8 Baby Shower Games You Can Play Free Online (Virtual & In-Person)

Baby shower games have a mixed reputation — some guests love them, others groan. The key is picking games that feel fun rather than forced, and making sure they work whether guests are in the room or joining by video call.

Here are 8 free online baby shower games that work for both formats.

1. Baby Shower Bingo

The classic. Create bingo cards where each square is a baby gift or item — "muslin cloth", "baby monitor", "nappy cream", "sleep sack". Guests mark off squares as gifts are opened.

How to run it virtually: Generate a unique card for each guest. They download or screenshot their card and mark it off as gifts are revealed on screen.

2. Emoji Pictionary — Baby Edition

Emoji clues represent baby movies, nursery rhymes, and phrases. Guests shout or type their guesses.

Examples: 🍼😴 = "Baby sleeping", 👶🦁 = "The Lion King (Simba)", 🐘👦 = "Dumbo"

Works virtually: Host shares screen, everyone types guesses in chat.

3. Would You Rather — Baby & Parenting Edition

Parenting dilemmas that get everyone laughing: "Would you rather deal with a blowout in public or a meltdown in a restaurant?", "Would you rather have a baby that never cries or a baby that sleeps 12 hours?"

4. Icebreaker Questions

If guests don't all know each other, a few rounds of icebreakers break the ice naturally. Questions like "What's your best parenting advice?" or "What gift do you wish someone had given you when you had a baby?"

5. Random Name Picker for Prize Draws

Bingo winner, best advice, funniest story — pick winners fairly with the animated name draw. More fun than just calling a name.

6. Spin the Wheel for Activities

Add baby shower activities to the wheel — "Share your best baby memory", "Give advice to the parents", "Share your favourite children's book". Spin to decide who goes next or what happens.

7. Countdown Timer for Timed Games

For any timed challenge — fastest to fold a nappy, quickest to guess celebrity baby names — the countdown timer with presets and an alarm sound keeps things fair.

8. Scoreboard for Competitive Groups

If your baby shower crowd likes a bit of friendly competition, track points across multiple games with the real-time scoreboard. Full-screen mode keeps it visible across the room (or the video call).

Virtual Baby Shower Tips

Screen share early. Open all tools before guests join the call so there's no fumbling mid-game.
Unmute for reveals. Bingo BINGO and Emoji Pictionary guesses are best shouted aloud.
Send cards in advance. For Bingo, share a screenshot link before the event so everyone has their card ready.
