Slumber parties are a popular party choice for tween-aged children. If you are planning a tween slumber party, you may be wondering what activities and games you can plan to keep the guests entertained. Although most tweens will happily talk and watch movies all night long, having a few party games in mind will ensure the party keeps moving.
Drama Bags
- A drama bag allows the party tweens to make skits to entertain the other guests. Break the guests into two teams. Each team gets a bag full of five different props. You can use any props you would like, such as a shoe, a hairbrush or a spoon; however, each bag should include different props. The two teams then get to figure out a skit to perform using all five of the props. Then they can take turns putting on their skits for the other guests.
Truth or Dare
- This is a classic party game that has been played for years. The guests take turns asking each other truth or dare. They have to choose whether they would rather take their chances with a question that they have to answer or perform a dare. The questions can include things such as, "Who do you have a crush on?" or, "If you had a super power, what would it be and why?" For the dares, you can try things such as putting on a 20 second dance with no music or adding the phrase "fuzzy bunny" after everything you say for 10 minutes.
Do-It! Dice
- To prepare the Do-It! Dice game, you will need two dice. Write out two lists of actions with six actions each. The actions can be anything from signing "Mary had a Little Lamb" to skipping in a circle. The guests take turns rolling the two dice and performing the action that matches the two dice. For example, if the player rolls a 1 and a 6, she would look at the list to determine the actions. If the first list has action 1 to stand on one foot and the second list has flap your arms like a duck for action 6, the player would have to stand on one foot while flapping her arms.
Who Am I?
- Who Am I? lets the guests try and guess who they are. Each guest is given a piece of paper with the name of a famous person or a character from a book, movie or television show written on it; however, guests cannot look at their own piece of paper. Each player tapes their piece of paper on his forehead. For game play, the players look at each other’s names and act as if that person is the name on the post-it note, without using the name. For example, if you had Harry Potter as the name on your post-it, other players may make comment about quidditch or Hogwarts, but never refer to you as Harry. After 5 to 10 minutes, each player takes a guess as to who they were.
