Best Girls Slumber Party Games Ever

Thinking of inviting your friends for a sleepover, this weekend? Then go through these slumber party games for a fun-filled sleepover. Read on...

I was planning to invite my close friends for a slumber party, last week. But mum said, "No". I was very disappointed. For the whole of last week, I kept thinking about why my elder sister is allowed to enjoy sleepovers and I am not. I thought I needed to grow up to my sister's age to be able to enjoy girls' slumber parties. But yesterday, I found I was wrong...'coz my mum announced having organized a slumber party for my friends. I am so thrilled about the very idea of a sleepover. I have already started planning some exciting slumber party games. I can't wait for the weekend! - Anne, a young teen.

Slumber parties are about getting together some close friends for a fun-filled night out. They are about pillow fights, building forts out of pillows and blankets, watching movies and relishing pizzas and candies. Girls' slumber parties often include spa nights, makeover activities and most importantly gossiping about...well, everything in the world! Mostly, these sleepovers are coupled with some exciting slumber party games, making the night out, an enjoyable experience. Here are some of them. Take a look.

Pass It On: This games is a slight variation of an old game known as 'passing the parcel'. Have your guests sit in a circle and then put on some soft music. Ask the participants to keep passing the soft toy along the circle, till the music stops. Stop the music at any random time. The one who was holding the soft toy at the moment the music stopped, is the defaulter. Announce a punishment for her. You can vary this game by using a pillow as a parcel. You can even tag the soft toy or the pillow with chits that have punishments written on them. Playing this game in the dark, makes it even more exciting. Yes, switch off the lights in your room and let the music begin!

Mimic in Sleep: Well, this game needs some acting skills. Write names of cartoons or story characters or famous actors on chits. Now pick one chit and announce the name of the person or character written on it. Ask your guests to pretend to be sleeping before you announce the name. Each of the participants has to mimic the character you have announced, with her eyes closed. (Remember, they are sleeping or at least pretending to be asleep.) You can also ask one of your guests to judge the participants' performances and choose the best actor - the 'mimic of the night'!

We Need Some Light: This game is played in the dark. You need to plan some challenging activities, which are difficult to carry out in the dark. Organize activities like pouring lemonade from one bottle to another without spilling, or cutting a loaf of bread into equal slices, or guessing the flavor of candy by smelling it. Well, such activities can make your room messy. So, be prepared to clean it up before your mum finds out! Divide the guests into teams of 2-3, depending on their total number and ask each of the teams to carry out these activities in a stipulated amount of time. Remember, every activity has to be carried out in complete darkness. Make a rule to allow each team to use light only once. Or score each activity out of say 100, where the team that uses light for any particular activity loses 50 points.

Who is Who: This game also needs to be played in the dark. So, switch off all the lights in your room and assign one of your guests, the role of guessing who's who! You can ask the 'guesser' to leave the room for a while, till the rest of you decide your roles. Decide what each of you is going to say. Ask the 'guesser' to come in and start chanting what you had planned to. The guesser needs to make out, who is saying what. She earns a point for every correct guess.

Other Slumber Party Games: Depending on the number of participants, you can arrange to play video games, cards or popular board games like Nintendo and Xbox 30. You can organize a scavenger hunt in the dark or play hide and seek. 'Truth or Dare', 'Chinese Whispers' and 'Two Truths and a Lie' are some of the other interesting sleepover games. Watching scary movies and online videos can be exciting slumber party activities for some of you, while others may enjoy watching personal videos with close friends, cherishing some beautiful moments spent together. Add a fun element to your slumber party by trying out some sleepover pranks.

These were some of the interesting things to do at a slumber party. Use your creativity to come up with more of such exciting sleepover activities and get ready for a gala time. Aren't you organizing a slumber party this weekend? I am sure, you are!

Best Fun Party Games for Couples Ever

A party can often turn dull if all the guests don't know each other. Planning and organizing fun party games for couples can ensure your guests familiarize themselves with one another and have a good time.

Fun party games for couples serve a dual purpose of helping guests interact and keeping everyone entertained. A great way to get everyone comfortable is with an icebreaker game. Sometimes, it takes a few games for everyone to loosen up and get the party started. If you find that your guests really enjoy the games, then you can play a few more. It is good to plan the games before the party, and keep the game supplies and prizes ready. Here are a few fun party games for couples that are sure to make your parties known as the best ones in town!

Famous Couples
To prepare for this game, you need to write the names of famous couples on mailing labels. You will need as many as the number of people you have invited. As your guests arrive, stick a label onto each persons back. The game is played by each person asking the other people at the party one question about the famous couple that can be answered with a yes or no. While the first person to guess correctly wins, the game should be allowed to go on until most of your guests figure out their famous couple. This serves as a great icebreaker activity and forces everyone to start talking.

Mix and Match
The supplies required for this game are a good number of oversized items of both male and female clothing. Try to put together a good combination of items, from pantyhose and lingerie to shoes and hats, but ensure that there are an equal number of both the male and female clothing items. Pile all the pieces of clothing into a large laundry basket. As the host, you can be in charge of the timing. When you yell go, all the couples run to the basket and start getting dressed. The men put on the women clothing and the women put on the men clothing, over their own clothing. In a short time you must yell stop. The couples should stop and find their mate and stand in a line. The best dressed couple wins.

Bag a Mate
This game requires brown paper bags. Separate the men and women into different rooms. Put a large paper bag over each person's head and send both the groups back into one room. No one is allowed to speak, and each person must find his or her mate by feeling around. The first couple to find each other must quietly come and tell the host, and they are the winners. This will allow all the others to continue playing. You can stop the game when each person finds his or her partner.

Sniper
Place as many cards as the players and ensure that there is only one joker in the set. Everyone gets in a circle so they can see everyone else. Place the cards in the center of the circle and have everyone take one. Then tell them that the person who has picked the joker is the sniper. The sniper kills people by winking at them. Everyone has to look around to find the sniper. Each person who is winked at calls out "I'm dead", and moves out of the circle. No one can wink but the sniper. If anyone thinks they have identified the sniper they should point that person out. However, if you get it wrong, then you are dead and out. If you are right, then you've won the game.

Garage Sale
For this game you need to to pass around blank pieces of paper to all your guests. Tell each guest to write down the name of a household item that they would love to get rid of. Under it, they have to list five reasons why they would like to get rid of it. Once everyone is done writing, tell them to cross out the name of that item and write the name of their spouse or partner in its place. Then each person has to read out their list saying, "I want to replace 'Andrew' because he is…". This game gets a lot of laughs and the one with the funniest list wins.

While preparing for these fun party games for couples, ensure that you have prizes ready for the winners. These games are a great way for your guests to let go of their inhibitions, be silly and have a lot of fun together.

Best House warming Party Games Ever

You've moved into a new house and it's time to celebrate! Take a look at some of these housewarming party games that can make your party perfect.

A housewarming party need not always be a formal event. In fact, by including housewarming party games as part of your party theme, you can actually create a fun and memorable evening for all your guests, and have them meet each other in a natural informal setting. To be able to incorporate these games in your housewarming party, ensure that you host it at a time convenient for everyone, and that your guests do not have any other social engagements. This is important because a good amount of time is required to enjoy all these housewarming party games.

Housewarming Party Games and Ideas

These interesting housewarming games to play can be a terrific inclusion in your party ideas, to get all your guests to gel together; old neighbors with new neighbors and new neighbors with old friends.

Key In and Win
The game is as simple as it sounds. Divide your guests into groups, depending on the number of rooms you have. Include closets in the game too. Give every group a big bunch of keys, that includes the original key to the room. The group that finds the right key and open the door first wins. This game is a great way of showing around your house to the guests.

Discover My Home
Everyone knows about this game that we've all played through childhood. A treasure hunt is another innovative way of showing around your guests. Create a list of unique artifacts and items you have used to decorate your house. Have your guests write down the exact location of the item. Make the game interesting by adding small knickknacks to the list, that are not easily noticeable. Also, the description of the item should not be direct. These tricks will make the game more challenging.

Home Is Where the Art Is
Leave an empty wall in your house and have all your guests come together to create one gigantic painting for that wall. No one has to be a Picasso to perform this task. Its uniqueness lies in the effort of the several brains that have come together to create one huge painting. This painting can be done on a canvas, or directly on the empty wall, depending on your choice. Also, a huge consideration in this game is your own personality. An interesting twist in this game is that it will help you gauge how well your old friends know you, and what your new neighbors think of you.

A Memory for Everyone
Divide your guests into groups depending on the number of rooms you have. Guide each guest to a locked room. Open the door, and let them take in the different contents of the room for exactly one minute. Have them come back and write the number of items that they remember within a time span, say 2 minutes. The group that enlists the maximum number of items wins.

Your Dream is My Dream
Have your guests draw out visions of their dream home. A humorous challenge for the guests would be to make the drawings blindfolded. Collect the drawings once they have been completed, and try to understand what exactly the guests have tried to portray, before you ask them to explain their drawings, in case they are not self-explanatory. You can then create a collage of these drawings and put them up at a unique spot in your house, as a memory of a fun and entertaining housewarming party.

Being Lazy Pays Off
You may not have had the time to decorate a particular room or area, or have just been exhausted from moving to be able to do it. Have your guests do it for you. Bring out all the artifacts and knickknacks you have chosen for that room, and let your guests feel at home by giving them a chance to have a hand in designing your house. Make it interesting by including the housewarming gifts that the guests have brought, as part of the decor.
