Slumber Party Games


With the winter fast approaching and the darker days with us (if you’re reading from the southern hemisphere, maybe bookmark this post for your winter!), it’s really fun to have some slumber parties, where the girls can exchange scary stories and sip hot chocolate while it rains outside.

However, this isn’t enough for a slumber party, so you’ll need some slumber party games for kids to keep them entertained. One such game is Scary Story!

storybookEach girl takes it in turns to say three words, with all of the girls telling the story. No one has any idea where the story could take them, but it should be decided upfront whether the story is a scary story or a non-scary story. If you like, each girl can have a secret mission to steer the course of the story towards a particular storyline, with the others guessing which girl has which mission. This uses their creative minds and is great fun to listen to!

Halloween is the perfect time to let your daughter hold a slumber party. Beyond the usual DVDs, you need to include some fun slumber party activities to keep everyone involved and having fun.

One of my daughters’ favorites is to do pumpkin carving. Best of all, the inside of the pumpkin could be used to make a delicious pumpkin soup or pie. Deciding whether you involve the girls in the cooking will develop on their age.

Telling age-appropriate scary stories is also fun, and you can’t beat getting all the girls to dress up in costumes to make the event go off with a bang!

Slumber parties are a great time for girls to enjoy some slumber party dress up games.

These can be as wide ranging as you can imagine; and it’s a great idea to let the girls come up with some suggestions of what they would like to dress up as.

Maybe they want to be fairies or princesses; maybe they want to be glamorous actresses or French models! It’s excellent preparation to buy a few metres of cheap fabric or curtain material, so the girls can make their own costumes. Have some make-up and hair styling products and accessories handy too!

The girls could compete to dress up in record time; maybe the other girls could decide what the chosen girl should dress up as!
