The baby shower bingo words
Ten cards, each one different, drawn from these 22 words. Calling cards are included, so nobody has to make a list up on the day.

- Burp a baby over your shoulder
- Push a stroller
- Warm a bottle
- Sing a lullaby
- Take a photo of the baby
- Fold a tiny sleepsuit
The scavenger hunt list
12 things to find, written so they work indoors or in a garden. Nothing has to be bought or hidden in advance.
- Something small enough for tiny hands
- A card with a name on it
- Something soft
- A gift wrapped in ribbon
- Something striped
- A cup with a handle
- Something yellow
- A flower
- Something that makes a sound
- A photograph
- Something with a bow
- A guest wearing blue
Word scramble
10 words to unscramble, with an answer key on the next page for whoever is running it: bottle, stroller, blanket, lullaby, rattle, mittens, cradle, pacifier, booties, nursery.
Ages, timing and printing
- Made for adult guests. The host reads the bingo calling cards out loud, and anyone can join in without explaining the rules twice.
- About two hours of party. Bingo runs 10 to 15 minutes, the scavenger hunt 15 to 20, charades as long as they are still laughing.
- Plain paper is fine for the signs, banner and hunt sheets. Card stock is worth it for the bingo cards, charades cards and cupcake toppers, since those get handled.
- US Letter, colour, single sided. Print the invitations first if the party is more than a week away.
- The cupcake toppers say OH BABY, HELLO, SO LOVED, LITTLE ONE, WELCOME, BABY.
Baby shower game ideas that get everyone mixing
- Hand out the bingo cards as guests sit down and play while the gifts are opened.
- Charades works best in two teams: the parents-to-be against everyone else.
- Hang the OH BABY banner behind the gift table for photos.
