Teeny Tiny Baby Shower Games

What’s a baby shower without a few fun games to get everyone laughing and involved? One of our favorite activities at this Tiny Baby shower was a simple. It is also a surprisingly competitive game called “Guess What’s Inside.” It was easy to set up, required very little prep, and kept guests entertained from start to finish.

To play, we used an empty baby food jar—the smallest size we could find at the store. Reusable jars would also be a great option. To keep the contents a surprise, we wrapped tape around the clear portion of the jar. Once it was covered, we filled the jar with as many tiny, random objects as we could gather from around the house. The goal was to fit as many small items as possible. This makes it tricky (but fun!) for guests to guess what was inside.

Each guest was given four minutes to write down everything they thought could fit in the jar on small notepads (also a party favor!). The guesses ranged from practical to creative, which made the game even more entertaining. When time was up, we opened the jar and began pulling the items out one by one. Every time a guest had correctly guessed an item, they earned one point.

By the end, the room was full of laughs as everyone compared lists and tallied their scores. The guest with the most correct guesses walked away with a gift card to a local coffee shop—a perfect, low-key prize that everyone loved. This game was a hit and is a great option if you’re looking for an easy baby shower activity that works for all ages and doesn’t require a lot of supplies.
