Today’s post is full of FUN! I’m sharing a bunch of games and things to do at a sleepover. Bookmark or pin this for your next sleepover!
One of the best things about childhood is having friends over for a sleepover.
My daughter is 8 and loves doing sleepovers with her bestie.
I even know some adults who still love to host sleepovers with their friends!
So, today, I’m sharing fun things to do at a sleepover for kids and adults of all ages.
Let’s get started!
We have a lot of categories, simply scroll down to view them all.
You can also access our ultimate list of hobbies for many, many more ideas for sleepover activites!
Sleepover Games
Sleepover games are a super fun way to spend time with your friends.
Some of these games you can purchase in advance, and some you can do with supplies you probably already have on hand in your home.
These are great for after dinner, and before you want to wind down for the night with a movie, etc.
Sudoku-A fun and challenging game, Sudoku is a great activity to try at a sleepover for kids and adults alike. Working together to solve a Sudoku puzzle promotes teamwork and keeps everyone engaged as they try to fill in the grid. It’s satisfying to watch the puzzle come together with everyone’s input, making it a fun, brain-boosting way to pass the time together. You can find free sudoku puzzles here.
