Do you struggle when trying to pick out baby shower games? I know that some attendees enjoy them and some attendees prefer to skip them. I enjoy a good bridal shower or baby shower game, but some games are definitely better than others. I especially enjoy the games that you would play without attending a shower.

My first shower game of choice? Scattergories. I enjoy playing the game in a non-shower situation. I figure if it’s a game well-suited for any game night, it is more likely to be a crowd-pleaser at a shower. I will share a free scattergories printable to use at the next shower you throw (in a 5 different designs + colors) and also a quick summary of the rules.

Print the Baby Shower Scattergories Game printable. All 5 colors + designs are included the printable.

1. The hostess will pick 3 letters to use for the game. Pick the initials of the mom, the baby (if the mom knows the name or if the baby is already born), roll an alphabet die, or just pick 3 random letters.
2. Each shower attendee will write the chosen letter in the circle above the first column.
3. Set a timer for 3 minutes (or whatever time you choose).
4. Each attendee fills out each category with a word that starts with the selected letter. Everyone tries to fill out as many as they can for 3 minutes. For example, if the letter chosen was “S”, the baby name could be “Sophia”. 
5. Once the 3 minutes are over, go around the room to have everyone share their answers. If an attendee has an answer that no one else has, they get 1 point. If two or more attendees have the same answer, no one gets a point. (Bonus points if you come up with an answer that uses the selected letter twice. For what the bride wears, “silver shoes” would get 2 points instead of just 1.)
6. The attendee with the most points wins that round!  
7. Repeat with a different letter for the second column.
