Inside: Looking for a game all baby shower guests can easily play? Baby shower bingo is a longstanding favorite, for a reason! Get these free printable baby shower bingo cards in three different colors.
If you’re all about the simple, non-trendy baby shower games, you can’t go wrong with Baby Shower Bingo.
Let’s face it: some of the modern baby shower games are either complicated, too risque for a family-oriented gathering, or simply cringeworthy!
Sometimes it’s just best to stick to the classics.
Tried-and-true baby shower games are what most people expect, and that means less pressure for your guests.
It’s also nice when you don’t have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to planning the baby shower activities.

Baby Shower Bingo: How to Get Started

If by chance you haven’t been to a baby shower in a while, you might be wondering exactly how this version of the game works.
I think you’ll be relieved at how easy it is to set up! All you really need is some blank bingo cards.
You could make your own…but luckily, we’ve got you covered! You can find the free bingo templates at the end of this post.
We included a pink, blue, and neutral green version, because who doesn’t like options?
Be sure to print enough for each guest.
How to Play Baby Shower Bingo
To play the game, your guests will write in each box the name of the gifts they think the mom-to-be will receive.
You can use our list of gift ideas to choose from, if you need it. It’s included with our free bingo cards.
Encourage everyone to also list the gift they brought on their own card.
As the mom opens her gifts, your guests can mark their matching spots with anything you have available: bingo markers, chocolate kisses or other candy.
I highly recommend you go with the chocolate kisses. Treats make a nice consolation prize regardless of who wins, right?
You can get candy kisses in bulk HERE in a few different color wrappers, including pink, gold or light blue!
The first to mark five spots in a row, wins – but they must call out “Bingo!” right away.
This game can go pretty fast, especially if one gift contains several items on the Bingo card. You may decide to do several rounds, or award 2nd and 3rd place prizes as well.
Oh, and in case you have any sneaky competitive players (ahem, like me), you might want to mix up the gifts on the gift table after everyone writes down their guesses on the bingo card.
(Baby Shower Trivia is another super easy baby shower activity! Find our Baby Shower Trivia Printables HERE.)
Make Sure to Have Baby Shower Bingo Prizes
Don’t forget to award some good prizes, too!
Hint: everyone probably has enough candles to last through the next millennia, so try to think outside the box with prizes.
