If you are in need of a super simple game to play at a baby shower this is the one for you! With minimal prep and a lot of flexibility, the Mom vs Dad baby shower game asks questions to each parent-to-be simultaneously. All shower guests are able to participate too! Expect a lot of laughter during this easy and fun baby shower game.
If you’ve been to my blog before you know I love to read. My passion for reading developed at a very early age. In elementary school, the one time I faked sick to stay home was so I could read a new book – #nerdalert!
I’m so happy that the trend of bringing a book instead of a card to baby showers has continued for a number of years now. What a sweet way to start building baby’s first library.
A simple baby shower game can also incorporate everyone’s love of children’s books. There are a number of ways you can play “Name That Book”. In each version, guests hear quotes from popular children’s books and try to guess the titles. Whoever correctly guesses the most titles wins!
Below I have included variations of ways you can play the game as well as a FREE PRINTABLE for those who want to make their baby shower planning process easy. Yes, the answers are included! I tried to pick book quotes that were very famous so the game would be fun (and competitive) to play.
Have a children’s book that you, or the mom-to-be, love that I didn’t include? Add more questions or create your own list of quotes that would be more personal to your party.
I don’t enjoy playing the typical baby shower games. Smelling “dirty” diapers to guess the candy bar – no thank you. Drinking apple juice out of a baby bottle, I’ll pass. But I am a competitive person and when hosting a baby shower you need activities to fill the time so my favorite go-to shower game is Jeopardy. I like that you play the game in teams allowing various groups at the party to interact and with a set number of questions you know the game won’t go on forever.
