1. Ice-Breaker: The Introduction Relay
Start strong with a fun intro game. Ask each guest to share their name and a quick fun fact—maybe their favorite snack or a childhood nickname. Fun twist: everyone repeats the previous names before adding theirs.
It gets giggles, builds connection fast, and warms everyone up. [Conversational phrase] You won’t believe how well this works!
2. Sweet & Silly: Guess the Baby Food
This one's a classic—and hilarious. Grab five different baby food jars, peel the labels, and number them. Guests scoop a bit onto plates and guess the flavors. Sweet potato? Apple-banana? Get the most right and win!
So, messy? A bit. But fun? Totally. [Question] Can you imagine the hilarious reactions?
3. Name Game: Letter Scramble
Ask guests to form baby names using letter tiles. Short twist: give each guest a random mix of letters and let them create the cutest name they can in two minutes.
It’s quirky, creative, and sparks stories about favorite names. [Engaging question] What wild name will they make?
4. Photo Match: Baby Pics
This one's adorable sweet. Have guests bring baby photos (or source them earlier). Pin the pics, number them, and let everyone guess who’s who.
It’s heartwarmingly fun and gets people chatting. [Question] Ready for all the “aww” moments?
5. Musical Baby Songs
Divide into teams and list as many songs with “baby” in the title within five minutes. Think “Baby One More Time,” “Ice Ice Baby,” or “Isn’t She Lovely.” Winners pick a classic to perform!
Energetic, nostalgic, and full of laughs. [Conversational phrase] Let the mini karaoke begin!
6. Predictions & Wishes
Set up a prediction station. Guests guess the due date, baby’s birth weight, gender (if unknown!), and leave a sweet wish.
These notes become treasures for baby’s first scrapbook. [Friendly phrase] It’s touching and meaningful—plus, fun!
7. Timing the Baby’s Birth Stamp
Fill a jar with candies, each representing an hour. Guests guess how many candies or when labor will start. Closest wins! Add a personal twist like a voucher or sweet treat.
Simple to set up, but so memorable. [Engaging question] Who’ll get it right?
8. The Classic Diaper Game
Before guests arrive, write baby-themed words on clothespins or diapers. Guests pin them on their clothes. If someone leaves without a pin, they’re out!
Play it up with little prizes like chocolate bars or bath bombs. Fun, casual, and a bit competitive.
9. Name That Nursery Rhyme
Play short instrumental clips from nursery rhymes and let guests guess. Use classics like “Twinkle Twinkle” or “Humpty Dumpty.”
Kids’ tunes turn into big laughs—and maybe some sing-alongs. [Question] Want to hear someone belt out “Old MacDonald”?
10. Baby Item Scavenger Hunt
Hide tiny baby items like pacifiers, baby socks, or rattles around the party area. Give guests clues or a checklist.
It gets people moving, chatting, and hunting together—good competitive fun!
