Slumber Party Activities

What good is a sleepover without some fun slumber party activities? Well, to be honest, a slumber party minus all the fun 'n' frolic won't remain much of a 'party', will it? Well, of course it won't! So to make your sleepover all the more exciting and happening, here are some interesting activities and ideas for a slumber party that are worth considering.

Fun Sleepover Party Activities

Your mantra should be simple - food and fun! If anyone among your group has decent cooking skills, then that's good. You can have a homemade meal of your choice. If it's the start of the winter season, then an outdoor barbecue grill, coupled with a small bonfire would be a nice slumber party idea. You could have your sleeping bags out in the lawn itself and you could sit up all night, laughing, giggling, chatting away under the stars, munching on some scrumptious grilled meat, and washing it down with some chilled cola. Alternatively, if none of you can cook, then that's even better! 'Home delivery' was invented for precisely this purpose! You could substitute all the grilled stuff with some yummy cheese pizzas or some regular Chinese food. Playing board games, telling horror stories, watching movies, gossiping, pillow fights, etc. have always been part of sleepovers and slumber parties, and I'm sure that in your case, things won't be any different. That is, unless of course, you decide to go ahead with some teen activities such as:

• Truth or dare
• Dressing up as fashion models and walking an imaginary ramp
• Playing beauticians for the night and giving each other facials, manicures, pedicures, etc.
• Watching typical chick-flicks and freaking out in general

Slumber Party Games

Ladies, if you have found either (or all) of the aforementioned party ideas particularly appealing, then you needn't shy away from incorporating them into your ladies' slumber party. In addition to the above, here are a few more slumber party games and activities you could think of including in your party:

• Karaoke: Let loose the Whitney, Madonna, Celine, Christina, and Britney inside you! Karaoke nights are oh-so-fun and enjoyable for one and all. Get hold of an all-in-one karaoke microphone system, and rest assured, your slumber party will not have one dull minute!
• Charades: Charades can be another very entertaining and addictive party game indeed. Divide yourselves into two teams, have in place a point scoring system, and enjoy! To increase the difficulty level, set a 5-minute 'enacting time limit'. And to give the game a little naughty twist, include adult film titles as well!
• Poker: What better way to liven up the proceedings than a game of poker? Ladies, make it a poker night! Good food, great drinks, and a Full House! Makes for a rather good slumber party, doesn't it?

Guys, quite a few of the aforementioned ideas would apply to your slumber parties as well. And in any case, a guys' slumber party mostly revolves around the same old things - food, soda (maybe beer), movies, chick stories, scavenger hunts and truth or dare. Well, that nearly eliminates the need to pen down some exclusive activities for boys, right? Enjoy!
