Turn off the lights and have one person shine a flashlight straight out about three feet off the floor. The children take turns doing the limbo under the flashlight beam without ducking forward or touching the floor with their hands or knees. If any part of the body touches the beam of light, that child s out. Lower the beam after everyone s had a turn and sooner, rather than later, peals of laughter are sure to fill the house. Another great activity is face painting.
Supplies are available at most hobby shops or costume supply houses.
Have lots of tissues and cold cream or makeup remover on hand to wipe off the paints when they are through. Another great slumber party activity is taking instant photos. You might wish to make backdrops from cardboard or heavy paper for friends to pose behind. If you don t have an instant camera, use regular film and send the pictures to the child after the party. Another good party game is a magazine scavenger hunt.
