Step 1: Decide how many girls you'd like to invite
If you have a clique, invite the friends you hang out with, at school or at a club.
This is the best way of ensuring a comfortable, fun night for everyone, as the tent is a small place and you must all be okay with close quarters.
However, a tent sleepover can be an interesting, eventful night, so if you have 1 or 2 new friends, it's a good way of getting to know each other and talking! -
Step 2: and who.
You could do it in a campsite, but if everyone is round your house, more anxious people may feel safer knowing there are adults and a toilet near by.
A bigger tent is better, as there is not only room to sleep, but room to move about and play games. , Your guests don't want to be sleeping on a cold grassy floor.
Make the tent look cosy and inviting, with mattresses, rolling mats, blanket, cushions and throws.
If it's a birthday camping sleepover, you could put balloons in or around the tent.
Make sure you have torches or a portable lamp so you have cosy lighting and you aren't stuck in the pitch black all night. , Ask your guests to bring a bag of sweets/chocolate/candy with them, and you can provide the rest.
Bring popcorn, fizzy drinks (with plastic cups), pizza, sweets and chocolate.
It may be a good idea to bring a small rubbish bin and put it in the tent for all the leftover treats. , Films are a great way of starting a night off, and usually don't last until the end.
Try and choose a film that will get you all talking, like a scandalous rom-com or tear jerking drama.
You could even watch some scary movies, if you're all brave enough! , This game is a must for girly sleepovers.
After the film, take one of your empty pop bottles and find a flat surface.
All the girls sit in a circle around the bottle and one person spins it.
Whoever the bottle top lands on is asked by the girls a question of Truth or Dare or Would You Rather.
This is a great way to break the ice, have a laugh, and find out more about each other. , Bring in nail varnish, hair ties, bobby pins and make up and give each other makeovers! This is a fun, girly thing to do, and gives everyone something to do.
You could even to a "Hairstyle Line"
where you all sit behind each other and give the person in front of you a beautiful or crazy hairstyle. , Don't stay cooped up in the tent all night! You could play Flashlight Tag (use the light beam as a tag tap), Hide and Seek, or Wink Murder.
If your parents let you, you could even have a campfire and toast marshmallows! , You could make up your own or get some from the internet.
Sit in a circle and take it in turns to read one with your best spooky voice.
If everyone is feeling a little creeped out by the end, you could read some funny ones.
Switch it up and have a play with it. , Go crazy.
Beforehand you could make a sleepover playlist.
