You’re near your due date! So, let’s party! How about some fun baby shower games?
One of the best parts about being pregnant is having a party and the baby shower games and prizes! There are hundreds upon hundreds of them out there, but we have collated a list of easy and fun baby games to play at your baby shower, so you don’t have to trawl the internet looking for them. These are voted by our staff as being the ‘funnest’ of the lot!
1. Porn or Labour
Download some of the widely available ‘Porn or Labour’ sheets and give them to all members of your baby shower, then you have to guess, is it porn – or is it a lady in labour. Hilariously fun and naughty!
Grab the ‘Porn or Labour’ game from Etsy.
An alternative to that is this Baby Poop Memory Game!
So to play this game, you will to guess the 23 different types of baby poo every parent will come across. It’s more fun than educational and will definitely make you break into continuous laughter!
2. My Water Has Broken Game
Grab a packet of tiny dolls from Etsy and freeze them into ice cubes! Once the water has melted, you water has ‘broken’.
3. The Clothes Peg Game or Don’t Call me ‘Baby’ Game
This one is really fun! As each guest arrives at the party, give them two pegs, and tell them that they need to peg them anywhere on their clothes. Once everyone has arrived, you need to explain how the game works. The aim is to be the person with the MOST pegs. You can take a peg off someone if they say a particular word (you can choose a word like “baby” or “cute” as your taboo word – something that you know people are going to say a lot!) So, if someone says the taboo word, one peg only can be taken off that person.
The person who takes the peg then pegs it to their own clothes. At the end of the party, the guest with the most pegs on their clothes is the winner!
4. The Guess the Bump Game
For this game, all you need are some wool. Guests have to estimate the circumference of the mum-to-be’s belly by taking a long piece of toilet roll paper. (If you have string, then you cut off a length of string that you estimate will fit around the mum’s pregnant belly). After each person has taken their length of paper from the roll, each person must wrap the toilet paper around the mum-to-be’s belly to measure it, and the winner is the person who is the most accurate!

5. Guess the Pureed Baby Food Game
This one involves taste testing! Buy a few jars of baby food before the party and you will also need some plastic spoons. Cover the jar labels over with some dark paper so the ingredients can’t be seen. Each guest must then take turns at tasting the baby food and writing down the ingredients they think are in the food. The person with the most correct answers at the end of the game wins!
