Host a Great Sleepover Party for an 11 Year Old
Template:TitleCan't stop thinking about what to do on Friday? It's sleepover time! Hosting an awesome sleepover party is as easy as stocking up on movies, having makeover supplies on hand, and providing lots of delicious treats. Your friends will be talking about it for weeks to come!

Steps
- Tell your parents about your epic sleepover plan. If they explicitly don't agree, just act real good for a day or two, and then wait another day to ask them about the epic plan. They will probably agree.
- Order pizza by a highly acclaimed pizza delivery service. Your best buds will giggle and munch with delight! Or make cupcakes or another yummy treat.
- Stock up on movies. Depending on if your friends are allowed to watch PG-13 or not, jumble up on some romance movies or comedies. Horror movies would also be good if you aren't scared easily. If you can't find a movie that all of you want to watch, then find a movie that everyone doesn't like and comment on it, but only if your friends want to. You could also ask your friends to bring movies so that way everyone will have at least 1 movie that they want to watch. Just don't watch too many movies, since your friends might want to talk.
- Do fun make-overs! Borrow body lotion, gel, flat irons, eye shadow, foundation, mascara, lip-stain, every makeup on the planet! You can try doing one another's hair in beads or pick flowers outside to put in their hair. You may be allowed to spray their hair with temporary (and temporary only) hair dye of a fun color (confer with the parents first).
- Read the best fashion magazines out there. Try not to read magazines like "Glamour" or "Cosmopolitan" because the advice is for women and won't help you at all. Considering, 11 year old's don't need "50 Tips from Your Hot Boyfriend" in a magazine. While including boys, make up, fashion, body problems, and inspirational stories, try reading things like "Twist" (celebrity fans), "Quizfest"(getting to know your friends), "Girls Life" (for advice on everything and top fashion tips), "Seventeen" (for ideas on what to do on almost everything with fashion inspiration), or "Teen Vogue" (high fashion and celebrity fans).
- Do fun crafts, like making duct tape purses. Get the best prints ever, like leopard prints in pink or polka dots in raspberry red. You can try making collages from your favorite magazines and posting awesome articles on paper!
- Have a fashion show. Put each other in the cutest clothes (DIY some accessories is a must for crafts) and have them strut on the runway. Before the show, host a catwalk walking class and teach each other how to walk like real models.
- Play "Truth or Dare" or "Would You Rather...". It is a great way to know your friends and have a little girly, feisty fun on the way! In the meantime, keep things to the minimum (no saying, "I dare you to hop on your foot twice") and keep things to the maximum (no saying, "I dare you to take off your shirt") Keep things clean but fun!
- Never try to take over the party and keep things cool.
- When you're at a sleepover play fun things everyone will enjoy. Let people go home always feeling like its the best time ever not make them think your leaving them out
- Get all electronics charged and connect on DS or PSP or play on Wii, Xbox etc
- Listen to CDs. (You can dance or sing or model along) Good CDs are One Direction, Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift etc. If you don't want to do that, then try making a song with all of your friends and record that!
- Have a race to see who can find their gummy worm first! You try to win or send every one home! Instructions: get several paper plates and put one or two (same amount on each plate) gummy worms on each one. Then, spray some whipped cream on to each plate, (you can add other toppings if you like)enough to cover the gummy worms and give to each guest (including yourself). once you all have one, have a race to see who can find their gummy worm first by sticking your face in to the whipped cream and grabbing the gummy worm with your mouth. It's a party game and a tasty snack!
Tips
- Try to get everyone involved in the activities and make sure the guests enjoy them.
- Set up a movie theater and hand out candy, popcorn, and even tickets!
- If you invited a lot of people to your party, make sure there are alternative activities so nobody gets bored and decides that they don't like your sleepover.
- Be careful about the secrets you share.
- Set up a nail parlour and do each others nails. Ask everyone to bring there favorite nail paint/polish.
- Splash water in your face to keep you awake and not sleepy.
- Have a set time for everything so no one gets bored.
- Tell spooky stories unless there are people who get scared too easily.
- Call boys from your school that you like and prank call them, it will make your friends talk about the sleepover for weeks.
- If someone needs medication ask them to bring it and ask a trusted adult to supervise them as they have it. Also tell them which rooms they may and may not go in. Keep party games, such as truth or dare, appropriate.
Warnings

- Before you plan any of this or decide to do this, check with your parents on everything. Even have them look at this page!
- On the invitation, tell them what you're going to do at the sleep over. This is because if you don't, things may not go according to the plans you've made.
- Appropriateness is a big thing.
