Baby shower games with nothing to print
Most baby shower games need printed sheets, pens and someone to mark the answers. These ones run on one phone: the host opens a game, passes the phone round, and the scoring is done for you.
Every pick has a family-friendly Baby shower card pack with prams, lullabies, night feeds and first steps. It’s available all year in each game’s Categories.
The 5 best games
1. Imposter (3+ players)
Baby words like Onesie, Stork and Baby monitor, with one guest bluffing. A great icebreaker for guests who have just met.
- Pass the phone round. Each player taps their card to see the secret word, then hides it.
- One player sees “Imposter” instead (plus a one-word hint, if hints are on). They must bluff.
- Go round the circle. Everyone says one word linked to the secret word, then discuss and vote.
- Catch the imposter and everyone else scores 1. If they escape or guess the word, they score 2.
2. Charades (2+ players)
Act out changing a nappy, building a flat-pack cot or waddling at nine months pregnant.
- The actor holds the phone so only they can see it, then taps Start.
- Act out the word on screen. No talking, no sounds, and no pointing at things in the room.
- When someone guesses it, tap Got it. Stuck? Tap Skip for a new word.
- When time runs out, the actor scores 1 point per word guessed. Pass the phone on.
3. True or False (2+ players)
Surprising baby facts: are babies really born with more bones than adults?
- Read the statement out loud.
- Everyone shows thumbs up for True or thumbs down for False, all at once.
- Tap Reveal answer.
- Tap every player who got it right. They each score 1.
4. Would You Rather (2+ players)
Change every nappy or do every night feed? Twins or one at a time? Ask the parents-to-be last.
- Read both options out loud.
- Count to three. Everyone points left for the first option or right for the second.
- Tap every player on the bigger side. They each score 1. A tie means nobody scores.
- Tap Next turn for a new question.
5. Pass the Bomb (3+ players)
Name baby names or nursery rhymes before the fuse runs out. Quick, loud and easy for everyone.
- Read the category out loud, then tap Light the fuse.
- Say one answer that fits, tap Pass, and hand the phone to the next player.
- No repeats. If the group says an answer doesn’t count, try again before passing.
- When the bomb explodes, whoever is holding it loses. Everyone else scores 1.
