The Slumber Party...what a happy memory!!
The favorite slumber parties from my youth included late night t.v., games, pizza and talking with my friends for the whole night!
These activities are geared toward teens and older kids. If you'd like to plan some activities for your sleepover, such as a game or a craft, here is a great collection of ideas for you!
For a first slumber party for little ones, visit our first sleepover page.
The Basics
Before the party, the teen and her parents should decide on the role the parents will play. Will they be close at hand, or just nearby in case you need them? Also, decide what siblings will do that evening.
You may want to decide, in advance, on a "code word" in case a situation comes up and the teen wants her parents to step in and help. If there is a conflict going on or something gets out of hand, the parent can be the "bad guy" (and not the teenager!), but it also keeps the teenager from looking like they are running to mom & dad for help in front of their friends.
Have a collection of music to listen to, as well as stacks of magazines, board games, etc. That way if someone isn't interested in an activity they don't have to participate if they don't want to.
And be flexible...a big part of the fun of this type of party is just seeing what happens!
Slumber Party Games
You can make your party fun and unique by adding a few games!
Some of our favorites are:
Makeup Artist - You’ll need makeup: lipstick, loose powder and blush. Stay away from things that could injure an eye, such as eye shadow (unless applying with a cotton ball) and no mascara (too scary to try to do!). Divide players into teams. One player is the model, and their teammate is the make up artist. The makeup artist has 2 minutes to put makeup on their model. But must do it blindfolded! The other players who aren’t taking their turn can yell out directions on what to do – “higher, lower, over to the left,” etc.!
Photo Fun - Divide players into teams, with each team using a digital camera. Give each team a list of photos to take. Some ideas are...the team pretending to sleep, of the team dancing, of the team doing yoga, etc. Whatever you can think of that will make a crazy photo! Make sure the different players take turns being the photographer so everyone gets a turn to be photographer and models!
Ticking Clock Game - Have players leave the room (or hide their eyes) while you hide an alarm clock in one sleeping bag. At some point in the evening, have the clock set to go off. Tell your guests that the alarm will go off, but don’t tell them when it will go off - that will be a surprise). When the alarm rings, whoever can find the clock first wins!
Check out our huge list of more games including Light as a Feather, Fortune Teller, Scavenger Hunts and Truth or Dare.
