Entertaining your friends doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming. With a little creativity, you can have a great time without even leaving your home. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Make a giant Jenga set out of cardboard boxes
Cardboard boxes can do more than just store stuff in the basement! If you’re looking for a fun outdoor activity, why not transform a bunch of cardboard boxes into your very own giant Jenga set? All you need are some strong arms and a little bit of ingenuity. You’ll laugh as you point towards the highest tower yet constructed, made entirely out of boxes. Suddenly, something that was meant to be an afternoon of relaxation turns into an intense game of strategy and determination; the kind that can only be found in the ancient game of Jenga! And if your makeshift tower is getting too big to play normally, have no worries – simply call it “giant” mode and keep on going!
Set up a photobooth with props and backdrops
Setting up a photobooth is sure to liven up any event! With so many choices, you can go all out – choose a rainbow of colors for your backdrops and a selection of colorful props to choose from. Don’t forget the must-haves like an array of silly hats or quirky glasses. And why not get some out-of-the-box accessories, like feather boas and headbands? A few goofy masks might be just the thing to add a touch hilarity and fun. Before you know it, your guests will be creating truly unique pics with their wildest combinations!
Have a themed movie marathon night – everyone has to dress up as their favorite character
Who doesn’t love a good movie night? If you’re looking to take things up a notch, why not make it more exciting with a themed movie marathon night?! Everybody can dress up as their favorite character in the movies they choose, and make the night even more entertaining. Imagine how hilarious it would be to watch Superman battle Darth Vader in your living room! Not to mention that for each movie there would be the added suspense of who wins the best costume award. Gather your friends and family, settle in with some popcorn and candy, and get ready for an unforgettable experience that will have everyone laughing!
Turn your living room into a dancefloor – put on some music and let loose!
Looking to let loose and have some fun? Then turn your living room into your own personal dancefloor! Get the music pumping and it’ll feel like you’re part of a live concert. Knock over the coffee table if you want – nobody here to judge you. Plus, no need to worry about someone stepping on your feet because, whoops! That was just you doing a wild jump in your living room solo. So get ready to twirl and twerk without restrictions. Your living room is ready for you!
Play games that get everyone moving, like Twister or charades
If you’re looking for a way to get everyone moving while having some serious laughs, then look no further than the classic Twister or charades! While Twister will have you contorting into all kinds of shapes and colors trying to keep your balance and follow the right commands, charades can have you acting out your very best (or worst) impersonations. It’s hilarious seeing grown-ups trying to act out ‘hatching a chick’ when all of their limbs are tied up in a Twister pretzel. Guaranteed there’s never a dull moment when these two games hit the room!
Make homemade pizzas with all your favorite toppings
Making homemade pizzas is always a good time! Gathering all your favorite pizza toppings and making a masterpiece is enough to put anyone in a good mood. Whether you like yours classic with just pepperoni, or loaded with everything from pineapple to pickles (the possibilities are truly endless!), rolling out the perfect homemade crust and layering it with your favorite ingredients can really make your day feel special. Who knew something so yummy could be made in your own kitchen? Now if only getting somebody else to do the cleanup was as easy.
