5 Quick and Easy Baby Shower Games for Kids and Adults

If you are hosting a shower and want it to feel fun for everyone, these are the easy baby shower games I played to celebrate a friend having baby girl number three. Every single one of them is cheap, simple to throw together, and works for both kids and adults, which mattered a lot to me since we invited the whole family. If you saw how I put the party together, this is the game list I promised in my pink and gold baby shower setup, so grab a snack and let me walk you through all five.

1. How Many Candies Are in the Jar

This is the classic guess how many candies baby shower game, and it is always a hit. I filled a glass jar with the cutest pink and white candies printed with little baby girl designs, and everyone wrote down their guess. The person closest to the real number wins the whole jar. My 10 year old actually won this one, and when I asked my Instagram followers to guess too, almost everyone was way off. Want to know the total? It was 589. Nobody believes me until they see it.

2. Baby Bottle Chug

The baby bottle chug game is exactly what it sounds like: everyone gets a baby bottle and races to drink it first. Here is my tip, do not overfill them. I only put a shot glass worth of apple juice in each one because drinking through a bottle nipple takes way longer than you think. Seriously, how do babies do it? We split this into an adults round and a kids round so it was fair, and the whole room was cracking up.

 3. Break the Ice

For this one I froze mini plastic babies inside ice cubes ahead of time, and everyone had to melt their cube with just their hands to free the baby. First person to break the ice and get their baby out wins. It is a little bit messy and a whole lot of fun, and it is one of those fun baby shower games that gets everyone laughing and shaking their hands like crazy. Just have a towel nearby.

4. Guess Who, Mommy or Daddy

This little printable questionnaire was one of my favorites. It asks who is more likely to do certain things, and everyone guesses whether mom or dad picked each answer. Whoever gets the most right wins. My 7 year old won this one and beat every adult and kid in the room, which was hilarious. After everyone filled theirs out, mom and dad read their real answers out loud, and that reveal was the best part. If you want baby shower games for adults that still let the kids join in and actually win, this is the one.

5. Mini Baby Hide and Seek

I hid 100 mini plastic babies all over the main party area, and everyone had to search for as many as they could. We went in age order, youngest first, and started the next person about 10 seconds later. Kids go wild for tiny little things like this, so they had an absolute blast hunting them down. It is a great one to end on because everyone is up and moving, and it works for any age.

Why These Baby Shower Games Work for Everyone

The reason I love this whole lineup is that not one of them is complicated or expensive, and every single one works whether you are 7 or 47. When you invite the dads and the kids like I do, you need baby shower games for large groups that anyone can jump into without a long explanation. These five check every box: cheap, quick to set up, and genuinely fun for the whole family. If you still need to pull the decor together, you can see exactly how I styled everything in my baby girl shower decorations post.

Save These for Your Next Shower

At the end of the day, the games are what turn a pretty party into a party people actually remember. These five got every person in the room laughing, from my youngest to the grandparents, and that is exactly the kind of afternoon I want to give the people I love. So pin this list, grab a few cheap supplies, and get ready to watch a 7 year old beat all the adults. Trust me, it happens. Whether you are throwing a big family shower or a cozy little one, these games will make the whole day feel special, and that is what celebrating a new baby is really all about.
