Let’s be real—sleepovers aren’t just about sleeping. They’re about staying up way too late, laughing till someone snorts, and doing all the weird, fun, and slightly chaotic things you can think of. Whether you’re planning a classic girls’ night, a teen hangout, or just a chill BFF weekend, I’ve got you covered with 20 crazy fun things to do with friends at sleepovers that’ll make your night epic.
I’ve done most of these (some more than once 😅), and trust me, they’re total hits. So grab your snacks, throw on your comfiest PJs, and let’s make this sleepover unforgettable.
1. DIY Spa Night
Who needs a fancy spa when you’ve got face masks, nail polish, and a group of besties? Create your own little beauty corner — cucumber slices optional (but Instagram-worthy, obviously).
Try this: everyone brings one beauty item, and you all share and test them out. Do facials, paint nails, and maybe even try some DIY hair masks (just… don’t go overboard with the avocado).
✨ Pinterest tip: Add candles, fairy lights, and cute towels for major aesthetic vibes.
2. Late-Night Truth or Dare
Classic? Yes. Boring? Never. Truth or dare hits different when it’s 1 AM and everyone’s half-asleep and giggly.
Keep it light but hilarious. Avoid anything too risky (because you don’t want someone’s secret crush going public, right?).
✨ Pro tip: Write your dares on folded slips and toss them in a jar—it feels more official and way more fun!
3. DIY Pizza Bar
Nothing says “perfect night” like pizza you made yourself. Grab some pre-made dough, sauces, cheese, and toppings. Then let everyone customize their own little pizza.
You’ll end up with some questionable combos (pineapple and jalapeños, anyone?), but that’s part of the fun!
✨ Pinterest moment: Set up a cute toppings station with bowls labeled in fun fonts. Instant foodie content!
4. Movie Marathon
Grab your blankets, pick a theme, and binge-watch until you fall asleep mid-scene. Whether it’s rom-coms, horror, or all the Harry Potter movies (because why not?), it’s a guaranteed win.
✨ Vibe tip: Create a cozy “movie fort” with pillows, fairy lights, and popcorn buckets.
5. Fashion Show
This one’s pure chaos — and it’s hilarious. Raid each other’s closets or thrift some funky outfits beforehand. Then strut your stuff like you’re on a budget version of Paris Fashion Week.
You can even film it and edit it like a fake commercial later. Instant content, bestie.
✨ Aesthetic idea: Use your hallway as a runway and blast your favorite hype songs.
6. DIY Photo Booth
Get crafty! All you need is a blank wall, some fairy lights, props, and your phone’s camera timer. Create your own photo booth corner for fun memories that’ll blow up your Instagram or Snapchat.
✨ DIY tip: Use cardboard and markers to make props — crowns, mustaches, speech bubbles with funny quotes.
7. Bake-Off Challenge
Turn your kitchen into a mini “Great British Bake Off.” Split into teams, set a timer, and see who can bake the best cookies, cupcakes, or brownies.
Fair warning: things will get messy. And that’s okay. The winner gets bragging rights for the next year.
✨ Pinterest inspo: Decorate your baked goods with pastel sprinkles and heart-shaped icing. So cute.
8. Blanket Fort Kingdom
This is not just a fort. It’s a kingdom. Build the ultimate cozy setup with chairs, blankets, and fairy lights. Then chill inside with snacks, music, and your favorite gossip.
✨ Pro tip: Add a projector or tablet to stream a movie inside. Pure magic.
9. Karaoke Battle
You haven’t lived until you’ve screamed your lungs out to a Taylor Swift song at 2 AM with your best friends. Pick your favorite tracks and have a mini karaoke battle.
It’s not about the singing—it’s about the drama.
✨ Fun idea: Create silly “award categories” like “Most Dramatic Performance” or “Future Pop Star.”
10. Sleepover Games Galore
Forget Monopoly (unless you love long fights 😂). Go for quick, hilarious games like:
- What Do You Meme?
- Heads Up!
- UNO (still ruins friendships, but fun)
- Never Have I Ever (keep it friendly!)
✨ Pinterest moment: Create a mini “game station” with a sign that says “Sleepover Games Corner.”
11. TikTok Dance-Off
You know someone’s gonna suggest making a TikTok. So why not make it official? Choose a trending sound, practice the moves, and see who nails it best.
Spoiler: you’ll spend more time laughing than actually dancing.
✨ Pro tip: Set up good lighting — your TikTok will thank you later.
12. DIY Friendship Bracelets
A little nostalgic, a lot of fun. Grab some colorful threads, beads, and charms, and create friendship bracelets for each other.
It’s relaxing, creative, and gives you something to remember the night by.
✨ Pinterest inspo: Use metallic threads or letter beads for that boho-chic look.
13. Mystery Snack Challenge
Everyone brings one weird snack — something you’ve never tried before. Blindfold your friends and make them guess what it is.
Warning: someone will bring something gross, and that’s okay. It’s part of the adventure.
✨ Aesthetic twist: Arrange all the snacks on a cute tray and make it look like a tasting bar.
14. Vision Board Party
Manifestation night, anyone? Get magazines, scissors, glue, and poster boards. Everyone makes their own “dream life” vision board while chatting and snacking.
You’ll be surprised how therapeutic it feels.
✨ Pinterest touch: Add fairy lights around your boards for an instant glow-up.
15. Pillow Fight (Obviously)
A sleepover without a pillow fight? Couldn’t be me.
Keep it light and fun, no injuries please 😅. Play some energetic music, set a timer, and let chaos reign.
✨ Pro tip: Record it in slow motion — you’ll thank yourself later.
16. Themed Sleepover Night
Pick a theme and go all in. Examples:
- ’90s throwback (scrunchies, music, and movies)
- Barbiecore (all pink everything)
- Glow-in-the-dark (neon lights + glow sticks)
It’s like throwing a mini party without leaving the house.
✨ Aesthetic bonus: Decorate your space to match the theme — it makes the night feel extra special.
17. Confession Circle
Grab a bowl and slips of paper. Everyone writes down a confession or secret (can be funny or deep). Then take turns pulling them out and guessing who wrote what.
It’s a mix of hilarious and emotional moments. Just keep the mood supportive, not judgmental.
✨ Pinterest idea: Light a candle in the center for “truth circle” vibes.
18. DIY Movie Snacks Bar
Popcorn, M&Ms, chocolate drizzle, caramel, pretzels — mix and match to create your own snack combos.
Let everyone invent a name for their snack (mine was “Choco-Melt Mayhem” 😅).
✨ Pro tip: Use mason jars or cute cups with labels for that Pinterest-worthy setup.
19. Memory Scrapbook
Collect photos, receipts, or doodles from the night and make a scrapbook together. Add captions, stickers, and little notes about what made the night special.
It’s such a sweet way to end your sleepover. You’ll laugh every time you flip through it later.
✨ Pinterest inspo: Use pastel markers, washi tape, and polaroid-style prints for a dreamy look.
20. Sunrise Breakfast Party
If you’re still awake (and you probably will be 😅), why not finish the night with breakfast? Make pancakes, fruit bowls, or smoothies while watching the sunrise.
It’s the perfect peaceful ending to a night of chaos and laughter.
✨ Aesthetic tip: Serve breakfast on matching plates or cute trays for Instagram-worthy pics.
Extra Sleepover Tips (Because You Know You’ll Need Them)
- Keep snacks stocked. Because hunger at 2 AM is no joke.
- Set some rules. Especially if you’re at someone’s house with parents sleeping nearby.
- Charge your phones early. You don’t want to lose the night’s best photos!
- Plan a chill activity. In between the chaos, it’s nice to have something calm like journaling or painting.
