How to have a successful sleep over. I am sitting here as 10 girls throw their pillows around and wonder whose bright idea this was. Oh, it was mine. I am in for one heck of a night. Here is what our agenda has been and it worked out rather well. At 6pm we started accepting our daughters friends (she is a first grader) and just about everyone in her class with a few extras are here.
After initially accepting them here, we made sure to get all of the parents "tonight" contact information for emergencies and other things if necessary! We then started out with Little Caesar's pizza. After the pizza we let them run ra,pant and play for about 10 or 15 minutes.
Next thing up, arts and crafts. What a blast they had with this, what kind of contraptions can they come up with now? After this BLAST we decided to do a Cherades and this was a ton of fun. The girls and boys alikke really enjoyed this as they all guessed what it was at the TOPS of their voices.
Now it is time for the local pillow fight, change into jammies and shortly there will be a movie. Will they settle down? I am not sure. One thing I know is they are absolutely having a blast. This one is hopefully one for the ages!
I recommend this activity for any 7 year old. They are at the age where they will have an absolute blast and remember what fun it was for the REST of their lives. Keep them busy and wear them out; then move in for the rest of the night with a calm movie and quiet alas.
