DIY Sleepover Activities and Games

     Hey everyone! Another great party favorite is a Sleepover! All kids love to have a group of their friends over for an entire night of celebration! Planned activities are a must for this type of party! Because of the amount of time that you will have your guests, you should have some idea of what you want everyone to be doing...besides destroying your house and keeping you up well past your bedtime, lol! There are a ton of activities that will keep the kids attention, and not have everyone running amuck! A great ice breaker game is called 2 Truths, 1 Lie. Each guest writes down 2 Truths about themselves, and 1 Lie. Then each guest reads all 3 descriptions aloud, and everyone else guesses which one is a lie. This game helps to introduce everyone a little better, in case not everyone knows each other.
     Another great game to play in the dark is Flashlight Tag! Ask each guest to bring a flashlight, and let them run around in the backyard! This kept the girls at our party busy for over an hour! I kept refreshing their pallets with refreshments, and they ran around laughing and screaming! Great time!
     Mani/Pedis are another fun activity that everyone will love! Let the girls paint their own, or each others, fingers and toes! The more colors the better! Encourage the girls to make designs and be creative! In case of any mishaps, have a bottle of nail polish remover nearby! I even found these adorable pedicure sets at the dollar store! The set included slippers,
toe separators and an emery board! All that for a dollar? Can't beat it!

Another great game is Spoons! This is a fast paced card game that everyone can play! If you get 4 of a kind, then Grab a Spoon! If you see someone else grab a spoon, grab a spoon too.

Preparation: A deck of cards and Spoons

      *The number of spoons that you’ll need depends on how many people are playing. You’ll need to have one less spoon than the number of people playing in the game- e.g. 9 spoons for 10 players

How to Play: Have everyone sit in a circle, with all spoons in the center.Deal 4 cards to each player and put the remaining cards in a pile next to you. Have everyone look at their cards.

Basics:Everyone's goal to get 4 of a kind...if you do, Grab a Spoon! Once someone goes for a spoon, everyone else should too! Because the person left without a spoon is OUT! Then deal them out again! Lots of fun!

One of my oldest daughter's favorites is the Toilet Paper Game! Have your camera ready for this one! You're sure to take some great shots! You will need an even amount of players. Have the guests partner up. Give each team 1 roll of toilet paper and 1 roll of tape. Give each team about 10 minutes to wrap the best mummy! Give them specific details like neatness, or craziest, and then have them present to you why their mummy is the best! You could even add accessories like hats and scarves for them to wear! The judge will pick a winner, and then the partners can switch!

     *FYI: Buy the cheap toilet paper! Another great dollar store find!

Hope you play some of these great games!

They are sure to be a hit at your next sleepover!
