How it works

These funny baby shower games are the loud half of a shower: races with dolls and diapers, blindfold pairs and dance-offs. Each one ends with a job for a guest who would rather judge than play.

Read the full guide

Pick by how much the room wants to move

The All games menu sorts by kind. The diaper games and Bottle and spoon races are relays and table games. The dance games need a clear floor, and Timed table stunts are played at a table against a watch.

Keep the quiet guests in the game

Every entry names a judging job: holding the stopwatch, counting, inspecting a diaper. Offer those first to anyone who would rather not race.

Tips

Bottles hold water or juice, and the applesauce game comes with a bib.
Diapers that go unused in the games can go to the parents unopened.

Questions and answers

How do you play the diaper derby baby shower game?

As a relay. Each player diapers the team's doll, carries it around a chair and hands it on, and the next player changes the diaper before running. A diaper that falls off on the lap sends the runner back.

What is the diaper pong baby shower game?

A bouncing game with no drinks in it. Six open diapers are taped to a table as cups, and players bounce table tennis balls into them for points. First to ten wins.

How does the baby shower dirty diaper game work?

A different chocolate bar is melted into each of six numbered diapers. Guests look and sniff, never taste, and write down the kind of bar by its filling: caramel, nougat, peanut. Most right wins.

Which games suit guests who do not want to race?

Every game has a judging job, and The Dirty Diaper Guess, Juice Tasting From Baby Bottles and Name That Wail are played sitting down.

How this list was compiled: Written by the Game Night Generator editors on 2026-10-03 for a baby shower that wants to laugh. The games and their wording are our own, and player ranges and times are our estimates. Every entry ends with a job for a guest who would rather judge than play. Bottles hold water or juice only, the chocolate game names bars by their filling and no brand, nobody tastes from a diaper, and no game is about anyone's body. No history or official rule is stated, so nothing was checked against an outside source. Licence: own work
