Oh Baby: 20 Fun Baby Shower Games and Activities to Play

Last Updated on August 24, 2022 by Project Party

A baby shower is a time to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a new baby. It’s also a time for friends and family to get together and have some fun. They are called ‘baby showers’ because they used to be a time when women would gather together to ‘shower’ the expectant mother with gifts for her new baby.

Nowadays, baby showers are a bit different. They are still a time to celebrate and give gifts, but they are also a time for baby shower games and activities. They are a chance to be real and silly and have some fun before the new baby arrives. Baby showers are a great time to share with other mums and dads-to-be about the joys, challenges and realities of raising a child.

If you’re looking for some ideas for games and activities to play at your next baby shower, you’ve come to the right place! In this blog post, we will discuss 20 fun baby shower games that everyone will enjoy.
