Sleepover Ideas for 13 Year Olds

Sleepover party is a great party idea where all friends hang together at someone's place and have a blast. Though it is great fun for the members of the party, parents who have to arrange the party may have a tough time, especially when the party is for thirteen year old teenagers. Although, I agree that arranging a slumber party for teenaged kids is no child's play, you can make it really happening for the girls and boys with some very good sleepover games for thirteen year olds.

There are certain important factors that you have to determine while thinking over sleepover activities for teens, or for that matter, any teen party. The most important thing will be whether the party is held for girls or boys and arrange party activities according to this. Also, it is important for you to know the number of guests attending the sleepover party. Send invitations beforehand and request an R.S.V.P. to know the exact number of children you have to accommodate at your home and the number of sleeping bags you have to arrange for. So, if you are falling short of sleepover games for thirteen year olds, here are some fun sleepover party ideas for girls as well as boys which will surely help the teenagers to have lot of fun throughout the night.

Sleepover Activities for Girls

If you are having a sleep over party for thirteen year old teenage girls, there are actually a host of party ideas to choose from. For teenage girls who are very interested in makeup and beauty care, having a spa or beauty sleepover party will be a great idea. Find a place where you can find facial masks, lotions and such other beauty products which are not very expensive. You can also buy some pedicure and manicure sets, nail polishes, etc., and let the girls enjoy by trying out different beauty products on themselves as well as on each other. Buy some disposable cameras so that they can capture each others photographs after the makeover. Another exciting sleepover party idea for girls will be to play the secret index card. Every girl should write a secret about herself in a piece of paper without writing her name. These papers should be put in a bowl or hat and each girl should take turns and read them out. While one person reads, the others should guess as to who the secret belongs to. This game will surely be a hit among teenage girls, however this game will be enjoyable when there are lots of guests (at least more than 8-10) rather than in a small group.

Sleepover Activities for Boys

One of the best sleepover activity for thirteen year old boys will be to arrange a campfire at your backyard. Here, they can have fun activities like mimicking their favorite stars, playing dumb charades and even telling each other ghost stories and jokes. Also, remember that no campfire is complete without campfire food including marshmallows, finger fries, hot dogs, etc. As boys love to indulge in sports, you can arrange for games like soccer, basketball, bike racing, scavenger hunt, etc., for the first half of the sleepover party, before they have the indoor party. Another sleepover idea for boys will be to play the spin the bottle game, which is also known as truth and dare. The boys should sit in a circle and at the center a bottle should be spun. The person on which the mouth of the bottle points has to do some task or reveal a secret about himself.

Sleepover Activities for 2 People

Most people think that a sleepover party is not enjoyable without loads of people around. However, this is not really true and one can have real fun even if there are only two people for the sleepover party. If you are having a party for your son/daughter and his/her best friend, there are still plenty of options that you can choose from. For instance, rent several movies that they love to watch. Other than this, playing video games for sometime is another good option. They can also spend their time by playing card games as well as some board games. Moreover, when there are two teenagers on board, how can the sleepover party get over without pillow fights and lots of chatting?

You can also come up with your own creative ideas and also do not forget to ask your child who may already have something planned with his/her friends. Remember that whatever you arrange for the sleepover party, make sure that your kid and his/her friends remember this party for a long time to come.
