Valentine's Day Slumber Party Games for Girls

Given that you have the entire night (or even if it a faux slumber party) make Valentine’s Day decorations at your party. Purchase balloons, red and pink construction paper, glitter glue, markers, pipe cleaners, and cotton balls. Your guests can create valentines, blow up balloons, and make paper chains and cupids to decorate your home.

• Play a game of Valentine Charades.

• Make up a romantic story, or a fairytale story for young children. Provide writing supplies and have the kids write a number-one-best-selling romantic tale. Have everyone decide on the heroine's name and then write it on a piece of paper. Fold the paper over and pass it to the first writer. She will think up the name for the hero. Continue to pass the paper along, and ask each guest to take on a different plot point, such as how the boy and girl meet, their first words, what happened next, what action happened to pull them apart, what heroic action took place to bring them together again, what their best friends think, etc. Make sure to have each guest fold the paper down after she has written her part. After the story is done, open the entire piece of paper and read it aloud!

• Using boxes of conversation hearts, have the group make the longest sentence possible using the words on the candies.

• Play your favorite music and dance! If you have a Karaoke machine or know someone who does, this would be a great time to use it.

• Enjoy giving each other manicures, pedicures, and facials – make sure to use pink and red polish.

• Have a pair of red high heels on hand, and have the kids set up an obstacle course

• that they must walk around and through with the high heels on.  Make sure this is supervised so no one gets hurt.

• Play Musical Sleeping Bags, as you play Musical Chairs. The kid left outside of a sleeping bag is "out."

• Watch fun movies related to Valentine's Day. Let the kids choose, as long as you agree as the host parent! Serve popcorn with a variety of toppings. Cinnamon and sugar would be yummy for this holiday.

• Make mini heart-shaped pizzas for dinner. Have the kids cut readymade pizza dough into the shape of a heart, place their favorite toppings on it, and bake.

• Enjoy a full evening of chocolate, with chocolate fondue, chocolate dipped pretzels, hot chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, and small boxes of chocolates.

• In the morning, enjoy a batch of heart-shaped pancakes served with strawberry syrup and a cup of fruit on the side.

• Send the guests home with pink and red lip-gloss, nail polish, hand soap, facial scrub, chocolates, and bubble bath placed into a small, red, personalized pail.
