12 DIY Baby Shower Games

If you’re looking to add a creative and personal touch to your baby boy shower, DIY games are such a fun way to get everyone involved. These hands-on activities aren’t just about entertainment.

They’re thoughtful, interactive, and leave the mom-to-be with sweet memories and keepsakes she’ll treasure. From decorating onesies to sharing heartfelt wishes, these ideas bring meaning to every moment.

1. Blindfolded Diaper Changing Game

This one always gets the biggest laughs. Set out a few baby dolls, some diapers, and a blindfold. Guests take turns racing to change the diaper without seeing a thing. You can time them or just let the group vote on the best (or funniest) attempt. It’s easy to set up and works great for outdoor showers too. Just add a cute chalkboard sign and you’ve got a fun station guests will keep coming back to.

2. Onesie Decorating Station

Create a DIY area with plain white onesies in different sizes, fabric markers, iron-on patches, and cute baby boy-themed embellishments. Let guests design their own look — whether it’s silly, sweet, or stylish. The mom-to-be will leave with a bunch of custom outfits for her little guy.

3. Animal-Shaped Wishes for Baby

This is one of those keepsake-worthy activities that everyone loves. Set up a table with colorful animal-shaped cards and pens, then invite guests to write a heartfelt note, blessing, or piece of advice for the baby. After the shower, clip each one to string with mini clothespins and create a display mom can take home. It’s simple, meaningful, and makes the decor extra special.

4. Baby Animal Note Station

Print out little animal-shaped cards and place them on a table with colorful pens. Ask each guest to write a sweet note, wish, or bit of advice for the mom-to-be. Hang them up on a clothesline strung across a wooden frame using mini pegs. It’s meaningful, pretty, and easy to set up.

5. What’s in Your Purse?

This game always gets laughs. Create a fun list of items guests might have in their purses — from the usual to the totally random. Print the list on themed paper to match your party and hand it out with pens. Guests check off what they have and total up their points. The more unusual the item, the more fun it gets.

6. B is for Belly

Hand out colorful string or twine to each guest and have them guess the size of the mom-to-be’s belly. They can cut or tie the string to the length they think is right. Then, measure her belly and see who got the closest. It’s simple, sweet, and always a great photo moment.

7. The Price Is Right

This one’s always a hit. Create a list of common baby items like diapers, bottles, onesies, wipes, or a crib, and have guests guess how much each item costs. They write their answers down, and the person who comes closest without going over wins a prize. The best part? Some of the guesses will be way off, which makes it even more fun.

8. Five Little Ducks

This game is played in pairs as well. Give each pair a bucket full of small ducks like this one and set up an empty bucket across the room.

One player on each team should stand on one side of the room. Their partner should stand in the middle of the room between their partner and the empty bucket.

To play, the first player on the team has to toss ducks over their partner’s head (who has to duck) and try and land them in the basket on the other side of the room. First team to land five ducks wins.

9. Don’t Say ‘Baby’

Test your self control and see who can resist saying the word ‘baby’ in this exciting game! At the start, each guest gets a 3 pegs. Everyone then has to avoid saying ‘baby’ while trying to make the others slip up. Whoever utters the forbidden word has to give up their peg. It’s a battle of willpower and it’s sure to bring lots of laughter and fun. Don’t Say ‘Baby’ is a great way to break the ice among guests who don’t know each other. It’s perfect for any baby shower and works great with larger groups too!

10. Baby is Brewing Baby Shower! Game set-up!

It was fun designing and throwing a co-ed baby shower yesterday. It was a surprise and therefore, all the planning and how-tos were under a wrap! Here are the final pics!

11. Wishes for the Baby Boy

Set up a sweet station with notecards or printed “Wishes for Baby” cards, along with colorful pens or markers. Guests can write heartfelt wishes, advice, or a funny note to the baby boy or mom-to-be. After the shower, gather them into a keepsake book or jar for a memory she’ll treasure.

12. Guess the Baby Photo

Ask guests to bring a baby photo of themselves. Pin them to a board and number each one. Then let everyone guess who’s who. It’s a great conversation starter and full of laughs, especially when people try to match baby faces to grown-up guests.
