Consider the personalities of your slumber party guests when beginning to plan games to play. Some people are shy about role playing games or activities in which they have to read aloud.

2
Dig through the closet or basement where you store away games at home. You might rediscover some old favorites that would be perfect for a slumber party, such as Password, Clue or Uno. And what game could be better for a slumber party than the classic Twister?

Shop for the latest in party games from an online retailer. If you really want to amaze and entertainment your guests for hours, try the little hand-held electronic version of 20 Questions. You'll think this gizmo can actually read your mind!

4
Designate one person to be in charge of reading and explaining instructions on the games to be played. There's always at least one person in the crowd who seems born to interpret and explain complicated directions to the group.

Direct your slumber party guests into a game of pantomime. Each person can take turns portraying a well known personality by gestures alone, with no speaking or verbal clues being allowed. The rest of the group then tries to figure out who is being imitated.

Tips & Warnings
Provide some simple and inexpensive prizes to award when playing games at your slumber party. Items such as lip balm, silly socks, cheap sunglasses or key chains are some ideas.
Set a timeline for each activity to keep your slumber party moving along smoothly. For instance, allow so much time for general socializing and to let your guests partake of ample food and drink before moving on to playing games.
If a debate about which games to play erupts, settle the matter democratically by taking a vote.

I was invited to a women's slumber party and we played a really fun game. It is called Girlfriends' Intuition, and let me tell you that it was the most fun ever! We laughed until we cried. It was just hilarious. Oh my goodness, talk about a FUN time!! I would recommend this game to any women who wants to host an out-of-this-world party.
