Never Have I Ever

Sit in a circle. Begin with one person saying, "Never have I ever…" and finishing with something they have never done. (Traveled to Africa, eaten escargot, and the like all work.) If someone has done it, they must hold up one finger; if no one in the group has done it, the person saying "Never have I ever…" must hold up a finger. Continue around the circle until one person has three fingers up: They're out. This party game can get as racy as you make it, so play carefully and set ground rules ahead of time if sensitive grandparents, kids, or conservative guests are involved.

Heads Up!

This game requires an app: The Heads Up! app is available from the App Store and Google Play. After the 99-cent purchase and download, though, you have hours of entertainment on-hand at all times. (In-app purchases are also available.) One person will hold a phone to their forehead, facing out. Everyone else will act out or describe whatever appears on the screen while the person with the phone guesses. They have one minute to make as many correct guesses as possible, and then the phone goes on to the next person. Categories include animals, movies, public figures and celebrities, and more.

Musical Chairs

Okay, it's a popular party game for kids, but adults can also get in on the fun. Set up chairs (or seat cushions) in a circle facing outward, with enough seating for everyone playing, minus one. Designate one person as the music player and have everyone else stand in a circle around the circle of seats. When the music starts, walk around the seats; everyone must find a seat when the music ends. Whoever doesn't is out. Remove one more chair and begin again, until two people are fighting for one seat. To make musical chairs more interesting, add your own rules. Allow people to sit on top of each other (as long as their feet are off the floor), for example, or make your own alterations.

baby showers should have 3-5 games,  1-2 prizes per game or even just one. can be some cheap things from amazon or even some bouji things. I've put some examples down below of what you could get too if you feel like going all out but I do suggest sticking to a budget and don't over think it, you can get some really basic prizes too, end of the day you're the main focus.

Bouji Games:

1. Goodie Jars

This option is super simple and one everyone will enjoy. Fill a mason jar with things like nail polishes, lip balm, and under eye patches for a great DIY gift that screams “at-home pamper night.”

Set of Wine Glasses

Gift them something they’ll get plenty of use out of. Most attendees will likely have a regular set of wine glasses they use at home. Instead of going that route, we think it would be fun to gift a silicone pair that they can take with them out of the house.

Bath Bombs

The perfect baby shower prize doesn’t have to be extravagant. That’s why we love bath bombs. They’re enjoyable for everyone and give the winner an excuse to take a break with a nice hot bath.

Hand Cream

The best baby shower game prizes are things the guests would want but wouldn’t usually buy for themselves. A set of nice hand creams is something everyone will love, but isn’t something they’d regularly opt for buying themselves—AKA, the perfect treat! something like body shop or amazon i can place an link example: https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/hands/hand-moisturisers/british-rose-petal-soft-hand-cream/p/p000628

Lip Balm
you can get this literally anywhere

Candles

I know I can’t be the only one who firmly believes you can never have too many candles. Of course, every baby shower guest will have their own scent preferences. However, it’s usually a safe bet to go with common scents like lavender, lemon, or vanilla. And it helps that candles come in so many pretty varieties these days, meaning they can fit into home decor seamlessly!

Colouring book

Colouring is not just for kids any more! Adult colouring in books have become such a huge hit in recent years as the activity is so relaxing.

There are so many gorgeous colouring books – from botanical themed to royal themed – on the market, you just need to pick the ones you like the best. Add a small pack of colouring pencils too to finish off the prize.

Poundland Prizes
You can get prizes from poundland also, including all the suggested prior, things such as colouring books, a pack of pens, toys and as many as you're comfortable having, and this is okay for both adults and kids.

Sweet treats

Get some party favour paper bags or plastic bags and parcel up some sweet treats.

You could get marshmallows – try pink or blue if you know what sex the baby is – or try jelly babies.

Picture frames

You can pick up cheap picture frames at IKEA or in bulk online.

This is a nice, versatile prize as the guest could add a picture from the baby shower to remember the special occasion or any image of their choice.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

-William Shakespeare

Well, apparently not in my family. Seems as if we ALL like the SAME names. And I'm not even talking family names, like using dear little grandma's or great grandpa's name but random, no connection at all, names.

For example, when pregnant with our first, I LOVED the name "Ellie May" for a little girl. My husband and I decided on that name and we didn't tell
A
SINGLE

SOUL!

My sister and her husband were also expecting and had been telling everyone for months that their little baby girl's name was to going to be "Payton". My sister had her baby four months before me and chose the name . . .

Ellie.

How in the world?! That wasn't even on their radar? Fortunately for us, we had a little boy. But if we are ever blessed with a little girl (prayers appreciated) does anyone have a cute name they'd be willing to share? 🙂

There is another incident of a sister using a name another sister had already claimed ( I have 6 sisters). Sooo, there are two cousins with the same name and they are but a few months apart.

Funny story about that, my niece, from my oldest sister, told her aunt that she had stolen her baby brother's name. Her aunt responded back that her baby was born first. My niece thought for a moment and declared "Oh, then I guess my mom stole your baby's name!"

I also have a niece on my husband's side with my name and my husband's name has also been re-used. So apparently we don't branch out much.

If your family is anything like mine, this baby name race game would be perfect at an upcoming baby shower! It definitely helps people think outside the box.

FREE OWL BABY SHOWER GAME

The rules are quite straightforward. Everyone writes names that begins with each letter in the alphabet. The first person to finish wins. You could even take it to another level, if your group is smaller, by not giving points to those that have the same name written. Just to add a little bit of fun.

Do you like my new little owl design? He is pretty cute, if I do say so myself. 😉

As with any party, the best baby showers are those where the conversation is lively and time seems to fly. And nothing does that better than a few well-chosen baby shower games. We've rounded up our favorites, from co-ed baby shower games that all your guests will enjoy, to easy baby shower games you can pull off in a moment's notice and even unique baby shower games that'll impress even the most jaded of guests. Scroll down for a roundup for fun baby shower games ideas, and get ready for some entertainment!

The best baby shower games are first and foremost fun. After all, what's the point of playing if it isn't? But more than that, many of these baby shower games made the "best" list because the put the focus on just on baby but on the mom-to-be as well, and often the guests too. This way, everyone has a chance to be the center of attention. Hint: Have more than one baby shower prize ready for each game, just in case!

Who Knows Mommy Best?

This fun baby shower game has friends and family members vying to prove who knows the most about the mom-to-be. It calls for very little prep and is easy to play with a big crowd, making it one of the best baby shower games around.

What you need: Paper and pen for each guest.

Before the party: Find out as much as possible about the mother-to-be's childhood. Write your questions and her answers down on a sheet of paper, and don't show anyone.

How to play: Read your list of questions out loud and have guests write their answers down on paper. Whoever has the highest number of correct answers wins.

Real guests say: "Most of the shower is about the little guy or girl to come, so it's nice to focus on mom for a bit too. She is the one being honored!"- Randi G.

How Old Was She?

Here's another baby shower game that shines a spotlight on Mom. This one does take a little bit of prep, but everyone is sure to get a kick out of seeing childhood photos of the guest of honor. (Awkward school pictures, anyone?)

What you need: Several pictures of the mother-to-be all at different ages, plus paper and a pen for each guest.

Before the party: Ask the guest of honor for past pictures of herself at different ages. Arrange them on a poster board or table with a number next to each.

How to play: Ask guests to write down how old they think the mom-to-be was in each picture. Whoever gets the most right wins.

Are You That Baby?

In need of baby shower games ideas that don't put the mom-to-be at the center of so much attention? (After all, not everyone craves the limelight.) This fun game flips the focus onto guests!

What you need: Poster board and tape (or cork board and tacks), a copy of your guests' baby pictures (ask for one in the invite), paper and pen for each guest.

Before the party: Arrange and adhere your guests' baby pictures into a collage on a poster or cork board. Keep a secret master list of who's who.

How to play: Ask guests to jot down their guesses as to who's who in the pictures. Whoever gets the most correct wins.

My Water Broke!

This is a classic, and for good reason-it's a fun baby shower game that's easy enough to pull off and gets everyone at the party involved (and brings out people's competitive streaks).

Before the party: Put a plastic baby into each cube, then fill with water and freeze.

How to play: Give each guest a drink with a baby-filled ice cube in it. The object of this baby shower game is to melt the ice and get the plastic baby out-in whatever way guests can think of. Whoever gets their baby out first shouts "my water broke!" and is the winner.

Real guests say: "It was fun to watch the ladies chisel their way to their water breaking. But hint: Don't allow hot beverages on the table during the game. People can be sly!" - Joyce D.

Find the Guest!

The best baby shower games serve as ice-breakers and encourage your guests to mingle and get to know one another-and this one does just that!

What you need: A computer and printer, and paper and pen for each guest.

Before the party: Write up a list of various fun facts that could apply to many of your guest. For example, "Went to so-and-so college," "owns a Volvo," "has a child under 3," etc. Have a copy of the list waiting on each guest's seat.

How to play: Each guest will have to get to know each other quickly to find people who fall into the various categories. The person who meets enough guests to be able to tick off the most fun facts wins.

Guess the Candy Bar

The "Guess the Candy Bar" baby shower game is renowned. Some people love it, some people would rather pass. Either way, it's probably one of the funniest baby shower games ever conceived.

What you need: Diapers, a variety of mini-chocolate bars, and pen and paper for each guest.

Before the party: Melt different kinds of mini-chocolate bars and pour one kind on each of the diapers.

How you play: Have guests sniff (or even dip a finger to taste) the chocolates and guess which kind is on each diaper. The winner is whoever guesses the most chocolates correctly. Weird? A little bit. But then again, who can resist the power of chocolate?

Guess the Baby Food

Who has the most sensitive nose among you? (Our guess is the mom-to-be-pregnancy has a way of heightening your sense of smell.) This fun baby shower game puts people's sniffers (and food knowledge) to the test.

What you need: Unlabeled jars, pureed baby food and paper and pen for each guest.

Before the party: Fill each of your unlabeled jars with a different kind of baby food (and make sure to keep track!).

How to play: Distribute paper and pens to guests, then ask them to smell each jar of puree and jot down which foods they think are inside. (If you want to make it especially tricky, have them do this blindfolded!)

Real guest say: "My daughter-she's 7-especially loved this one, because she can understand food! Haha. In fact, she won the game." - Kimberly D.

What's Mommy Craving?

Pregnancy does more than just amp up women's sense of smell-it can also spark the funniest food cravings. This baby shower game has guests guessing what's been on Mom's menu of late.

What you need: Paper and pen for each guest.

Before the party: No prep needed.

How to play: Mom-to-be describes all the strange things she's been craving, one by one, without actually saying the name of the food. The guests write down what they think each one is. Whoever has the most right wins.

The Left Right Game

In this popular baby shower game, it's not just the mom-to-be who gets presents! It's fast-paced, exciting and ends in a fun prize for the lucky winner.

What you need: A story that heavily features the words "left" and "right" and a wrapped prize.

How to play: Have your guests pull their chairs into a circle. Once they're situated, give a guest the wrapped prize and start reading the story out loud. Every time you read the words "left" or "right" (and the story will have plenty of mentions), guests have to pass the prize either to their left or right. The person holding the prize when the story ends gets to keep it!

Emoji Anagrams

Looking for modern baby shower games? It doesn't get more millennial than this. The baby shower emoji game takes the classic anagrams game and gives it an up-to-date twist, using emojis instead of words.

What you need: A list of emoji anagrams and a pen for each guest.

Before the party: Print out or order lists of emoji anagrams for each guest.

How to play: Instruct guests to try and guess the (baby-related) words or phrases that are written out in emojis, and fill their answers out on the sheet. The person who gets the most correct wins.

Just about all the baby shower games in this article can be enjoyed by everyone-male or female. But if you're hosting an event for men and women and plan to have both Mom- and Dad-to-be present, these are some of our favorite baby shower games for couples and coeds.

The Mommy or Daddy Game

Looking for the best baby shower games for couples? This one might just top the list. Guests take a fun Mom vs. Dad quiz, and then the mom- and dad-to-be weigh in with their responses. You can prep a quiz sheet and have prizes at the ready, or just have people shout out their answers and keep things casual-whatever floats your boat.

What you need: A computer and printer or copy machine, and paper and pen for each guest.

Before the party: Type out a list of 10 to 20 questions that can be answered with "mom" or "dad" (Who's never changed a diaper before? Who has always gotten at least eight hours of sleep every night?). Print it out and have enough copies for all the guests.

How to play: Hand out the list of questions to each guest. Once everyone has jotted down their answers, invite the mom- and dad-to-be up front, read the questions out loud and have them give their responses. Whichever guest answers the most correctly gets a prize.

The Price Is Right Baby Shower Game

Everyone knows that having a baby is expensive, but how much do baby supplies really cost? See which guests are savvy shoppers with this spinoff of The Price is Right. It's one of the most popular baby shower games around.

What you need: Paper, pens and a computer and printer or copy machine.

Before the party: Write a list of baby items and specific quantities (say, a box of 88 Pampers Swaddlers) on a sheet of paper and make enough copies for all your guests.

Blind Diaper Changing Challenge

As the modern saying goes, "real men change diapers"-so put the skills of your coed crew to the test in this fast-paced and funny baby shower diaper game.

What you need: Two life-size baby dolls, two blindfolds and one diaper for each guest, plus two extras.

Before the party: Place a diaper on each doll.

How to play: Have guests separate into teams. Each team gets a doll, blindfold and diapers. The first person in line for each team must put the blindfold on, remove the diaper on the doll and replace it with a new one. After the first team members are done, the next person in line goes, and so on. The first team to finish wins.

Watch What You Say

If you're a big Mad Libs fan, you're going to love this cheeky coed baby shower game. Get ready for lots of laughs (and maybe even some blushing).

What you need: Paper and pen.

Before the party: No prep needed.

How to play: Write down the exclamations the mother-to-be says when opening her presents. ("Oh how cute!" "Look how tiny!") Once she's done, hold up the sheet of paper and announce: "This is what she said the night the baby was conceived." Then have her read it aloud for all the guests to hear. It's an especially fun baby shower game if the dad-to-be is present!

Baby Bump Balloon Pop

This game gives new meaning to the phrase "she's about to pop." Especially entertaining with a coed group, this is a team-based baby shower game that gets everyone up and moving.

What you need: Balloons and pins for each guest.

Before the party: No prep needed.

How to play: Nothing feels more festive than baby shower games with balloons-especially when you're making lots of noise. For this one, separate guests into teams and give each a balloon. When the host says "go!" the first person from each team must blow up their balloon and stick it under their shirt. Once they're done, the second person on each team does the same, then the third, and so on. Once all team members have balloons under their shirts, the first person must pop their balloon, then the second, and third, etc. The team who blows up and pops their balloons the fastest wins.

Hello, My Name Is...

While some baby shower games make a point of helping guests learn one another's names, this one pretty much does the exact opposite-to hilarious effect. If you choose to penalize people a penny every time they slip up, baby might just end up with a little nest egg!

What you need: Name tags (one for each guest), a marker and a piggy bank.

Before the party: Mark each name tag with a baby-related word.

How to play: Have each guest put on a name tag when they arrive. During the shower, people can be called only by their name tag name. If a guest calls someone by their first name, they have to put coins into a piggy bank for the baby.

Do You Know What It Is?

Nope, we're not talking about the sex of the baby-we're talking about the items in the mystery grab bags. It's a great baby shower game for guys and girls alike.

What you need: 10 paper bags, 10 baby items (pacifier, spoon, etc.) and paper and pen for each guest.

Before the party: Put one baby item into each bag and number them 1 to 10.

How to play: Give each guest a sheet of paper and a pen, then randomly pass the bags out. Guests have to write down what they think is in each bag without opening them. Once everyone has made a guess for each bag, the mom-to-be will open them one at a time and reveal what's inside. Whoever guesses the most right is the winner.

Place the Pacifier In the Baby's Mouth

Pin the Tail on the Donkey is a classic party game, but this modern take is the baby shower version. It's a perfect baby shower game for kids as well as adult men and women.

What you need: A picture of a baby, a blindfold, a picture of a pacifier, a copy machine and tape.

Before the party: Enlarge the baby picture if necessary and hang it up on the wall. Make enough copies of the pacifier picture so each guest has one (you might want to resize the pacifier so it fits the baby). Attach a piece of tape to each.

How to play: A la Pin the Tail on the Donkey, blindfold each guest and see how close they can place their pacifier picture to baby's mouth. Whoever gets the closest wins!

When it comes to baby shower games, you're probably thinking, "I've seen them all before!" (And what you haven't, Pinterest certainly has.) But there are still a few unexpected choices-especially if you're having a themed baby shower. Scroll for a roundup of the most unique baby shower games.

Searching for some Harry Potter baby shower games? Then this unique baby shower game is for you, especially if the mom-to-be would prefer not to be at the center of games. It's simple, it's sweet, and it'll set Mom up with tons of baby socks.

What you need: A large poster with "Free the House Elves!" written on it, and a basket.

How to play: Okay, this is one of those baby shower games you don't really "play"-but it's fun anyway. Have guests deposit their baby socks in the basket, and at the end of the shower, present the sock stash to the mom-to-be (who will soon appreciate them once her little one arrives).

Do You Know Your Disney Babies?

Whether you're hosting a Disney-themed baby shower or you know the parents-to-be are just big Disney fans, this fun baby shower game will have guests rushing to recall their Disney trivia.

What you need: Paper, pens and a computer and printer or copy machine.

Before the party: On the left side of a piece of paper, make a list of the names of Disney mom characters (Sarabi, Kala, Perdita, Elastagirl) and leave the right side blank. Make enough copies for all your guests.

How to play: Ask your guests to write the correct kid's name next to each mom (for example, Simba next to Sarabi). Whoever gets the most correct wins.

One-of-a-Kind Baby Shower Onesies

This creative group baby shower activity is bound to yield some unique results.

Before the party: Tack each onesie to a piece of cardboard for support and prepare any iron-on and fabric fusion options you're planning to offer guests.

How to play: Make the onesies (with attached cardboard) and decorating items available during the shower for everyone to use. This way, baby has a set of unique clothes, and mama will always remember the day.

Rubber Ducky Raffle

If you're on the hunt for baby shower games ideas that are fun but don't force guests to get overly interactive, we've got a good one for you. It's cute, it's quick and involves a whole bunch of prizes.

Before the party: Write the numbers of 10 raffle tickets on the underside of the rubber duckies. Right before the party, fill the tub with water and set the ducks afloat.

How to play: As guests arrive, give each one a raffle ticket. Throughout the baby shower, select a rubber ducky from the tub and read off the winning number, and invite the guest with the corresponding ticket to come collect their prize.

As these easy baby shower games prove, you don't have to spend a lot of time or money to have loads of fun.

Don't Say Baby!

Also known as the Clothes Pin Baby Shower Game, this game turns a well-used baby shower word taboo: Baby!

What you need: Clothespins for every guest.

Before the party: No prep needed.

How to play: As each guest arrives, have them clip the clothespin onto what they're wearing. Whenever a guest is talking to someone who says "baby," they take that person's pin and puts it on themselves. Whoever has the most pins at the end of the party wins. (An alternative is to use pacifiers on a long string instead of clothespins.)

Real guests say: "I've planned a lot of showers, and this is a great all-guest game, even for big groups. The kids at my parties especially loved it for its interactiveness." - Roland H.

Name That Baby Tune

This is an upbeat and super-easy baby shower game that calls for zero prep!

How to play: Play one children's song at a time and keep track of who can accurately guess each song name the fastest. Whoever has the most correct responses wins.

The Animal Gestation Game

What you need: Paper, pens or pencils.

Before the party: Type out a list of nursery rhyme snippets, leaving out key words and phrases, and make enough copies for all your guests.

How to play: Ask your guests to fill in the blanks. The person who completes the most correctly wins.

The one thing new moms use the most? Diapers! This easy baby shower game lets guests go home with prizes in hand and the mom-to-be feel like she's well-stocked.

What you need: Raffle tickets, a box or pail and a prize.

Before the party: When you send out the shower invitations, explain that anyone who brings a box of diapers to the shower can enter the raffle to win a prize.

How to play: As guests arrive, issue raffle tickets to those who brought diapers. Midway through the shower, pull a ticket (or two) and award that ticket holder a prize. Don't forget to gather the diapers for the mom-to-be before she leaves (she'll need all of them!).

How Many Baby Items Can You Name?

Babies need a lot of stuff. This easy baby shower game (read: no prep) asks guests to think of as many baby items as they can off the top of their head before the timer buzzes.

What you need: Paper and pen for each guest and a timer.

Before the party: No prep needed.

How to play: Each guest must write down as many baby items (bottle, pacifier, blanket, etc.) as they can think of in one minute. The person who comes up with the most items wins.

These days, baby showers aren't just for women. Sometimes called "manshowers" or "Dad-chelor parties," these celebratory events honor the dad- (or dads-) to-be and the coming baby-and yes, they often involve fun games and activities. The following are some of our favorite baby shower games for men.

Daddy Knows Best

This is a perfect baby shower game for men, since it puts all the attention on the dad-to-be and tests just how well his friends know him.

What you need: A smartphone and a computer (or a TV screen that hooks up to your computer).

How many diapers do you think your baby will go through in the first year?

Will you or your partner more likely be the parent who says "no"?

What year do you think you'll buy your first minivan?

What are you most looking forward to about being a dad?

How to play: At the baby shower, gather everyone around and play the video of the dad-to-be so all can see, but pause after each question so guests can guess the answer. "Talk about entertaining baby shower games! We all got some great laughs out of this one. And the video makes a great memento for the couple to watch years down the road," Jarrett says.

The Baby Name Game

One of the common fights among expectant couples is about what to name baby. Have your guests help brainstorm some options with this funny baby shower game.

What you need: Paper and pen for each guest and a timer.

Before the party: No prep needed.

How to play: Have each guest write any baby names they can think of in the allotted time. To make the game more difficult, you can also choose a particular letter the names should begin with. The person who comes up with the most names wins.

The Baby Bucket List

Having a baby opens up a world of fun firsts and new adventures. This game gets everyone thinking about a bucket list for the new parents. Best of all, you don't have to do anything ahead of time, making it one of the easier baby shower games to pull off.

What you need: Pen and notecard for each guest, and a bucket.

Before the party: No prep needed.

How to play: Ask guests to write down at least one thing the new dad should do in baby's first year. The suggestions could include things they wish they did with their kids, things they want to do if/when they have a baby, or things they think the parents-to-be will enjoy doing with their child-for instance, trips to take, moments to remember, advice that's often forgotten. Collect all the notecards and present them to the dad-to-be by the end of the party.

Bottle Race

With a room full of men, you can't go wrong with this funny baby shower game, also known as the Baby Shower Drinking Game. You can use any sort of beverage here, but we'll be honest, beer is a popular choice.

What you need: A baby bottle and a beverage for each guest.

Before the party: Fill each bottle with the beverage.

How to play: Each guest takes a bottle and drinks as fast as possible. The one who finishes first wins a prize. (This one's especially fun if the drink of choice is booze!)

Having a large group gathering at your shower? The more, the merrier! Baby shower games that everyone can play simultaneously-like guessing games-are the most practical way to go.

The Baby Shower ABC's

This classic baby shower game is fast-paced and exciting, and perfect for a big crowd. Plus, it calls for very little prep ahead of time!

What you need: Paper, pen, timer and a computer and printer or copy machine.

Before the party: Write the alphabet vertically down the left side of a sheet of paper. Make enough copies for all your guests.

How to play: Hand out a sheet to each guest and for each letter, have them write down a word that's associated with babies (example: B is for bottle). Whoever writes the most words in one minute is the winner.

How Well Do You Know Your TV Children?

Calling all TV buffs! How many famous children from popular shows can you name? We've made this baby shower game extra easy for you, providing you with the questions (and answers) below.

What you need: Paper, a pen and a computer and printer or copy machine.

Before the party: List the questions below on a sheet of paper, and make enough copies for your guests.

A. What was the name of Fred and Wilma's child on The Flintstones?
B. What were the names of Ross Geller's two children on Friends?
C. What were the names of the three kids on The Simpsons?
D. What were the names of the four children on Family Ties?
E. What were the names of the five Huxtable kids on The Cosby Show?
F. What were the names of the six kids on The Brady Bunch?

How to play: Hand out the questions and ask your guests to respond to as many as they can. Whoever answers the most correctly wins. (The answers are: a. Pebbles; b. Ben and Emma; c. Bart, Maggie and Lisa; d. Alex, Mallory, Jennifer, Andy; e. Sondra, Denise, Theo, Vanessa and Rudy; f. Marcia, Jan, Cindy, Greg, Peter and Bobby.)

Oh Baby, A Playlist!

There are a ton of songs out there that mention the word "baby"-but how fast is your recall? This is an easy baby shower game to play with a crowd, but it's still high-energy and loads of fun.

What you need: Paper and pen for each guest.

Before the party: No prep needed.

How to play: Each guest must write down as many songs they can think of with the word "baby" in the title. Give the guests a time limit-five minutes max-and whoever has the most (real!) songs written down is the winner.

What's in Your Purse?

A woman's purse is a mysterious thing-but not for long! Here, guests reveal what's in their bag for game points to win a prize. Since you don't need any props to play, it's an ideal baby shower game for large groups.

What you need: A computer and printer or copy machine, and paper and pen for each guest.

Before the party: Make a list of things that people might (or might not) have in their purse and assign a number of points next to them. For instance, lipstick is one point. Hand sanitizer is three points. Print out enough lists for everyone.

How to play: Give each guest the list of objects. If a guest has it in her purse, she should circle the corresponding number of points. Then have guests count up their points, and whoever has the most wins. If you're looking for more modern baby shower games ideas, just convert this one to "What's on Your Phone?"

Baby Shower Scramble

This baby shower game is a fan-favorite. After all, who doesn't love solving a puzzle-especially when it's baby-themed?

What you need: Paper, pens, a timer and a computer and printer or a copy machine.

Before the party: Decide on a few baby words, then jumble up the spelling on a sheet of paper to create anagrams. Make a copy for each guest.

How to play: Place a sheet of paper at every seat, and at some point during the party, put aside a minute to see how fast people can unscramble them. The person who figures out the most words in a minute wins.

Many baby showers include kids on the invite list-and while many of the best baby shower games are kid-friendly, not all of them are totally appropriate. These fun, interactive, PG picks make perfect baby shower games for kids.

Yum, Applesauce!

It's not just toddlers who can't get enough of applesauce-big kids love it too! They'll get plenty of giggles out of this funny baby shower game that's likely to get a bit messy.

What you need: Large plastic garbage bags, scissors, jars of applesauce, baby spoons and blindfolds.

Before the party: Cut holes in the bottom of the bags so they can be worn like a poncho.

How to play: Separate guests into teams of two. Have guests put trash bags over their clothes, then blindfold everyone. Give a jar of applesauce and two spoons to each team and have them feed each other. Whichever team finishes their applesauce first is the winner.

Pass The Pacifier

Here's another high-energy, team-based baby shower game the kids are bound to get a kick out of.

What you need: Straws and pacifiers with handles.

Before the party: No prep needed.

How to play: Separate guests into teams of four or five and have them stand in a line with a straw in their mouths. The first person in line puts the pacifier onto their straw. When the host says "go!", the first person passes the pacifier to the next person in line, straw to straw, no hands allowed. Have them continue down the line. Whichever team reaches the end of the line first wins.

Find the Socks!

This is one of the rare times when kids will actually want to help pair socks-so take full advantage!

What you need: 14 pairs of baby socks and a timer.

Before the party: No prep needed.

How to play: Put all the baby socks, unpaired, in a pile on the floor. Each guest must match as many socks as they can in one minute. The person who matches the most socks is the winner.

Baby Shower Grab

Who can work quickly and carefully under pressure? You'll find out in this fun baby shower game. It's great for adults and kiddos alike.

What you need: Baby clothes, hangers, baby clothes pins and a timer.

Before the party: Clip multiple baby clothes onto a hanger using the clothespins. Place the hanger, with clothes, on a hook. Have one hanger of clothes for each guest.

How to play: Have each guest place one hand behind their back as they try to remove as many pieces of clothing as possible without dropping the clothes or the clothes pins. Whoever can get the most off in under a minute wins.

Pass The Dirty Diaper

This is hands-down one of the best baby shower games for kids. After all, this baby shower diaper game is actually a riff off the classic children's game of hot potato.

What you need: Chocolate, a diaper and a music playlist.

Before the party: Melt the chocolate and pour onto the diaper.

How to play: Everyone sits in a circle and passes the "dirty" diaper around as the music plays. Then: hot potato! Whoever's holding the diaper when the music stops is out of the game. Last guest standing is the winner.
