10. Baby Word Scramble

Create a list of scrambled baby-related words such as “reipda” (diaper), “rellorts” (stroller), or “elttob” (bottle). Set a time limit and have guests unscramble as many words as possible.

This simple paper-and-pen game works well for mixed-age groups and is easy to customize to match your baby shower theme.

Tips for Hosting Successful Baby Shower Games

To make sure your games run smoothly, keep these helpful tips in mind:

1. Keep it simple. Choose games that are easy to explain and quick to play.

2. Offer small prizes. Candles, chocolates, mini gift cards, or self-care items make great incentives.

3. Mix active and seated games. Balance high-energy activities like relay races with calmer games like bingo or trivia.

4. Be mindful of guests. Consider the age range and personalities of attendees. Some may prefer low-pressure games that don’t require public speaking.

5. Stay organized. Prepare materials in advance, including printed sheets, pens, props, and prizes.
