Fairy Tale Charades
Let birthday sleepover guests work off energy with a game of charades. Create cards with the name of fairy tales, or famous scenes from fairy tales, to prepare for the game. For example, write down "Snow White" or "When Rapunzel lets down her hair." Guests break into two or more teams. The first player picks a card and must act out the fairy tale until her team guesses the name or the two minute time limit runs out. The team with the most correct guesses wins the game.
Princess Trivia Game
Get young girls into a royally good mood with a trivia game about famous princesses. Create your own trivia cards from pink paper. Write down general princess questions, such as "What did Snow White eat that made her fall asleep?" Make each player wear a plastic princess crown when it's her turn to answer a question. The game winner gets to wear the crown all night and take it home.
Jewelry Treasure Hunt
Keep girls on their toes at a birthday sleepover with a treasure hunt for plastic jewelry. Create two lists containing different location clues so that the guests can break into two teams for the hunt. Clues can include "In a dark place where shoes go to rest," to indicate a bedroom closet and so on. Hide enough plastic jewelry at each location for each team member to receive one. By the end of the hunt, each girl should have a full set of plastic jewelry to wear.
Nail Polish Spin
Combine a game of "spin the bottle" with fun nail polish colors to entertain older girls at a birthday sleepover. Guests sit in a circle and place a bottle of nail polish on its side. The first player spins the polish and the girl the lid points to is "it." The "it" girl must paint one of her nails with the polish, pick a new color and spin the bottle. The game keeps going until every girl has a rainbow of different colors on each fingernail and toenail.
Telephone Gossip
This quick game works as an ice-breaker for a girl's sleepover party. The girls sit in a circle, close enough to whisper in each other's ears. The first player comes up with a silly sentence, or reads one from a card. The first player whispers in the second player's ear, and so on, until the last player recites what she heard. For example, the first gossip sentence could be, "My cat likes to chase her plastic mouse and pounce on it."
