On this page

At a shower, the usual bingo twist is that guests mark a square when the parent-to-be opens a matching gift, not when a caller reads a number. This page opens with 30 baby words typed into the list so you can print right away or swap in your own.

What prints

The sheet has the plain title "Bingo" until you type your own, such as "Emma's Baby Shower". A short rule line covers marking squares and winning with a full line. On a 5 × 5 card the letters B, I, N, G, O sit in shaded boxes above the grid, and the middle square is a grey FREE. Words keep their spaces and their capitals as typed, so "car seat" and "teddy bear" each fit in one square. There is no key and no name line.

The starting list

The page opens on the My own words card type with these entries: diaper, bottle, rattle, stroller, crib, blanket, pacifier, onesie, bib, lullaby, teddy bear, booties, bath, wipes, mobile, car seat, bonnet, burp cloth, nursery, mittens, socks, baby monitor, high chair, bouncer, sleepsuit, swaddle, daddy, mommy, cradle and birth. Delete any you do not want and add more. The generator needs at least 24 words for a 5 × 5 card with the free space.

The settings

  • Title (optional): a name for the top of the card, for example Emma's Shower Bingo (32 characters at most).
  • Card type: set to My own words. The other three are number, theme and sight word cards.
  • Your words, one per line (at least 24): edit freely. Each line is cut at 24 characters and repeats are dropped.
  • Card size: starts at 5 × 5; 3 × 3 and 4 × 4 are smaller.
  • Cards per page: two at first; one or four also work.
  • Pages of cards (each card is different): from 1 up to 12 pages.
  • Free space in the middle: a toggle for the center square.

Ideas for the game

Add the host's inside jokes or names of relatives. Add the specific items on the registry, so guests have a good chance of a match. Print a few extra cards, because guests often arrive late. Give each guest a pen, or use small stickers or hearts as markers. A small prize, such as a candle or a pack of tea, goes to the first line.

For shower games that involve baby care, the American Academy of Pediatrics page cited here is the parent resource from which many of these words come, such as feeding, sleep and bath topics. It does not talk about bingo.

Worked example: a shower with 20 guests

Rosa keeps the default list but replaces "daddy" and "mommy" with the parents' names, adds "hat", "lotion", "sound machine" and "play mat" so there are 32 words, and types the title "Baby Lin Shower Bingo". She chooses 5 × 5, 4 cards per page and 6 pages, so that she prints 24 cards for 20 guests plus spares. As Mei opens each gift, her aunt calls the item and guests mark a square. The first guest to mark a full row wins a small candle.
