list short, two or three are enough.
Everyone knows that a sleepover rarely involves much sleeping, so be prepared with lots of games, snacks and activities.
Activities
Although most preteens will keep themselves entertained, it’s a good idea to plan a few activities. Some parents like to do one major activity outside the home such as going to the movies, bowling or swimming. Not only does this add structure to the event, it should also make guests tired enough that they actually sleep!
Food
Junk food at sleepovers is a time-honored tradition, but don’t offer too much. It’s fine to have some chips, and a cake is a must, but add some fruits or vegetables so you don’t end up with a party full of stomachaches. Offer bottled water or juice instead of soda with caffeine, or they’ll never get to sleep. Sleepover guests are old enough to make their own food so consider planning a kitchen activity. Make-your-own-bars(pizza, foods, sundaes) work well for this age group.
Bedtime
When should you turn the lights out? It depends on the ages of the guests. Younger children should probably be in their sleeping bags by 10 p. m., older ones by midnight. Avoid quarrels about who sleeps next to whom by suggesting the guests arrange their sleeping bags in a starburst pattern with heads in the middle. For guests ready to go to sleep before others, consider putting them in a guest room. If this is a first sleepover, be prepared for a guest who wants to go home. Be certain you have a way to reach all the parents in case this happens. Before you call the parents, however, try to reduce the guest’s fears. A child who’s afraid of the dark may be comforted by a dim (昏暗的) night light.
