19 totally awesome sleepover activities

Every sleepover needs some fun games, right? Sure, you can go for the classics like Monopoly, Scrabble, and Clue…or spice things up with a pizza-themed twist on Twister.

To play this game, the goal is to be crafty! Start by gathering supplies like stiffened felt, scissors, double-sided tape, a vinyl tablecloth (opt for flannel backing to prevent slipping), cardboard, yellow paper, masking tape, markers, and a split pin fastener.

Next, begin by cutting a square from the cardboard and covering it with paper, securing the edges with masking tape. Then, divide the square into four sections and draw four different toppings in each section. Once you’re done with that, add directions to each quadrant.

Afterwards, create an arrow from cardboard, cover it with masking tape, poke a hole at one end, and attach it to the center of the board using the split pin fastener (make sure it can spin freely).

Finally, cut out toppings from felt and affix them to the tablecloth using double-sided tape.

Sleepovers are a blast when you turn them into a makeover extravaganza. Bring out the sheet masks and nail polish, or dive into the world of trendy hairstyles.

While braids and ponies are timeless choices, don't shy away from experimenting with fresh styles like faux hawks, topsy-twist ponytails, and waterfall braids. Who knows, you might just become a pro at these looks for those days when your hair just won't cooperate!

Remember those awesome sleepovers you used to have with all the arts and crafts? How about letting the kids enjoy that same kind of fun with this cool DIY wooden rubber stamp activity? Just gather up some wooden cubes, sweet foam stickers, paint, a brush, painter’s tape, and ink pads.

To make your own stamps, stick a sticker on one side of the cube for stamping. Get creative with tape to make patterns on the other sides, paint over them, let it dry, peel off the tape, and pop them in a loot bag to take home.

If you’re stumped on a sleepover craft/goodie bag idea, look no further! These emoji necklaces are super adorable and keep the kids entertained.

Roll out the clay, cut out discs, poke holes, and bake at 110°C for 30 minutes, then let them cool before drawing emoji faces and stringing them with beads.

If you're looking for a fun sleepover idea, why not try tie-dyeing some pillowcases, t-shirts, or PJ bottoms? It's a hit with kids of all ages, and allows you to flex your creative muscle.

When it comes to sleepovers, movies are a must!
