Hilarious Baby Shower Minute to Win It Games Everyone Will Love
These classic crowd-pleasers are always a hit and totally easy to set up.

Supplies: Baby bottles filled with liquid
Goal: First to finish in 60 seconds wins

Give each person a baby doll, a diaper, and a blindfold. When the timer starts, they’ve got one minute to get that diaper on, without peeking! Get ready for some wonky results and a lot of laughs.
Supplies: Dolls, diapers, blindfolds
Goal: Fastest (or neatest!) diaper job
3. Pacifier Search
Hide pacifiers around the room and let guests race to find as many as they can before the minute is up. You’ll be surprised how competitive people get!
Supplies: Pacifiers or small baby toys
Goal: Find the most in 60 seconds

Fill plastic bottles with rice and a few baby rattles or beads. Players shake and try to guess how many are inside, no peeking allowed!
Supplies: Bottles, rice, rattles or beads
Goal: Closest guess wins

6. Taste Test Time

8. Cotton Ball Scoop Challenge
This one’s a goofy good time! Players are blindfolded and given a spoon and a bowl full of cotton balls. The catch? They have to scoop as many cotton balls as they can into an empty bowl using only the spoon, and they can’t use their hands to help!

- A spoon
- A blindfold
How to Play:
Blindfold each player and give them 60 seconds to transfer as many cotton balls as possible from one bowl to the other using only the spoon. It’s harder than it looks because cotton balls are so light, they barely stay on the spoon!
