We love baby showers. And what do we love more than a good baby shower? A baby shower with good games and activities. Yes, they’re going to be a little bit silly, but they can also be a whole lot of fun!

Baby showers are the perfect way to celebrate and welcome new life, as well as a fantastic opportunity to catch up with family and friends and pass on best wishes for the mum-to-be. It’s also a great excuse to put your creative hat on and entertain the guests with some unique ideas that will make your baby shower one to remember.

Take a look at our round-up of fave baby shower activities for you to try! We promise they’ll have your guests giggling and cooing with cuteness!

2. Baby Scattergories

The classic favourite that everybody knows—scattergories! The host of the game chooses a letter (maybe the first letter of the baby name if it has been revealed), sets the timer and then guests must fill in the answers until the timer runs out.
