Break the ice with Baby Shower Charades!
Got a guest list full of family, friends, and plus-ones who haven’t met? This game is the perfect way to loosen everyone up. It sparks laughs, breaks the silence, and gets people talking.
It’s fun. It’s low-pressure. And it turns awkward into awesome.
Whether you’re celebrating a first-time parent or a growing family, charades brings the party to life.
How to Play Baby Shower Charades
1. Download, print, and cut out the free cards at the bottom of this post. Or write baby-themed prompts on slips of paper and toss them into a bowl or hat.
2. Use a dry-erase board or paper to keep score. Designate a scorekeeper.
3. Split into two teams. Encourage guests to come up with lighthearted team names (like “The Bottle Squad” or “Team Bib”).
4. Start acting! One player at a time draws a card and has one minute to act out the word. No talking or sound effects are allowed. If their team guesses correctly within the time limit, they score a point.
The team with the most points at the end wins bragging rights and maybe a little prize!
