Step 1
Determine your rules for the sleepover party. Decide on how many kids you'll allow your child to invite. Four to six children is best. Plan where the tweens will sleep and determine what time they will go to bed.
-
Step 2
Shop for snacks that tweens enjoy, as well as some healthier options. Pick up some chips, pretzels, candy, pure fruit juice and vegetables with dip. Involve your tween in the selection.
-
Step 3
Plan a list of activities for the sleepover. Consider having the tweens make their own individual mini-pizzas, create a scavenger hunt for objects you've hidden around your house and in your yard, set up a craft table for art projects or allow the tweens to bake cookies.
-
Step 4
Research some popular tween movies and rent them or borrow them from library. Ask your tween for a list of her preferences to make the process easier.
-
Step 5
Play some of your tween's favorite music during the sleepover party. Encourage the tweens to make up their own dances. Provide them with hair brushes, spatulas and spoons so they can act like rock stars.
-
Step 6
Set out board games for the tweens to play after you've gone to bed. This activity is generally quieter than the others you might have planned.
-
Step 7
Pitch a few tents outside in your yard. Host the tween slumber party there instead of inside your house. Encourage the tweens to tell each other scary stories while gathered around a small fire in an outdoor fire pit. Stay with the tweens to supervise the fire.
