Sleepovers can be a fun way to bond with friends and make memories together. Here are some ideas for things to do at a sleepover:
- Make ice cream floats: Start your sleepover off with the retro pleasure of an old-fashioned ice cream float.
- Mani/pedis: Set up a DIY nail salon and give each other manicures and pedicures.
- Play freeze dance: Turn up the music and play a game of freeze dance.
- Have a blacklight dance party: Set up blacklights and have a dance party with glow-in-the-dark accessories.
- Make (safe) raw cookie dough batter to eat: Sometimes its just nice to sit around in sleeping bags and talk to friends with some cookie dough.
- Host a scavenger hunt: Challenge guests to find a certain number of items on a list and see who gets them all.
- Take a metal detector out to the woods: If someone owns a metal detector, borrow it, and let your teens take it out into the woods in your backyard (or wherever you can find a big open space) .
- Create sleep masks: Set up a DIY sleep mask station and let guests decorate their own sleep masks.
- Play Twister: Bust out the classic game of Twister and see who can stay standing the longest.
- Make your own pizzas: Buy individual crust and some sauce for each guest, and then put out some toppings for them to create their own pizza.
- Have a movie night: Choose a classic movie and set up a cozy viewing area with blankets and pillows.
- Karaoke party: Fire up the karaoke machine and let the kids be silly.
- Tug of war: Split the kids up into two teams and place them on either side of a rope. The goal is to pull the other team across the center marker.
- DIY photo booth: Set up a DIY photo booth with props and a backdrop for guests to take silly pictures.
These are just a few ideas to get started. With a little creativity, the possibilities are endless!
