g) Dumb Charades

You will never be old enough to not play this game. Dumb Charades is the ultimate game to play at any party or gathering. Make this game more fun by adding a bidding system. Keep an instructor and divide the other players into two teams. One person from each team will come and the instructor will disclose the movie to them. Now, they will bid the estimated time in which their teams will be able to guess the movie name. If the team guesses correctly within the bidding time, the team wins. If the team is not able to guess it, the opposing participant gets a chance to act on the movie and make their team guess within their bidding time.

h) Murder in the Dark – Grown Up Pajama Party Ideas

Time to play a game that will keep the curiosity on the table till the end. This ‘murder in the dark’ game doesn’t need any equipment other than some pieces of paper. 

Take one piece and draw an ‘x’ on it, take one and draw ‘1’ on it, and draw an ‘o’ on the other pieces. Fold and mix them up, and distribute one piece per participant. The person who gets the ‘x’ is a detective, who will reveal himself in front of everyone, and the person who gets the ‘1’ is a killer. Other people are the potential victims. The killer can kill the victims by winking at them when no one is looking. The detecter needs to catch the killer winking before he goes ahead and kills all the victims.

4. Activities for a Pajama Party

Games are not the only things to cure your boredom and bring fun to your pajama party. There are many activities that you can conduct and get your friends involved. Let us look at some.

a) Do Some Crazy Science Experiments

Do your friends have the same level of craziness and curiosity as you? Then it is time to conduct some crazy science experiments. Head up to YouTube and search for some crazy ones. For instance, you can mix baking soda and vinegar to witness the viral elephant toothpaste.

b) Movie Marathon

If you and your friends are cinema fanatics then grab some good movies to watch with them. You can go for an already-watched one or experiment with a fresh one. If you’re brave enough, grab the scariest movie and set the party in a trail of rollercoaster. Here’s a blog on how to plan a kid’s birthday party at PVR.

c) Skincare Time

If you are with your girlies and want to give your skin a rejuvenated look while spending quality time with them then skincare is the best activity you can do. Apply face masks on each other’s faces, and do each other’s manicure or pedicure. You can also apply nail paints on each other’s fingernails.

5. Menu Ideas for a Pajama Party

It is a crime to not keep snacks and drinks at a party, and that too a pajama party. Foods and beverages keep the party alive as the guests don’t drain their energy. You can either keep handy foods like popcorn, candies, pop tarts, pizzas, etc., or go for a buffet. However, people mostly like to have a combination of these two.

a) MYOP

If you’re a grown-up and want to convert the food into an activity then this ‘make your own pizza’ is a great way. Make two teams, and distribute the work such as vegetable cutting, sauce preparation, and other tasks. Microwave the pizzas and enjoy them.

b) Bake Some Cookies

Along with your pizzas, are you having an urge for some cookies? Well, then make some with your pals. Prepare the dough for the cookies, sprinkle some chocolate chips over them, and place them in the oven for about 20 minutes. Enjoy the cookies with either some milk or your favorite drinks.

c) Hot Chocolate

Who doesn’t like a glass of hot chocolate? If you’re planning a winter pajama party, serve your guests hot chocolate topped with fresh cream. This drink will make a great ally to the cookies.

d) Nacho Chips with Dips

If you think the speed of light is the fastest, try keeping a bowl of nacho chips with a dip in front of your friends. Trust us, a bowl of nachos can make a great impression on your friends. Make sure the dip is also nice. You can also make your dip with some fresh veggies and mayonnaise.

e) Tacos

When talking about the handy snacks, you can’t afford to miss these delicious tacos. For the tacos, you will need some beans, guacamole, finely chopped onions, green veggies, and some coriander. Serve these fresh tacos and become the star among your friends.

f) Cupcakes

Balance is a must while planning a menu for a party. Hence, if you are keeping snacks like nachos, tacos, etc. you should also keep some desserts like these cupcakes. Time to give your pals a sweet tooth with these flavorful cupcakes.

g) Ice Cream

Post all these snacks, one needs a cold and refreshing treat, like an ice cream. We would suggest you ask your friends beforehand about their favorite flavors. 

In a Nutshell

To conclude, there are tons of ways to make your pajama party interesting and fun. Make sure you aren’t offending anyone’s feelings and are inclusive of all the guests’ cultures and beliefs. Other than that, have fun!
