1. Baby Lip Sync Challenge
What You’ll Need:
- Headphones
- A device to play loud baby music
- A list of baby-related phrases
Preparation:
Prepare a playlist of baby-themed songs and write down funny baby-related phrases.
How to Play:
Guests play in pairs. One wears the headphones while the other says a baby-related phrase such as “sleep like a baby”. The person with the headphones must guess what was said. Each pair has one minute to guess as many phrases as possible.
I promise you, watching someone struggle to figure out what’s being said and guessing something completely off is one of the funniest things ever!
2. Baby Word Challenge
What You’ll Need:
- Pre-made word cards with baby-related words + a list of restricted words for each word
Preparation:
Create cards with baby-related words such as pacifier and list four restricted words underneath that cannot be used in the description (like soother, dummy, binky, suck).
How to Play:
Divide guests into two teams. One player picks a card and must describe the word without using any of the restricted words. Their team has one minute to guess. If they fail, the opposing team gets a chance. Then the second team starts, and so on. The team with the most correct guesses wins!

3. Guess the Baby Food
What You’ll Need:
- A variety of baby food jars with different flavors
- Disposable spoons for each guest
- Blindfolds
Preparation:
Remove labels from baby food jars.
How to Play:
Each time, two competitors are chosen and blindfolded. They both taste the same baby food at the same time. The first one to guess the correct flavor wins the round. The game continues with new pairs until all the jars have been tasted.
Be prepared for some hilarious (and disgusted) reactions!
4. The Chocolate Bar Challenge
What You’ll Need:
- A chocolate bar
- A butter knife
- Kitchen gloves (acting as baby mittens), a hat, and a bib
- A pair of dice
Preparation:
Place all the items in a central spot.
How to Play:
Two players face off. One wears kitchen gloves, a hat, and a bib while trying to cut pieces from a chocolate bar with a knife. Meanwhile, the other player rolls two dice, trying to get a double six. When they do, the second player must quickly put on the hat, bib, and gloves before starting to cut the chocolate. The game continues until the chocolate bar is gone, and the winner is the one who cuts the most chocolate pieces!
5. The Blindfolded Baby Race
What You’ll Need:
- Blindfolds
- A small prize
Preparation:
Choose an area for the race and place the prize at the finish line. For an extra challenge, set up obstacles along the way to make navigation even trickier and more fun!
How to Play:
Players form pairs. One is blindfolded while their partner guides them to the prize using only a baby voice. The baby voice not only fits the baby shower theme but also makes it harder to recognize your partner’s voice, adding to the challenge and the laughs! The first team to reach the prize wins!
6. The Wrong Answer Game
What You’ll Need:
- A list of questions
Preparation:
Prepare a list of questions about babies, pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood.
How to Play:
One person asks a question such as “How many months is a full-term pregnancy?” The players must answer incorrectly. The same guest keeps answering until they accidentally answer correctly, then the next guest takes their turn. The person who gives the most wrong answers before eventually answering correctly wins!
It’s harder (and funnier) than you think!
7. Baby Shower Secret Game
What You’ll Need:
- Just instructions for the group
Preparation:
Explain the game to all but one participant.
How to Play:
One person leaves the room. The group decides to make them think they have a secret to uncover – but they don’t actually know what it is! The group only says “yes” if the question ends in a letter from the word “shower” and “no” otherwise.
The things they are about to reveal and their frustration over how you ‘discovered’ the secret will have you laughing until your stomach hurts!
8. No Thumbs Challenge
What You’ll Need:
- Tape
- The supplies needed will depend on the tasks you choose.
Preparation:
Prepare baby-related items and tape guests’ thumbs to their palms.
How to Play:
Guests must complete a series of baby-related tasks without using their thumbs. The tasks can include:
- Changing a diaper on a baby doll
- Unscrewing and preparing a baby bottle
- Opening a pack of baby wipes and taking one out
Each task is timed, and the player who completes all the challenges the fastest wins! Watching participants struggle with simple tasks without thumbs is absolutely hilarious!
9. Baby Item Match Game
What You’ll Need:
- Baby items
- A box
Preparation:
Gather a selection of baby items such as a pacifier, diaper, bottle, rattle, and bib. Place them at the bottom of a covered box so they are hidden from view.
How to Play:
Each player comes from the opposite side and tries to place an identical item on top of the box without seeing the original. If correct, they go again. If wrong, the turn moves to the next player. The one with the most successful matches wins.
Watch the video example below and imagine it with baby items:
10. Silent Baby Karaoke
What You’ll Need:
- Headphones
- A playlist of baby songs
Preparation:
Prepare a list of classic children’s songs and a playlist. Set up headphones to play loud music for one player while the rest of the group listens to the children’s song.
How to Play:
Players form pairs. One player wears headphones with loud music so they cannot hear anything. Meanwhile, the rest of the group listens to a well-known children’s song. The other player must act out or lip-sync the song using only gestures and facial expressions to help their partner guess the song. The pair that guesses the most songs correctly wins!
