🎉 Fun Baby Shower Activities & Games
Make your “We Can Bearly Wait” baby shower even more memorable with the below engaging games and activities:
- Beer Belly or Baby Bump – Have a printable for this game ready and have your guests identify which one is a beer belly and which image is a baby bump
- Longest bear hug – Pair up the guests and have them give each other the longest bear hug – play soft music during the activity. The last pair standing is the winner
- Guess the bears in the jar – Fill a jar with gummy bears and have the guests guess the number of bears in the jars – the one to get it right / closest to the number is the winner.
- Who is more likely to – Give the mumma and papa to be each one set of lips and moustache cutout. I make them glitter Styrofoam and put it up on a wooden skewer / chopstick. Ask them questions and let them and the guests answer the questions to this fun game. To get the entire list of questions for the “Who is more likely to” game, click here.
- Baby Shower Bingo – Begin play by the designated bingo leader calling a word from the calling sheet. Each guest marks the called word on their card. Continue until a guest has covered 5 rows of words in any direction – vertically, horizontally, or diagonally and calls out “BINGO!”. You can find this game here.
