DIY Spa Night

Who doesn’t love a little pampering? Set up a DIY spa night with face masks, manicures, and pedicures. You can even make your own homemade beauty products, like sugar scrubs and bath bombs.

Scavenger Hunt

A scavenger hunt is a fun way to explore your neighborhood or even your own home. Create a list of items your friends need to find, and set a strict time limit. Have little prizes for everyone, and make sure to do the hunt safely and before it gets dark.

Karaoke Night

Belt out your favorite tunes with a karaoke night. You can find karaoke versions of your favorite songs on YouTube, or you could invest in a karaoke machine for a more authentic experience.

Movie Marathon

A movie marathon is a classic sleepover activity, but it doesn’t have to be boring. Pick a theme, like 90s movies or superhero films, and watch a selection that fits the theme. You could even create your own movie theater by setting up an air mattress or two, building a pillow fort, cozying up under some electric blankets, and projecting the movies onto a white sheet.

Board Game Tournament

Bring out the board games and host a tournament. You can choose classic games like Monopoly and Scrabble, or try something newer like Settlers of Catan or Ticket to Ride. You can even create brackets and award prizes to the winners.



DIY Pizza Party

Everyone loves pizza, so why not make it yourself? Set up a DIY pizza station with pre-made crusts and a selection of toppings. Let everyone create their own pizzas, and then bake them in the oven. If your party isn’t a pizza crowd, you can try decorating cupcakes or cookies, making personalized popcorn, or even creating a taco bar.

Campfire Night

If you have a backyard or a fire pit, set up a campfire. You can roast marshmallows, make s’mores, and tell ghost stories. If it’s warm enough, you could even sleep outside in a tent.

DIY Tie-Dye Party

Tie-dyeing is a fun and messy activity that everyone will enjoy. Set up a tie-dye station with fabric dye, rubber bands, plain white t-shirts, and some plastic bags. Let everyone create their own tie-dyed creations, and then wash them in the washing machine after they sit overnight.

DIY Photo Booth

Create a DIY photo booth with props like hats, sunglasses, and boas. Set up a camera or use your phone to take pictures of everyone. You could even print out the photos and create a scrapbook to remember the sleepover forever.

Conclusion

Sleepovers don’t have to be the same old, same old. With a little creativity, you can make your next sleepover one to remember. Try out some of these ideas and see what your friends love the most. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and make memories!
