How to host a great slumber party

Maybe you have spring break coming up and you’re looking for something to do with your kids at home, or maybe you just need a fun day at school to shake your class out of their winter blues. Either way, a daytime slumber party is a lot of fun and really easy to pull off without a ton of prep work.  Use these suggestions as a guide for your slumber party.

Stay in Your Pajamas all day! This is the best way to start the day, getting to keep your comfy pjs on really sets the mood for a fun, carefree day.

Why not?! Set a few ground rules (only hit below the neck) and remove all of the breakables, then let them go at it. It’s a great gross motor and balance activity, and a fun way to relieve tension. As long as the fun is supervised you shouldn’t have any major problems, they are pillows after all.

I’m not generally an advocate for screen time, but every so often a movie is a fun way to relax. Cuddle up with blankets and pillows and spend some quality time watching the movie together.

Breakfast for lunch… sign me up! You can do this in the classroom too, just borrow and electric skillet or a griddle and use a box mix. Clean up is easy and this is sure to be a favorite memory.
