Have you invited your best friend to sleep with you and you don't have a clue what to do? Don't worry: the fact that there are only two of you does not mean that it will be less fun. Sometimes, spending time with just one person can be particularly meaningful, not to mention that you will have the opportunity to come up with many creative ideas. Ask her what she likes to do, be flexible and have fun!
Steps
Part 1 of 4: Creative Uses for Trivial Objects
Step 1. Build a fort with blankets, chairs, clothes pegs and pillows in the living room or bedroom
- Use pillows or clothespins to attach blankets to chairs.
- Once the fort is complete, place pillows and blankets on the floor, then enter it.
- You can also decorate it with rows of lights.
Step 2. Create hand crafts
Ask your parents to give you scraps of fabric, ribbons, glue, beads, buttons, and other items you have lying around the house. With your friend, think about creative projects to do together. Here are some examples:
- Friendship Bracelets.
- You work with pasta (create words with spaghetti).
- Necklaces with paper chains.
- Garlands for the door.
- Cards for relatives or friends.
Step 3. Prepare some cookies
See what you have in the fridge and pantry to make chocolate or sugar cookies. Ask your parents to give you a cookbook or search for them online.
Step 4. Create a background for taking photos
Get cool items, a camera, and some wrapping paper. Secure it to the wall with adhesive tape and take lots of photos of each other while holding the objects you have chosen. You can also set the self-timer.
Step 5. Make a movie or music video, but don't take yourself seriously
Shoot with a camera, camcorder or any other device. Laugh, sing, dance, tell jokes and you will have a lot of fun.
Step 6. Dance
Listen to your favorite songs at full blast and dance.
Part 2 of 4: Recreating an In-Home Beauty Salon
Step 1. Apply nail polish
Make a large assortment of nail polishes and pick one, then do each other's manicures.
Step 2. Style your hair
Prepare rubber bands, straighteners, curling irons, and hairspray. Comb your friend by doing creative hairstyles. You can curl her hair, straighten it, make an elaborate or weird updo. Try out different ideas and take lots of photos.
Step 3. Make yourself a mask
You can prepare it at home or buy it. Don't forget to put some cucumber slices over your eyes.
Part 3 of 4: Games
Step 1. Play classic sleepover games
You can start with Truth or Dare, but also with Assassin, Mime or Hide and Seek.
It can be difficult to play with two, so give it a try: if it's obvious or boring, do something else
Step 2. Have a pillow fight in a place where you have enough space, so you don't bump into a piece of furniture
Also, try not to hit yourself too hard.
Step 3. Look for board or other games at home
Twister is a timeless classic, and the same goes for card games like Black Man and Go Fish. If your parents have an old Taboo, grab the buzzer and use it when your friend starts dozing off (she can do the same with you).
Step 4. Play outside
If it's not too late, go out and play basketball or tag. Invite the neighbors to join you.
Step 5. Go on a treasure hunt
Think of a list of items to find or places to go, then split up. Bring a camera to take pictures and prove that you have found a certain object. If you can't leave the house, plan an indoor treasure hunt. When you find an object, take a nice photo. In the end, review them with your friend to laugh about them. You can collaborate or compete to see who finds more things.
Part 4 of 4: Stand up all night
Step 1. Chat all night
After gorging yourself on sweets and trying different activities, you will be tired and perhaps in the mood to gossip: there is no better time than now to talk about your lives and exchange secrets. Get in your bed or sleeping bag and talk about any topic that comes to mind.
Step 2. Try to stand up as much as possible
At the beginning of the evening, promise to stay awake, you might even have a race.
Step 3. Tell yourself horror stories
Turn off the lights, get into your sleeping bag, grab a flashlight and share your scariest stories. If you get scared, at least you won't be alone.
Not everyone responds well to horror stories, so make sure your friend doesn't have a problem listening to them and isn't too scared
Step 4. Make phone jokes
Grab the phone book to find the number of the guy your friend likes. Call him or leave him a voice message.
- Make sure she doesn't have your number, otherwise it could be embarrassing.
- Before calling, make sure your friend is willing to play a phone prank.
- Do not call a random number, otherwise you may have problems. Make sure you only call people who would have a laugh if they found out it was you.
Step 5. Watch movies
Go into a video rental or grab one from your collection. You may be interested in horror movies, drama, comedy or romantic comedy. Choose it according to your mood.
- No movie night is complete without popcorn and other snacks.
- Get everything set up by turning off the lights, grabbing pillows and blankets. Make yourself comfortable in front of the screen.
- If you always doze off during a movie, keep the light on: you will be alert and alert.
Step 6. Organize a marathon of your favorite show
You can watch it on Netflix or search for a marathon on television. See all the episodes you can before falling asleep.
Advice
- Just think about having fun and having a nice evening with your best friend.
- If your friend doesn't want to do something that interests you, try not to be offended. Offer her another activity that both of you would like.
- Always prepare mouth-watering foods. Gorging on chips, pizza, fizzy drinks and desserts is the icing on the cake at a sleepover.
- If you have a fight, try to talk about it and compromise. You certainly don't want your friend to call her parents in the middle of the night to come and get her.
- Playing with a pet (if you have one) is always fun should you run out of ideas.
- You may want to think about some ideas before your friend arrives, but don't be too rigid or inflexible: be available and follow the progress of the evening.
- Invent a choreography. You will keep yourself moving and have fun.
- If you have music, a camera, a cell phone or a camera, create a video or play one you like. You can find several free apps to help you in the making.
- Don't watch a sad movie, otherwise you might get depressed and bored.
- Eat healthy foods to stay awake longer. You will have more energy during the night, so you can stand longer and have fun or chat in bed.
Warnings
- Some people don't like to stay up late. If your friend wants to go to sleep before you do, respect her decision. Don't make fun of her and don't try to keep her awake. Also, someone has to take medicines that cause drowsiness.
- If they catch you red-handed while messing with toilet paper, throwing eggs or knocking on neighbors' doors and then escape, you risk serious consequences and the sleepover could end. Since someone could call the police, it is best to avoid these pranks completely.
- Don't make too much noise. Try to be quiet so you don't wake your parents.
- If your friend's parents don't know yours well, they may not allow her to sleep with you. Try not to take it personally - some parents don't feel like letting their kids spend the night at strangers' homes.
- Sometimes it's best to avoid classic sleepover jokes. Your friend may not be willing to do them.
