Body Part
This game is fun to play at a "scary"
sleepover and can be accompanied by other ghost stories and games such as "Light
as a Feather, Stiff as a Board" (see description below).
Ingredients
-
Paper Bags
-
Plastic Bags
-
Peeled Grapes
-
Canned Apricots
-
Popcorn Kernels
-
Cooked Spaghetti
-
Tomato
-
Macaroni Noodles
-
Jello
To Play
-
Have the kids sit in a circle in
a dimly lit (or dark) room while you make up a story about a mean old witch
who falls apart piece by piece. As you talk about each body part, pass
around a paper bag lined with a plastic bag, and have the kids feel inside
without looking.
-
Each bag should hold a different
"body part" that has fallen off of the witch. For example, use peeled grapes
for the eyeballs, a canned apricot for the tongue, popcorn kernels for
teeth, cooked spaghetti for brain, a large peeled tomato for the heart,
cooked macaroni noodles for intestines, a slab of jello for the liver, and
so on.
-
Have the kids guess what food you
used for each body part, and the person who guesses the most right wins.
Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board
Ingredients
To Play
-
The basic premise of this game is
to have one person lie on the floor while everyone else sits on his or her
knees around her with both hands slightly under her.
-
There is one "Storyteller" who
sits by the head and tells a made up story about the person on the floor's
life and her "untimely demise."
-
At the end of the story, everyone
chants "Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board" repeatedly as they lift her
off of the ground.
-
The idea is to have everyone
believing that "spirits" are helping to lift her off the ground (in reality,
she is probably being lifted because of all the people helping to lift her).
Take turns, and tell a story about everyone!
Junk Food Frenzy
This is a great game that will keep
your tummy full and keep you laughing.
Ingredients
To Play
-
Dig out some of your favorite
dessert recipes and copy the instructions on index cards.
-
Buy ingredients for all the
desserts and place them on the kitchen counter.
-
Shuffle the cards and divide the
guests into two teams.
-
Have players take turns drawing
cards.
-
Each player reads the card and
takes the listed ingredient.
-
When all the ingredients have
been distributed, give the teams thirty minutes to prepare a dish using the
ingredients accumulated by the individual players.
-
When the dishes are complete,
have each player taste and eat the results, then vote on the best tasting
dessert! For a fun variation, give both teams the same ingredients and see
what different desserts they come up with (without using recipes).
Do-It! Dice
Ingredients
-
2 Square Cardboard Boxes
-
White Paint
-
Markers
-
Dice
To Play
-
Buy or find two square cardboard
boxes and paint them both white. On each side of the square, write a command
or a stunt, such as "Sing our National Anthem," "Hop up and down," "Spin
around in circles," and so on.
-
Have the kids gather in a circle
with the "Do-It! Dice" in the middle.
-
Have one player roll BOTH dice to
determine his/her stunts, then have the player perform both stunts AT THE
SAME TIME. This should provide lots of laughs.
Grabbit
Ingredients
-
Bag of Candy
-
Book
-
CD
-
Stuffed Animal
-
Nail Polish
-
Other Small Gifts
To Play
-
Place the objects above on a
table, enough for each player.
-
Let each player name a favorite
card game, such as fish, rummy, spoons, hearts, war, etc.
-
Gather the players around the
table and remove all but one prize, setting the others aside.
-
Play one of the card games; the
winner gets the prize.
-
Replace the prize, and start a
new game.
Panic Word
Ingredients
To Play
-
Write down 100 words on index
cards (one word per index card), such as blink, stare, lint, thread, plate,
bra, and shoelace -- any words you like.
-
Stack the cards and put them in
the center of the room.
-
Divide the players into 2 teams
and seat them opposite each other.
-
Set the timer or stopwatch for
one minute.
-
Have the first player from Team
One draw a card from the pile and give clues to the word to his or her
teammates before the timer ends the play.
-
If the word is "blink", the team
member might say, "What you do if dust gets in your eyes?" Players from Team
One try to guess the word; if they are successful before the time is up,
they get a point.
-
If the timer runs out and the
word is not guessed, the other team gets a point. Take turns until all the
cards are gone. Then add up points to see who wins.
Who Am I?
Ingredients
-
Index Cards
-
Double Sided Tape
To Play
-
Write the names of famous people
on index cards and tape one card to the back of each guest.
-
Have everyone walk around in the
same room, and instruct them not to mention the name on each person's back,
but to talk to everyone as if they are the person on their card.
-
As people begin to correctly
guess their identity, they have to continue to treat the people who still
don't know their identity like the people whose name is taped to their back.
When everyone guesses his or her "true identity" then the game is over.
No-Mirror Make-Over
One of the best themes for a
sleepover party for teenage girls is a Makeover theme. Host a beauty contest in
which the contestants have to apply all of their make-up without a mirror. This
is a game in which the most hideous contestant wins the prize. Make sure to take
some nice blackmail photos of all the contestants!
Ingredients
To Play
-
On the invitation tell the girls
to bring their makeup...all of it!
-
Have everyone set it out.
-
Then, set a five-minute timer.
Everyone has five minutes to put her makeup on without a mirror.
-
The girl with the most hideous
makeup on wins.
Murder
Ingredients
To Play
-
Label one piece of paper with the
word “Murderer.”
-
Put slips of paper into a hat.
The number of papers should be the same as the number of guests.
-
Have your guests each choose one
slip of paper; they should not show it to anyone else.
-
Each slip of paper will be blank
except of one that says "Murderer."
-
The guest who picks "Murderer"
has to walk around the party and "kill" people by winking at them. As soon
as one of the guests is winked at, he/she has to count to three and then
fall on the floor.
-
If someone knows who the murderer
is, they have to say, "Stop! I know who the Murderer is." If the accuser is
wrong, then he/she is "dead" and out of the game. If the accuser is correct,
then the game is over, and he/she is the winner.
Truth or Dare
Ingredients
To Play
-
Gather your guests into a group
and have a seat. Choose one person to begin.
-
The "beginner" gets to choose who
goes first by asking someone "Truth or dare?"
-
The chosen person must respond
either "Truth" or "Dare." If he/she responds "Truth", then he/she must
respond truthfully to any question asked. If he/she responds, "Dare" he/she
must perform a dare that is presented to him/her no matter what.
-
Prizes are not usually awarded.
However, if the host/hostess chooses, small prizes can be awarded for dares
once they are successfully completed.
Nutty Sleep-Over Antics
-
Here are some fun things that can
be done to the first people who fall asleep knowledge of this should keep
the party going for quite a while.
-
Put the sleeper's hand in warm
water- this is supposed to induce them to have to go to the bathroom
-
Throw someone's panties/bra in
the freezer
-
Place a rubber snake on the
pillow of an "early sleeper"
-
Put shaving cream on a sleeper's
hand and then tickle their nose with a feather. Isn't a face full of shaving
cream what all "Party Poopers" deserve?
