Sleepover Ideas

 
Sleepovers are awesome! Having your best friends come over,
eating pizza, popcorn, and soda while watching movies and playing lots
of fun games. Sleepovers are a favorite since 1990 for kids everywhere
This post will show you how some ideas for your sleepover


 

Here are some sleepover ideas
 
  1. Have a make your own ice cream sundae,  hot chocolate, pizza, cupcake, or popcorn bar. Put out all of the fun ingredients and let them design it
  2. Play the murder mystery game. You need at least 6 people to play, a pencil or pen, and enough slips of paper for everyone. Write a V for victim on all of the slips of paper except one which you write a M for murderer and fold them. Shuffle them around in your hands or in a hat and have everyone chose one. If you get a V you are a victim and if you get a M you are the murderer. Turn off the lights and have everyone scream, then count to ten slowly and turn on the lights when you reach ten. When the lights are out the murderer will touch someone on their back or arm. The person will then lie down and pretend to be dead. When the lights are turned back on there will be one victim dead and everyone will try to guess who the murderer is
  3. Make colorful pancakes for breakfast. Its super easy and a fun way to eat. All you do is put the pancake batter in separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring then cook like normal
  4. Instead of pancakes for breakfast make a cereal bar or give them each a mini box of cereal
  5. Push two couches together to make an awesome bed and fort
  6. Another idea for pancakes is putting pancake batter into a cake pop maker and you have mini pop pancakes! You can also make mini pancakes by using cake pop sticks for bite size
  7. Play spin the bottle and no I don't mean that one. This one all you need is a spinner and a few bottles of nail polish. A player spins and what ever color it lands on you paint one finger of that color until all nails are painted. The winner is the player with the most same color nails
  8. Sleep outside on the trampoline or in a tent
  9. Have a movie marathon sleepover
  10. Have a sleepover in a hotel
  11. Play the lap game. Arrange enough seats  for everyone in a circle and have everyone sit in one. The rule for the game is one player will ask a question like "Have you flown in an airplane?" If yes move one seat to your left, but if no stay where you are. Now lets say you said yes to the question, but the person to your left said no you have to go and sit on their lap! The first person to make it back to their original seat wins!
  12. Spa sleepover!
  13. If you can, mattress surf!
  14. Another game is the Blindfold Makeover Game. One person is blindfold and tries to put make-up on another player
  15. Throw a glow in the dark sleepover
  16. Design some t-shirts with tie-dye or markers
  17. Make cupcakes
  18. Build a huge fort, bring some games, pillows, blankets, and sleep in there
  19. Have a scavenger hunt. You can do it in the neighborhood, a park, or the mall
  20. Play M.A.S.H




Have Fun!

Fun Things to Do In The Summer


School is almost over!
That means no more tests, homework, last-minute
project that you forgot about all week, and studying.
And when schools out, summer is in!
Swimming, sleepovers, trips, and so much fun!
For the first week its all playing, exploring, having a blast, then it comes.
The two words that every parent cringes when they hear it
"I'm bored"
Well I'm only 14 years old so I don't have any kids, but when you have
4 younger siblings you hear it a lot.
That's why I put together this list. It's perfect for your kids or
if you have siblings (like me) that can keep them busy and
stop saying I'm bored and there's nothing to do.

  • Solve a puzzle

Pintrest is a good one for this one. You make one out of chairs, a table, or my favorite an umbrella

  • Play a card game
Crazy Eights, Spoons, Go Fish, and Uno are some good ones

I love making these. You can use Legos and toys or just use yourself
  • Swimming
Even if you don’t have a pool you still can see if there is a public pool near you
  • Play a bored game
  • Slide n' Slide
  • Make a bored jar
A bored jar is a jar that has slips of paper with stuff to do when you are bored. You pick a slip and do what is says so if it says read a book, read a book

The paint is washable and super easy to make here is the link: Spray chalk Recipe

Once a week or twice a month you "visit" a country, eat traditional food, play some traditional games, try a dance, learn some facts, and sing some traditional songs
