Poop Happens: The Surprisingly Great Games That Got Us Through Potty Training (and Beyond)
Potty training can be hard.
Like, why-is-this-the-hardest-thing-I’ve-ever-done hard.
And once your kid masters going #1, congratulations — the training isn’t over. Not even close. Because learning to go #2? That’s a whole new boss level.
During that phase in our house, there was a lot of poop talk. A lot of giggling. And more conversations about bodily functions than we ever imagined having with another human being.
So instead of fighting it, we leaned in.
If poop was already the funniest topic in the house, why not use it? We picked up a few poop-themed games, started playing together, and honestly… they worked. They made the whole potty training process lighter, sillier, and way less stressful for everyone involved.
And because it turns out poop humor is basically timeless, we didn’t stop with kids’ games. We’ve added some grown-up options to the list too — because adults deserve dumb laughs just as much as kids do.
Here are the best poop games for kids, families, and adults — the ones that got us through potty training and still make game night way more entertaining.
Poop-Themed Games for Little Kids (Perfect for Potty Training)
If you’re searching for potty training games that actually help, poop games for toddlers and preschoolers can normalize bathroom talk, reduce anxiety, and turn stress into giggles.
Don’t Step In It!
Playtime: 10-15 minutes
Players: 1+
Age: 4+
This one is pure preschool chaos — in the best way. Players spin, reach, grab, and try to match the right poop to the right animal. There’s a blindfold involved. There are chunky pieces. There is zero chance of quiet play.
Why we love it:
- Big laughs with very simple rules
- Reinforces matching and fine motor skills
- Makes poop feel funny instead of scary
This is perfect for younger kids who are still figuring things out and need potty talk to feel safe and silly.
And if unicorns are more your vibe, no worries, there’s a unicorn edition ready for you.
Shoot the Poop
Playtime: 5 minutes
Players: 2
Age: 5+
If your kid loves launching things across the table, this one’s a winner. Players literally shoot little poop pieces into targets, racing to score points before everyone else.
Why we love it:
- Quick rounds (a great attention-span match)
- Builds hand-eye coordination
- Turns poop jokes into active play
It’s fast, ridiculous, and shockingly competitive for something involving tiny plastic turds.
Again, if unicorns are more your vibe, you can grab the unicorn edition for your little here.
Poop Bingo
Playtime: 10-15 minutes
Players: 3–8
Age: 3+
This one leans more educational, but still keeps the humor front and center. Kids match poop sounds, images, and prompts in a bingo-style format that feels like play — not learning.
Why we love it:
- Reinforces potty vocabulary without pressure
- Interactive sounds keep kids engaged
- Feels comforting and familiar during potty routines
It’s a great bridge game for kids who are still a little unsure about the whole process.
Silly Poopy’s Hide & Seek
Playtime: Depends on how hard you hide it
Players: 2+
Age: 3+
This interactive, light-up toy turns the classic game of hide-and-seek into a sillier, more playful experience for toddlers. It features a poop-shaped character that “comes alive” when turned on – making goofy sounds (including funny fart noises), giving simple auditory clues, and singing in cheerful celebration when found.
Why we love it:
- It encourages active play, listening skills and cooperative movement
- Adds a dose of silly fun that keeps kids engaged
- It’s a straightforward loop – hide, seek, find, celebrate
It’s an easy one for littles to enjoy independently or with others.
Poop-Pocalypse
Playtime: 15–30 minutes
Players: 2–4
Age: 8+
This is where things level up. Poo-Pocalypse is a silly card game where players try to avoid being overtaken by — you guessed it — poop.
Why we love it:
- Easy to learn, fast to play
- Silly without being too gross
- Works for mixed-age groups
It’s goofy fun that older kids actually want to play (which is saying something).
Poop the Game – Special Edition
Playtime: 10–15 min
Players: 2–5
Age: 6+
Simple rules, fast turns, and plenty of “eww” moments. This one feels like a classic party game with a bathroom-humor twist.
Why we love it:
- Great filler game between bigger titles
- Easy for non-gamers to jump into
- Brings out laughs across age groups
It’s the kind of game that starts as a joke and ends with everyone asking for another round.
Guess Poo?
Playtime: 10–15 min
Players: 2
Age: 6+
This is a lighthearted, humorous guessing game designed for kids and adults to enjoy together. Players take turns asking yes/no questions about a mystery “poo” hidden somewhere on the game board
Why we love it:
- It’s quick and easy to play
- A fantastic way to entertain kids
- Brings out laughs across age groups
Simply ask a question, flip, and guess! Just like the classic game for kids but with a poop-tastic twist.
