Slumber Party

Planning a scary slumber party or sleepover? Well you’ll need some ideas for scary games and pranks to play.

Here are some great ideas for your scary sleepover:

Body Parts Everybody sits in a circle in a dimly lit room while you make up a story about a scary old witch who’s body has been cut into pieces. As you talk about each body part, pass around plastic bags or bowls containing her body parts and have everyone feel inside without looking. You can use peeled grapes for the eyeballs, a canned apricot for the tongue, popcorn kernels for teeth, cooked spaghetti for the brains, a large peeled tomato for the heart, macaroni or noodles for intestines, a slab of jello for the liver, and so on. This is used to great effect in the halloween story “October Game” by Ray Bradbury.

Bloody Mary Turn off all the lights, set out candles and play this creepy game about a dead woman who will appear if you say her name three times in a mirror.

Light as a Feather Stiff as a Board Have one person lie on the floor while everyone else kneels around them with both hands slightly under the person. The “Storyteller” who by the person’s head and tells a made up story about the person and how they died horribly. At the end of the story, everyone chants “Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board” repeatedly as they lift the person off of the ground. The idea is to have the person believing that “ghosts” are helping to lift them.

Scary Movies There’s nothing better than turning off the lights and sitting down with a bunch of friends to watch a really scary movie. You can play pranks on friends by creeping up behind them and grabbing them during a scary part of the movie.

Murder Game One person is the detective. Hand out slips of paper with one of them reading “Murderer”. The detective leaves the room and the lights are turned off. The murderer kills someone by pinching them or touching them. Then the lights are turned back on and the detective comes back in to try and “solve” the murder.
