Planning a baby shower? You’ve picked the theme, ordered the cake and sent the invitations. I’m not a fan of complicated games at showers, but it’s always fun to have a few simple easy activities. Think minute to win it style games!

Our free printable baby shower word scramble is one of the easiest shower games you can play. It costs nothing, takes just a few minutes and works for every guest, from grandmas to teens.

How to Play the Baby Shower Word Scramble Game

You can definitely just leave a stack of word scrambles around for guests to complete while they are mingling if you don’t want a shower with official “games.” Personally, since I’m not a fan of the complicated formal games, I do enjoy “Minute to Win It” Type games with the word scramble or other easy activities.

Hand out your word scramble to guests at the same time
Set a timer for 2 to 3 minutes and say “Go!”
Review the answers. The guest with the most correct answers wins a prize. If there’s a tie, the first person to finish wins.

Baby Shower Game Prize Ideas

Shower game prizes don’t need to be fancy. A few small favorites:

Scented candles or hand soap
Chocolates
Coffee shop gift cards
Mini bottles of Prosecco
Cute succulents or small potted plants

Tips for the Host

Print on cardstock in the shower’s colors for a polished look.
Be sure to have lots of pens or mini pencils
Add 3-5 total “minute” to win it style games

Bring a Children’s Book to the Party

I love the idea of suggesting in the invitation that every guest bring an “unwrapped” favorite children’s book to gift the Mom to Be to build her own library. Guests love sharing their favorites and chatting about what they loved as children or what their own current kiddos loved to read at bedtime.

Diaper Cakes for Party Decor

Adding a diaper cake to every shower is one of my must do’s! It’s practical and looks adorable. You can decorate it according to the theme of your baby shower or based on the gender of the baby. If you don’t know the gender, there are tons of essentials you can still add to the Diaper Cake like bath items, rubber ducks, pacifiers, bibs, toys etc.

Plus, it gives Mom a nice stash of diapers is a practical gift post party.
