Do you find yourself sitting with your friends every Friday night trying to come up with something to do? It can be quite boring and unnerving, and sadly it happens very easily. Instead of spending another weekend yawning and lazily scrolling through your Facebook profile, look for ways to have creative and interesting fun. The key is to let go of the hesitations and remember to be comfortable in company.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Have Fun Outside the Home
Step 1. Go to karaoke
Many times, nothing is more fun than performing with your best friends. Sing out loud and shoot yourself on camera. Invent nice choreographies and melt. Do not feel uncomfortable: if you are not an artist, the fun can only double. Does it bother you to sing alone? Involve a friend or two. Choose old songs, which maybe make you go back to the days of elementary school, and interpret them without being ashamed.
If you are a karaoke lover, you may want to invest in a special device to keep at home, so you will feel even less uncomfortable. Just remember that part of the fun is making a fool of yourself in front of complete strangers
Step 2. Spend an evening making friendship bracelets and bowling
You don't have to be good to have fun. Invite your friends to go bowling with a bracelet making set. As you play, make these accessories so you won't be bored for a minute. It can be a fun way to get everyone involved.
Bowling can be boring if there are many of you, and you have to wait your turn for an eternity. Making bracelets while you wait can keep you entertained throughout the evening
Step 3. Create a slide
If it's hot outside and the air is humid, nothing beats having fun and cooling down. Invite your friends for a day of pure fun. Make a slide by spreading oilcloth on a hilly area. Be sure to secure it to the ground so it won't fly away! Then, take an irrigation hose and alternate to pour water on the surface so that all of them can slide. Afterwards, organize a water balloon contest, then dry off and snack on lemonade and brownies.
- You are never too old for this game! It can be a fun way to find your childish side.
- You can also buy an inflatable slide, but it's not as fun as making your own.
Step 4. Play softball
Invite a group of nine or ten friends to the park for some sport. You don't have to be a skilled athlete to have fun, and the game doesn't have to be competitive at all. However, you can predict a prize: the losing team will offer a pizza to the winners. Agree to play just a couple of hours and make sure you don't take it too seriously. Team sports help deepen a friendship and, at the same time, allow you to do some movement.
If some are bored but still want to be outdoors, you could do the wheel, play kickball, or try to create a human pyramid
Step 5. Plan a picnic
It is not an activity that is done only in the family. During the weekend, you can spend a nice afternoon having a picnic in the park, the lake or even in your garden. Invite some friends. You will only need a blanket and lightly processed foods, such as sandwiches, bread, cheese, grapes, hummus and pita chips. You can also eat pizza or sushi for a bit of variation. The important thing is that you have fun, relax and taste all the delicacies you have brought.
- You can ask each participant to bring something different, so that everyone contributes.
- You can also propose fun outdoor activities at the end of the picnic, such as ring shooting, badminton or Frisbee.
Step 6. Plan an afternoon at the park to play on the rides
Sure, you may think they are only suitable for elementary school children, but nothing will stop you from remembering how fun they were. Time will fly between swings, roundabouts, slides or games like captive ball or catcher. Forget any embarrassment and enjoy the moment.
- If they are true friends, you have nothing to prove. Having a good time and letting yourself go is more important than behaving in a mature way, at least in this context.
- If you want to have the park all to yourself, go around sunset so there are less likely to be children.
Step 7. Play outdoor manhunt
It's another underrated activity but perfect for teenagers. Instead of playing indoors, do it outside, perhaps when it's dark. To feel safer, you can organize it at sunset and without leaving home. Just like with the classic hide-and-seek, one participant has to count while all the others disperse in a certain area, looking for a good place to hide. Darkness and open air are two factors that will make the game more fun and engaging.
If the person who counted sees you, you can still try to run and get to safety. Provided you keep yourself safe, it's a fun way to spend a few carefree hours
Step 8. Go to the beach
If one of your friends has a driving license or you live in a seaside area, plan a trip to the beach on the weekend. Sunbathe, relax, read gossip magazines, dive into the water and build a sand castle. Then, stroll along the seafront, play some games and maybe go around the town. Remember that you are never too old for this experience.
They all have that friend who hates going to the beach because she's afraid of getting burned. Make sure you convince her to follow you and bring an umbrella with you, or rent one, to keep her happy
Step 9. Go to a thrift store
Spending an afternoon in such a place is one of the funniest experiences you can share with your friends. Pick one in the area and have fun with all the clothes and other odd items you can find. Set a goal: everyone will have to buy just one garment and wear it for the rest of the evening. Try on quirky clothing and snap some photos and have a laugh when you look at them again.
The secret is not to take yourself too seriously. You're not going to buy the dress for your 18th birthday party, you're just having fun
Method 2 of 3: Have fun at home
Step 1. Prepare a tasty dinner
One night, invite the girls over and cook a delicious three-course meal. Choose your starter, main course and dessert in advance so you can get all the ingredients you need and get to work right away. Then, follow the recipes to the letter to get a good result, whether it's a watermelon-based salad or a mushroom risotto. Try relatively easy and quick dishes, so you can enjoy them right away and without much effort.
- Once all your friends have arrived, turn on the stereo and give yourself the tasks to do: Elisabetta can cut the cheese, Veronica can wash the vegetables, Maria can boil the rice and so on. Chat and have fun. Leave the background music to make this activity even more enjoyable.
- If one of your friends hates cooking, you don't have to force her to participate, but you can put her to tidy up.
Step 2. Dance like crazy
Turn on the stereo to full blast, dance and sing to hit songs, or listen to your favorites by choosing a CD or selecting them from the iPod. Have fun dancing wildly or maybe creating a specific choreography for a certain piece. The important thing is to ignore what you might look like: go wild and don't be ashamed.
You can also teach each other some choreography, such as The Wobble or The Cupid Shuffle. Have fun among yourselves or perform for other friends, brothers or sisters
Step 3. Play with your pets
When you invite your friends over, playing with your four-legged friend is another fun activity. Take the dog to the garden or park and throw him a Frisbee. Pick up the hamster and pet him in turn. If you have a kitten that loves chasing a feather, invite your friends to play with it, provided the feline has no problems. You may think that playing with a furry friend is childish, but in fact it is a nice and different time than usual even for a teenager.
If the dog is to be taken for a walk, you can go together. This will allow everyone to bond with your four-legged friend and get some physical activity. Plus, you might meet some cute guys while you're out and about
Step 4. Prepare garnished sundaes together
Go to the supermarket with a couple of friends and buy everything you need to do it: ice cream, bananas, chocolate syrup, cherries in alcohol and chopped peanuts or any other ingredient you like. You can also buy cones to crush and place on the bottom of the cup to make it even tastier. Then, organize a party in the kitchen: everyone will make their own ice cream, which will be enjoyed with refreshing drinks or milk.
- You can also add sprinkles on the ice cream.
- If you have friends on a diet, you could offer them frozen yogurt.
- Caramel sauce is just as tasty as chocolate sauce.
Step 5. Play old games inspired by your childhood
You may think that board games are no longer for you because you are too old to enjoy them yet. However, you can end up enjoying yourself like crazy for an entire evening, whether you choose Monopoly, Twister, mime or any other game you haven't played in a while. Don't worry about looking immature - what matters is being well together.
Recover all the board games of your childhood, especially those suitable for girls: you will see that you will know how to have fun as when you were little
Step 6. Prank the kids you know on the phone
Of course, this activity must be taken with a grain of salt and done in small doses, because otherwise you risk getting yourself in trouble. Calling an acquaintance and teasing him for a few minutes or catching him off guard is, however, a fun pastime. Call the guy one of you has a crush on or a friend's boyfriend. Play with your voices. Ask him if he has ordered pizza or to go to the principal's office as soon as possible.
Call from a number this guy doesn't have in his address book or make an anonymous phone call so he doesn't see it at all. If you have a landline phone and can also hear the call from other devices, it will be even more fun: more girls will be able to hear the conversation
Step 7. Create a scrapbook
Don't think that scrapbooking is an "old" activity. Invite a couple of friends you've known for a long time and fill a basket with old photos, letters, trinkets and souvenirs that make you rethink your friendship. Today fewer and fewer people are printing their own photographs, and it can be nice to create an album entirely dedicated to you. It's also a great way to keep a variety of memories as the years go by.
Just make sure you've known all the girls you invite for a while and that they've been friends for some time too, so that no one feels left out
Step 8. Organize a classic movie night
Invite your friends to watch your favorite Audrey Hepburn or Alfred Hitchcock movies. Prepare the popcorn and curl up under the covers. Not only will you deepen your film culture (especially if it's an old movie), but you will also have fun. Aren't you a fan of the classics? You can alternate them with something more modern or that has recently been successful at the box office.
A movie night is ideal when combined with a sleepover, so invite your friends to stop and sleep. After watching the movie, you can chat
Method 3 of 3: Fun in the name of Fashion and Beauty
Step 1. Go shop windows
Take a tour of the mall with the aim of not buying anything. Instead of feeling compelled to shop or find the perfect dress, stroll through the shops together and have fun trying on the most unusual and original pieces of clothing you see. Show each other the most interesting clothes and the ones you find ugly. Instead of splitting up so that everyone can enter their favorite store, stay together and maybe walk arm in arm, so you can fully share this moment.
Make a deal: the only thing you can buy is an ice cream, a sandwich or a yogurt. No one will have to worry about finding the perfect dress
Step 2. Take a photo shoot
Put on your favorite clothes and have fun while taking pictures of yourself over the course of an entire day. Decide to take at least 100 shots within 24 hours, then pick the best ones and create an album. You can also take pictures of yourself jumping, making funny faces or dancing with your hair covering your face. Many people complain that they don't have enough photos with their friends, so take advantage of this service to enrich your collection.
You can also take pictures on different backgrounds, from the shopping center to the woods near your home. Play. Don't take yourself too seriously
Step 3. Parade onto the catwalk
Pretend to be a model: make bizarre combinations of clothes, put on high-heeled shoes, create elaborate hairstyles and walk confidently. Put on a surly expression, typical of supermodels, choose the right music and walk as if you were on a catwalk, without even hinting at a smile. While one of you parades, the others should sit in the audience and look seriously as they wave fashion magazines to cool off. The effect will be very realistic.
- The more ridiculous you try to be, the more fun it will be. Put on a garbage bag and tell everyone it's a futuristic and latest trend.
- Glue leaves on a white t-shirt and say it's the hottest trend of the fall season.
Step 4. Make each other blindfolded
After you blindfold yourself, have fun putting makeup on one of your friends. Once you're done, take off your blindfold and have a laugh at the crazy look you've created! Alternate until you are all made up: the results will be nothing short of hilarious. You can even take photos for proof if you want! Just make sure you are careful and don't accidentally put your fingers in your eyes or hurt yourself.
For even more fun, you can pretend you're happy with the result and ready to go out, proud of your disastrous tricks
Step 5. Swap clothes
Ask each of your friends to bring along a bag full of clothes she no longer wants. Then, show each other what you have: when a girl is interested in a boss, she should raise her hand to let it be known. It's a fun way to put clothes you no longer wear to good use and spend an afternoon with friends. While you can't swap all the pieces, you can just have fun trying on those quirky garments that you regretted bitterly after purchase.
If two girls want the same dress, decide how to decide who will get it. They can have a dance contest, play Chinese morra, or stare at each other until one of them laughs. This will make trading even more fun
Step 6. Arrange a meeting to create accessories
If you don't have a friend who is an expert in jewelery making, pop into a shop that sells DIY items and get yourself beads, nylon strings for bracelets and necklaces, hooks for earrings and any other tools you need to unleash your creativity. your creativity. Then, get together and have fun making accessories.
- Buying beads and accessories can be a little expensive, so split the costs now.
- You can also look for inspiration online or do whatever comes to mind.
Step 7. Get a manicure
Instead of booking a salon and spending a fortune, you can give each other manicures and pedicures while chatting. In addition to lacquering your nails, add decorations by drawing them with a brush or attaching stickers. Try fake nails. To make it more professional, first immerse your hands and feet in a basin full of lavender-scented water.
Not only is it cheaper than going to the beautician, you will also be able to chat like this
