Pajama parties are in fact parties. Yes, you are in your pajamas and sleeping arrangements have been made. Now what do you do? There are plenty of great sleepover games you can play. Board games and cards can be a fun night, but what about a movie trivia game? A young girl’s slumber party would be a hit if they could play makeup all night. We all have our own “gossip” games like “truth or dare” or “he said she said.” A craft night is fun too. Guests can lounge around and make arts and crafts together.
Set up a little table with pillow all around. Guests can comfortably sit on the floor and play their favorite board game. This works well for card games too. Keep the refreshment close so everyone can stay in the action. A set of poker chips is handy so everyone can take a chance winning and losing something real.
A great night for the ladies is a spa night or a makeup party. Put out lotions and a variety of nail polish for everyone to try. Get out the beauty magazines and take turns talking about the articles or quizzes. This will spark some great conversations while everyone relaxes.
Remember the old days of truth of dare? Revisit your childhood over a night of Spin-the-bottle. Set up a small table in the middle and use any pointed bottle you want. Just spin and see who it lands on. Decide on rules beforehand so there is no confusion. If pointed at that person may have to tell a secret or something personal about themselves. They may have to choose a random act chosen out of a hat. Maybe they are the recipient of a favor or even a kiss.
Arts and crafts can be fun too. Set up simple easels around the room with cardboard. Let artists draw and compare ideas. Hang a big sheet and let everyone make a group painting or project. The night time is a great time for art. Beads and string can make a fun night of jewelry making and your guests will have something to take home with them also.
Making a scrapbook is also a great pajama party game with close friends to remember good times. You can also find simple friendship bracelet patterns people can enjoy doing together.
