Planning a baby shower? It’s a blast… until you start adding up the cost of decorations, food, favors, and everything in between. But here’s the good news you don’t need a big budget to throw a fun, memorable party. One of the easiest (and cheapest) ways to keep things lively? Printable games. Totally free, endlessly customizable, and surprisingly entertaining.
Whether you’re hosting a full-blown bash, a chill living room gathering, or a virtual baby shower, printables are a no-fuss way to keep your guests laughing, chatting, and having a good time.
Below are some of the best free printable baby shower games out there plus little tips to make each one feel like your own.
1. Baby Bingo
This one’s a classic, and it still holds up. Each guest gets a bingo card filled with baby-related words diaper, pacifier, bottle, you know the drill. As gifts are opened, guests mark off words they hear. First to hit BINGO wins.
Why it’s a win: It keeps people engaged during the present unwrapping marathon even the ones who don’t know half the room.
Try this: Customize the cards with the baby’s name or color scheme to match your theme.
2. Don’t Say “Baby”
Give everyone a clothespin, sticker, or mini pin when they arrive. From that point on, the word “baby” is off-limits. If you catch someone slipping up, you take their pin. Whoever ends up with the most by the end gets a prize.
Why it works: It runs in the background, adds a little competition, and always leads to some laughs.
Pro move: Print a cute sign with the rules so guests are instantly in the loop.
3. Baby Word Scramble
Print out a sheet of scrambled-up baby words like “otrellrs” for stroller or “rekablnt” for blanket and see who can crack the code the fastest. Set a timer, and let the chaos begin.
What makes it fun: It’s light, a little silly, and just competitive enough to get people leaning in.
Extra touch: Toss in a small prize maybe a scented candle or a bar of good chocolate to sweeten the deal.
4. What’s in the Diaper?
This one’s just as gross as it sounds… but in a fun way. Melt different chocolate bars into diapers and number them. Guests have to guess what candy bar is hiding inside.
Why it’s gold: It’s weird, ridiculous, and perfect for breaking the ice especially at co-ed showers.
Quick tip: Use printable scorecards to make it feel more “official.”
5. Who Knows Mommy Best?
Put together a few offbeat questions about the mom-to-be stuff like that random food combo she couldn’t stop eating or some parenting thing she swore she’d never do (but probably will anyway). Nothing too serious, just enough to get people guessing and grinning. Whoever guesses the most right wins a prize… and some serious bragging rights.
Why it works: It’s sweet, a little sentimental, and gives everyone a chance to show how well they really know her.
Nice detail: Match your quiz sheets to the shower’s vibe whether it’s floral, minimalist, or totally over-the-top cute.
6. Guess the Baby Photo
Ask guests to bring a baby picture of themselves (or collect them in advance if you’re being sneaky). Print them on a sheet or display board. Then let everyone guess who’s who.
Why it’s great: Nostalgic, funny, and always sparks good conversation.
Helpful hint: Use a free printable display board layout to keep things neat.
7. Baby Shower Price Is Right
Print out a list of everyday baby items bottles, diapers, wipes, etc. Guests guess the price of each one. The person with the closest total (without going over!) wins.
Why it’s fun: People start to realize just how pricey parenting can get.
Shortcut: Use a pre-made printable with item suggestions already filled in. Check out more Baby Shower Games here!
8. Nursery Rhyme Quiz
Print a game sheet with partial nursery rhymes and have guests fill in the blanks. For example:
Mary had a little ___
Its fleece was white as ___
Why it works: Everyone knows at least a few, and it’s especially fun with a mixed-age crowd.
Add a twist: Include one or two modern takes or made-up rhymes for bonus laughs.
9. Baby Word Search
A big word grid filled with baby terms like onesie, bib, nap, and love. It’s chill, a little nostalgic, and surprisingly satisfying.
Why it works: Not everyone wants to be center stage, and this gives your quieter guests something fun and low-key to dig into.
Little upgrade: Toss in a few colorful pens or highlighters it weirdly makes the whole thing more satisfying.
10. Baby Shower Mad Libs
Pass around some baby-themed fill-in-the-blank stories and let guests add random nouns, verbs, whatever pops into their heads. Once the stories are filled out, read them aloud it’s almost impossible not to laugh.
Why people love it: It’s silly, easy, and weirdly great at breaking the ice.
Fun twist: Print a couple of different versions so people can trade and see whose story gets the biggest laugh.
11. Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt
Put together a checklist of baby items hidden around the space things like a pacifier, a bib, maybe even a baby sock tucked somewhere unexpected. First one (or team) to track everything down takes the win.
Why it stands out: It gets people moving, which is great for outdoor or more active showers.
Design tip: Use a printable set that matches your theme woodland, floral, neutral, whatever fits.
12. Advice & Wishes Cards
Set out simple cards where guests can scribble down their best parenting tips or sweet notes for the baby. It’s the kind of thing that ends up in a keepsake box and gets reread years later with a smile.
Why it matters: It brings a little heart into the day and gives the parents something real to hold onto.
Extra idea: Leave room for guests to doodle or leave a goofy signature it adds personality.
