Sleepover Party Games

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
Just Add Guests! ™

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
Index Cards

Dessert Recipes

Ingredients to Make the Desserts
Measuring Cups & Spoons
Baking Dishes
Bowls

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
Index Cards

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
Makeup

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
Slips of Paper
Hat

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
Just Add Guests! ™

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?
