When it comes to hosting your baby shower, we’re sure you’ll agree that the games and entertainment require a huge amount of focus. Why? Because without it, your guests will feel more demanding to you and your host and it will start to feel like a chore looking after everyone, instead of occupying them with some of these fun and quick baby shower games! Besides, who doesn’t love a good distraction?
We like to consider ourselves true hostesses-with-the-mostest here at Cotier Brand, and we want to share our party wisdom with you as much as we can. So, grab a cuppa joe and take a nice, leisurely scroll through these unique baby shower games. Oh, and don’t forget to take notes!
1. Don’t Say Baby
Don’t Say Baby is an awesome icebreaker and a great way to kick off our list of quick baby shower games! Ask your guests to listen out for the other guests and try to catch them saying, “Baby”. If they do, deduct a point or remove their pin – like this Etsy sign suggests. And remember, don’t say baby!
2. Best Wishes For Baby
This is easily one of our favorite quick baby shower games as it brings you and your guests together for a moment of kindness and gratitude towards your future child. Print off this minimalistic Wishes For Baby template from Etsy and have your guest write down their wishes – making a wonderful keepsake for you and baby.

3. Did Baby Poopie?
Okay, so we may be a little biased here but… No baby shower is complete without our very own baby shower game: Did Baby Poopie? It’s the ultimate entertainment for any baby shower and it’s so easy to play. Simply hand out each of the lottery scratch-off cards to your guests and ask them to scratch their ticket to reveal what’s underneath…
If any player reveals a poop emoji, then they’re instantly a winner and must scream the word, “POOP!”

4. Who’s That Baby?
Another icebreaker – and a very quick baby shower game – is Who’s That Baby? Ask each guest to send you a baby photo and drop them all into this easy-to-use Etsy template – be sure to print it off ahead of time. Hand one out to each guest and set the timer for five minutes to watch the hilarity commence!

5. Baby Shower Word Scramble
Baby Shower Word Scramble is exactly what it says on the tin! Simply purchase one of these gorgeous templates from Etsy and print enough for the number of guests attending your baby shower. Hand them out before timing your guests – and go for five minutes if you want to make it super hard. The guest to unscramble the most words wins!
6. Newborn Baby Bib Decorating
Some may argue this is more of a baby shower activity than a quick baby shower game, but we say potato-potato! Newborn bib decorating is a must at any baby shower as not only is it a bonding exercise, baby gets a whole bunch of new clothes to wear! Be sure to set up a designated station, though – things tend to get a little messy!
7. Baby Shower Bingo
When it comes to classic – and quick – baby shower games, Baby Shower Bingo is a clear winner. It’s simple: hand out these print-at-home templates from Etsy to each of your guests, open your baby shower gifts and watch them cross off one-by-one. Once a guest has crossed off five gifts in a row, they must shout, “BINGO!” to win.
8. Name That Baby Tune
A quick and easy baby shower game designed for trivia lovers, Name That Baby Tune is fool-proof. Before your baby shower, create a music playlist of all the best baby hits – anything that uses the word “baby” in the lyrics. Hand out one of these Etsy templates (pre-printed, of course) to each guest and get the music playing. After each snippet, get your guests to write down their answers until the round is done. The most correct answers win!
9. The Baby Bucket List
During your baby shower, bring out a small box and ask each guest to write down something on this gorgeous Baby Bucket List template from Etsy that they hope to happen for your baby-to-be in their lifetime. It’s a wonderful keepsake for the years to come and we have no doubt you’ll love some of the ideas they come up with!

10. Cupcake Decorating Contest
Something to ease the hunger pangs before lunch, this Cupcake Decorating Contest is an awesome baby shower game to have on call. Have a bunch of cupcakes pre-ordered and laid out on a table and pick up some decorating supplies like this 172-piece kit from Etsy. Get everyone seated around the table and get decorating! The best-looking cupcake wins the kit for future creations!
11. Baby Shower Trivia
Much like the classic game, Baby Shower Trivia is a brilliantly quick baby shower game designed to get your guests’ brains ticking. Purchase this cute Baby Trivia template from Etsy – which has all the questions ready for you! – and hand one out to each guest. The guest(s) with the most correct answers wins a prize of your choice!
12. Price Is Right
The Price Is Right is another quick and easy baby shower game, ready and waiting to get some competition flowing between guests – we’re looking at you, baby mommas! Hand out each of these printed templates from Etsy for ease and be sure to pick up each item on the list from your local store with a receipt for proof. Ask each guest to fill out their price estimates and – you guessed it! – the guest with the most closely correct answers wins!
13. Baby Shower Pictionary
Last but not least on our list of fun and quick baby shower games is Baby Shower Pictionary. While the classic uses charade-style play, these creatively modernized templates from Etsy make use of emojis in place. Hand out a page to each guest and time them for 10 minutes. The guest with the most correct answers wins a prize – and some serious tech-cred!
