Everyone who’s been to a baby shower knows that the gift opening can feel like it lasts forever. Sometimes even the mom-to-be feels a bit uncomfortable with all eyes on her as she opens each bag and box! To keep both the guests and the guest-of-honor happy during the seemingly never-ending present parade, I like to plan a game of baby shower bingo for all in attendance! This is one of the easier and more fun party games, so I created these simple free printable bingo cards to share with all of you!
How to play Gift Baby Shower Bingo: During the Baby Shower, Hand each guest a bingo cards and 15-20 game pieces. Instruct the guests that as the expectant mother is opening her gifts, they place a Hershey's Kiss or other game piece on their card if the gift is on one of the squares of their Baby Shower Bingo. How to Play Baby Shower Bingo: Have guests fill in the bingo card squares with gifts they think that the mom-to-be will receive. The guests play bingo as she opens her gifts. The center is free, and any line wins - horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Love these free baby shower bingo cards?
For those of you who haven’t played before, you start with a card just like regular bingo, but instead of a number in each square, you write in a gift you think the guest-of-honor will receive. As she opens the gifts, everyone marks off the coordinating spaces on their cards. The first guest to get five spaces marked off in a row is the winner! I also like to provide a prize for the first person to get a blackout on her card to keep the game going longer.
You can download these free printable bingo cards in mint, aqua, green or coral. The files each have four cards fit on a letter size page—simply print, cut, distribute and play! And don’t worry because I’ve included instructions on the bottom of each card for those guests who weren’t quite paying attention.
I hope these baby shower bingo cards make it a little easier to plan your next party and a lot more fun!
