules to them. The rules are: If you say "baby" and someone hears you, that person gets your pacifier necklace. The winner is the person with the most pacifier necklaces at the end of the shower.

Some popular games are word searches, gift bingos, raffle tickets, and even pin the pacifier on the baby! If you are not sure of what your guests will enjoy, why not choose what the mom to be will enjoy! Games can be coordinated with your baby shower theme. Be creative and have fun!
