Free Baby Shower Games

Summary: While planning a baby shower you may find your budget is being stretched. Here you'll find great ways for your guest to have a blast at the party and save money at the same time! That way you can spend more on what matters to the mom like baby clothes or unique baby gifts. If you're throwing a co-ed baby shower make sure to check our our co-ed baby shower games!

Baby Picasso
For this shower game, each guest is given a white paper plate and a crayon or colored pencil. They hold the paper plate on top of their head and draw a picture of an infant. Afterwards, they sign their work and give it to mom as a keepsake. You could even have a vote to see who did the best.

Gum Baby Sculpture
This baby shower game is fun, unique and even a little gross. Give each of your guests a stick of gum to chew. After it’s chewed well, they must take it out and sculpt it into the shape of a baby. Have a panel of judges or everyone vote to see who has the best one. The winner can get a pack of gum.

Belly Bonanza
For this game you will need plenty of ribbon, tape or toilet paper. Gather the guests around and have mom stand up in the middle, proudly displaying her belly. Each person must guess at mom’s girth and measure it out with the ribbon. The person who’s closest wins.

Baby Shower Party Supplies

What’s my name?
Give each of your guests a name tag with an interesting word such as diaper, baby food, wipes, nipples, pacifier, receiving blanket, etc. For the duration of the party, this is each person’s name. If a guest accidentally calls someone by their real name, they have to put some money in a collection can for baby. It’s fun when you get to say, “Hey Nipples! Bring me some punch!”

Name that Mama
This is a great free baby shower game idea. Write the names of famous mothers (alive or dead) on pieces of paper and tape them to everyone’s back. Then, have guests pair up and ask each other yes or no questions about the famous mamas and make guesses as to who could be on their back. The first person to guess correctly wins a prize. It’s also a cute idea to make on of the papers have the mother-to-be on it.

PI’m stuffed!
This is a great way for guests to stuff themselves without eating food. Have each person shove as many inflated balloons into their shirt as possible. The one who fits the most wins a prize.

Off to the belly races!
After the party game above, have the guests race around the yard while not letting any balloons fall out.

Balloon Challenge
This shower game, write different challenges on several small pieces of paper (such as eat a jar of baby food, or chug a baby bottle of soda). Insert the papers inside a balloon, and then inflate it. Guests pop the balloons by sitting on them and then have to do whatever the challenge says. You could also let people play in teams or groups. Whoever finishes their challenges in the least amount of time wins.

Musical Chairs
It’s musical chairs…baby! Well, baby musical chairs, technically. Get some cute baby music for this game and then set it up as you would the classical musical chairs. You play the music and abruptly stop it, everyone rushes for a chair….you get the picture.

Infant Charades
Just like classic charades except all the actions and themes are infant related. It can be anything from changing a diaper to baby’s first haircut. This free baby shower game is great for couples.

Personalized Children's Books

Soap Sculptures
This game involves giving your guests a piece of soap and some carving instruments. Try pumpkin carving instruments. Then, everyone does their best to carve the shape of a new born.

Baby Scavenger Hunt
Have guests hunt around for a list of baby items. First person/team to return all the items wins. This is free and simple!

Pass the pacifier
For this baby shower game, you need a bunch of pencils and a pacifier with a loop on the end. Have everyone hold a pencil in their mouths and then attempt to pass around the pacifier without using their hands. Anyone who drops the pacifier is out and the last person standing wins.

Baby Bottle Bonanza
This free party game is like the party game where people hold fruit or balls in between their chins and necks and pass them around. Instead, they hold a baby bottle and whoever drops it is out.

Teddy bear kiss
Pass around a teddy bear or doll and have everyone kiss it anywhere. Then, everyone has to kiss the mom on the exact same spot.

Time capsule
Tell everyone to bring something to the baby shower that represents a special memory of theirs or something from the current day (i.e. newspaper). Then, have everyone put it in something like a large coffee can and ceremonially bury it in the back yard. When the child is older, it will bring back some good memories. Just remember to dig it up and take it with you if you move.

Speed Diaper
For this baby shower game, get a doll and some diapers. Have everyone race to see who can put on the diaper the quickest (correctly, of course).
