1. Name the Baby Poop - Fun Baby poop games
It’s simple. You get few mini chocolates and put them in the diaper and have your guests guess what chocolate it is by just looking at it and smelling it in the diaper. Have your guests write their answers on an index card or a piece of paper. Whoever guesses the most wins the game.
Make sure you squish it inside the diaper to make it look like real poop. And use the newborn size diapers since they are the smallest. (you can use the leftover ones after making a diaper cake!) Everyone will have a good kick at it looking at the diaper poop and also guessing what chocolate it is.

2. Guess What’s In The Jar - Baby Food Baby Shower Game
Get few baby jars and cover up the sides so that people won’t know what flavor it is. Place a tiny spoon so that guests can scoop up the baby food onto their plate and taste it to guess what the food is. Have your guests write down the answer on an index card or a small piece of paper. Whoever guesses the most wins the game.
Make sure you get ones where two different flavors are mixed in so that it makes it even more interesting for the guests!

3. Guess Mom’s belly baby shower game
Get a yarn and a pair of scissors and have your guests guess how big the new mom to be’s belly is. The yarn will go around the new mom’s belly and whoever guesses closest to the mom’s belly size, wins the game. Get each guest to cut the yarn and put their name. I have used a masking tape and a sharpie to get them to write their name and put it on their yarn.

4. Play Doh Baby shower game
Have your guests create a baby with play doh. The new mom to be gets to select the winner by choosing her favorite baby play doh. It brings back the memory of childhood and it’s so fun to see what people come up with. You can buy the play doh party pack and muffin liner to get play doh baby made. I displayed on this cupcake stand I got from Amazon. Your guests will sure enjoy playdough baby shower game and the new mom will have a good kick out of the game!

5. Chop Binky
Each guest uses a chopstick in their mouth to lift up the binky. You can only use your mouth and chopstick to lift up the binky. Whoever gets the most number of binky on their chopstick wins the game. You would need a pacifier that has a loop holder like this one.

6. BOTTLE CHUG baby shower game
Get a small baby bottle and fill up the bottle with any kind of juice. And whoever finishes the bottle first wins the game OR whoever finishes the MOST wins the game. Note that these baby bottles are extremely hard to suck so pour VERY little juice in it or time it for people to suck hard and measure who drank the most. It will be an engaging and fun game for guests who get to drink from a baby bottle! Great co-ed baby shower game and get men to come out and race against each other!

7. Play Price Is Right baby shower game
Have your guests play ‘Price is Right’ game with baby products. Whoever was the closest to the real cost of the product wins each point and whoever has the most points win. If you want a quick way to purchase already made 'Price Is Right' baby shower game cards, you can check out one from Amazon here.
8. Play Baby Pictionary baby shower game
There are two ways to play this game. One is preparing a few pictionary words and putting them on the index card. And split the guests into two groups. Each group gets a turn on acting out the word on the index card and the rest of the team member guesses the word. Whichever team guesses the most wins the game.
The other way is by playing emoji pictionary game. Each guest guesses what the word is by just looking at the emojis on the game card.
I personally like the real pictionary game where you get to act out and have your team guess it. It’s so fun to watch and participate!
9. Diaper Pong Baby Shower Game
Diaper Pong baby shower game is all the trend these days. They are fun and engaging and interactive for guests to enjoy their time at the baby shower. It can be played as a team game, and everyone can join in the fun!
While you can decorate it really fun and beautiful, using the balloon garlands and a stand like the ones below, you can also make a DIY diaper pong baby shower game using trifold foam display board.
Guests will throw balls (you can decide how many turns they get) and try to make it into a diaper that has the highest score, and whoever scores the highest will win the game.
Wrapping diapers around a cup will make it easier for guests to actually score a ball in the diaper!
