Guess That Baby Voice
Introduction
There’s something incredibly adorable about baby sounds those soft coos, tiny squeaks, or even that first little word. Imagine turning that into a guessing game. That’s exactly what **Guess That Baby Voice** is all about.
Before the shower, you collect short voice clips from babies maybe the baby to come, or even from the guests (when they were babies, if someone’s got a clip). Then, during the party, everyone listens and tries to guess whose baby voice made that sound.
It’s sentimental without being sappy, surprising without being tough, and full of ‘aww’ moments mixed with laughter when someone confidently guesses completely wrong. It pulls at heartstrings and sparks stories in the best way.
What You’ll Need
- Short audio clips of baby voices (coos, babbles, first words) as many as you can get (5–10 works well)
- A playback device phone, laptop, speaker something everyone can hear clearly
- A list with names matching each baby clip (for your reference)
- Answer sheets or slips of paper and pens so guests can write their guesses
- Optional: soft lighting or cozy setup to set a warm mood
- Optional: small prizes for most correct guesses or funniest wrong guesses
How to Play
- Before the party, ask guests (if possible) to send in a short baby recording a giggle, a babble, anything cute. Also, include a recording of the baby (if available). Label each clip with a secret code, not a name.
- Play the first clip for everyone, letting them hear the baby voice clearly just once or twice.
- After the clip, give guests a moment to jot down who they think it is (e.g. 'Baby A,' 'Mom’s baby,' 'Uncle Joe’s baby'). Keep the guesses secret.
- Reveal the answer, maybe with a tiny backstory (“This is the shower baby listen to that sweet coo!”). Then move on to the next clip.
- At the end, see who got the most correct guesses or who made the funniest wrong guess. Share laughs and smiles over how different (or similar) those baby voices were.
- If someone can’t listen to all clips (kids, guests stepping out), you can optionally show a printed list of names or play only a few rounds.
Fun Variations
Guess that word: play clips that include first spoken words and guess the word, not just the baby

Blind duet: play two baby voices overlapped and have people guess both
Parents vs guests: let the parents-to-be try to guess theirs, and see who gets closest

Why Guests Love It
- It’s tender and light at the same time people can laugh, be sentimental, or simply blush at how cute a voice was
- You see how babies’ voices differ some strong, some wispy, some bursting with personality
- It gives people a little peek into intimacy: hearing baby sounds feels personal
- Even wrong guesses spark conversation: “I thought that was *your* baby you sound so different now.”
Conclusion
Guess That Baby Voice is one of those games that holds space for warmth, surprise, and laughter. It’s not over the top, but it gives guests a moment to pause and listen and maybe feel more connected to the new life coming.
Whether someone guesses every voice or misses them all spectacularly, it doesn’t matter. What matters is the delight in those tiny sounds, the stories they stir up, and the way we lean in just a little closer to hear the mystery in a baby’s voice.
So queue up your clips, get people’s ears ready, and let the sweet guessing begin.
