Mom or Dad Baby Shower Game Questionnaire Ideas + Printable

Maybe you’re here because you need fun baby shower games to play. Or possibly because you plan to host a baby shower for a dear friend or loved one. If that is the case, you’ve come to the right spot. In this post, I’ll share a fun game, The Mom or Dad Baby Shower Game Questionnaire. This is a simple game played at most baby showers for a good reason. With so many baby shower games out there, this is one of the easy games you can play that will also break the ice and get all the guests chitchatting. 

What is The Mom or Dad Questionnaire Game?

The Mom or Dad questionnaire game is a fun activity played at baby showers. Guests are given a list of questions to guess who they think will do certain things when the baby arrives. This can be mom, dad, or sometimes both. The questions can be about who will change the diapers the most, who will sing the most lullabies, or even funny questions. The guests determine whether they think Mom or Dad will do each task.

It’s the perfect game because it’s a great way to get everyone laughing and talking. If your close friends and family can’t attend your baby shower in person, don’t worry. It also makes a great game for any virtual baby shower. 

What Do You Need To Play?

You don’t need much to play the mom or dad baby shower questionnaire. Most of the things you’ll need are things you probably already have. 

• You’ll need a printable mom or dad baby shower questionnaire, which I have provided below. The questions range from simple to funny, like who will be more likely to get peed on during diaper changes. Yes, I know it’s funny. Expect a lot of laughter from some of these questions!
• You need enough copies of the mom or dad questionnaire for each guest and have extras on hand, just in case. Print as many as you’d like from the link below.
• Be sure to provide enough pens or pencils for guests to fill out their answers. 
• Give the guest anything from 10-15 minutes to answer the questions, which should be enough time for them to go through the series of questions. 

How Do You Play The Mom or Dad Questionnaire Game?

Playing the mom or dad questionnaire game is simple.

• When everyone arrives, hand out the printable sheet and give each guest a few minutes to answer the questions. 
• Make sure to hand props representing the dad, such as something blue or a mustache, and for the mom, something pink or lips. Anything will work as long as it shows it’s either Mom or Dad. It can also be something as simple as a prop that says, Mom or Dad. 
• After everyone has finished, have the host or a family member read the questions to the guests. The guests will then raise one of their props or both to give their answers. So if the question is who will be the one to feed the baby the most, and they think it’s mom, they’ll raise the prop that represents mom. You can also have the parents-to-be sit back-to-back and answer the questions when the host reads them off. Whichever way you decide to do this is up to you. 

Either way, know the game isn’t about winning; it’s just a fun way to involve everyone and add laughter and conversation as you all try to predict how the new parents will handle their upcoming responsibilities. This baby shower game is also a great opportunity for guests to learn more about the parents-to-be. It can be played at the beginning or at the end of the party, with a small group of guests or a larger group.

There is also no time limit on this game. Of course, give the guests enough time to give their guesses, but to actually play it, feel free to take your time and even ask the guests questions about why they chose those answers.
