Sleep Over Games

From LoveToKnow Party

Tweens and teens who are planning a party will need some sleep over games to keep their guests entertained and out of trouble. Too old for kids’ party games, teens planning a sleep over will need games their friends will think are fun and cool.

Coed Sleep Over Games

Sleep overs are not just for girls anymore. Yet many typical suggestions for teen slumber party games and activities are just girl teen party ideas. Keep both guys and gals amused with slumber party games that both sexes will enjoy.

You Can’t Say That

As guests arrive at the party, hand them ten strands of beads to wear around their necks, and inform them of the "forbidden" word. Each time someone hears another person say the forbidden word, that person must hand over his or her beads. Whoever has the most beads the next morning is the winner.

MASH

MASH is a classic schoolyard game that doubles as a sleep over game for boys and girls. Pair everyone up and have each person list five of the following:

  • Female/male names (preferably people attending the party)
  • Jobs
  • Cars/trucks/vehicles
  • Numbers of future kids
  • Location

Then have them pick a random number. Count out across categories, looping back to the first as necessary, until you reach the final number. Once each category has a final answer, you no longer use it when you count. Then count out the MASH answer. MASH stands for Mansion, Apartment, Shack or House. Once everyone is finished, have the final answers read aloud. You can customize this by creating new categories, too.

Honey Do You Love Me

Everyone sits on a chair in a big circle. One person stands in the middle. People in the center must walk around the circle, sitting on other people’s legs and wrapping their arms around the person’s neck. They must ask, “Honey do you love me?” The person must reply, “Honey I love you but I cannot smile.” If the person smiles while replying, she or he must now stand up and do the same until someone smiles.

Slipper Scramble

Toss everyone’s slippers into a huge pile in the center of a large room. Count to three and yell, “Go!” Everyone should dive into the pile, looking for his/her slippers. The first person to find both slippers wins.

Lap Stack

Before the slumber party begins, write down thirty phrases that can describe people. Examples include:

  • Wearing blue jeans
  • Hates math class
  • Favorite food is pizza
  • Has visited New York City

Give the phrases to your parents or a supervising adult. Have everyone sit in a circle at the party. As the phrases are read aloud, people who are described by the phrase must move one chair to their right. Because some people will stay in their chairs each time, people will end up sitting on others' laps. The first person to return to his/her original seat is declared the winner.

Scary Slumber Party Games

Some of the best party games are the ones played late at night and are meant to scare everyone. After midnight, when everyone is tired, suggest playing one or two creepy games designed to get the hair up on everyone’s necks.

Haunting Tales

Have everyone sit in a circle, with just a few candles lit around the room. The person hosting the party should start a scary story with one sentence. Each person must add another sentence until an entire tale has been created. Include guests in the story to make the scare factor even higher.

Remember to blow the candles out before going to sleep.

Light as a Feather

One person needs to lie in the center of a circle. Everyone else should place two fingers just a little bit underneath that person’s body. The group should chant “light as a feather, stiff as a board” repeatedly until it almost seems like the person is levitating or being lifted off the floor by just the fingertips of everyone else.

In the light of day, this game will not work. However, it can be quite eerie late at night.

Sleep over games are not restricted to silly kids’ games or makeovers for girls only. Plan some fun teenage party games that will make your next slumber party a hit..

First pick one person who is "it", that person now has to wait outside the room. The remaining people inside the room then have to hide under blankets, sheets, etc, and be completly hidden under there. When the "it" person is back in the room he/she have to poke the people underneath the blankets and they have to make an animal noise (bark, meow, hiss, etc). Based on the animal noise made by the person hidden the "it" person has to determine who it is. The person who is guessed last is "it" next time.
