The Best Christmas Baby Shower Games For Festive Fun
1.Winter Onesie Decorating Station
A onesie decorating station is a crafty and fun activity, no matter what season you are hosting your baby shower in.
It’s incredible easy to get setup with a few essentials – unisex plain baby onesies and decorating paints or fabric markers. The brief is to give them a festive theme!
Plus, you can never have too many onesies for your baby and guests will love this interactive activity.
2. Holiday Baby Bingo
Create bingo cards with Christmas-related pictures or words, such as Santa, reindeer, snowflakes, and gifts. As you call out the words, guests mark them off. The first to complete a line shouts “Bingo!”.
Have some festive prizes ready for the winner. You can either create your own bingo cards on places like Canva, or buy pre-made bingo cards like the ones featured below.
3. Name That Baby Song
How well do your friends and loved ones know their music?
This interactive baby shower game is lots of fun, create your very own quizzical list, or take inspiration from the below set of cards with a festive theme.
4. Dirty Diapers – Festive Edition!
It’s a classic baby shower game for a reason, this dirty diaper game will encourage laughs and a lot of fun along the way.
Instead of the traditional dirty diaper game, you can only use festive fillings that your guests have to guess! Use things such as melted chocolate, crushed up yule log, mincemeat filling etc – use your imagination!
5. Christmas Feud Game Set
We love this ‘survey says’ style game for a Christmas baby shower. These quick round games are a great ice breaker among guests, especially if a lot of people don’t know each other.
Total up everyone’s score and organise some prizes for the winner, and the loser!
6. Festive Diaper Pong
This is another classic baby shower game that can have a festive twist added to it. You could easily DIY your own setup with either a sheet of MDF, or even cardboard if you want to prop it up against the wall.
Attach diapers to the setup, get some balls at the ready and don’t forget to add some festive touches to the setup so it can double up as a fun festive backdrop too.
7. Baby Stocking Stuffers
Provide stockings and a variety of small baby items like socks, teething rings, and bibs. Guests have to guess what’s inside the stocking by feeling it. No peeking allowed!
Alternatively, guests can bring their own little presents wrapped up as an alternative to other baby shower gifts. It puts less pressure on the guests and you can give them a list of small items to buy from to keep costs low for them.
8. Winter Wonderland Scratch Cards
Whether you have a table setting or a more informal setting, give each of your guests a scratch card like the one below as they arrive.
When it’s time, get them to scratch it off, and those that reveal a snowflake get to win a prize!
9. Gingerbread House Competition
If you want to add some crafts and healthy competition to your baby shower, we couldn’t think of a better idea! Get your guests gingerbread house structures ready, have decorating supplies to hand and get them to decorate in a set amount of time!
The mama to be can judge the best gingerbread house at the end! This little set below is super cute for creating small gingerbread houses so it won’t take an entire afternoon for your guests to decorate them!
I’d recommend getting the dough cooked and assembled into houses ready so you can all get stuck straight in when it comes to the activity.
10. Christmas Diaper Messages
Diaper messages are such a lovely activity for your guests, you really can’t ever have enough diapers, and it’s the one baby shower gift from loved ones that keeps on going.
Pass each of your guests a diaper and get them to write a beautiful Christmas message, quote or word of advice on each one.
11. Christmas Baby Predictions
Lastly, it’s not a baby shower without some baby predictions to look at from your guests. These festive themed cards add a beautiful touch the day, are fun for guests to fill in and would make a great keepsake to look back on in years to come.
Whatever games you throw on your special day, we hope you have a festive fuelled day. Don’t forget to get a Christmas playlist ready for some lovely background music too!
