- 2 large necklaces
- 2 pairs of glasses/sunglasses
- 2 pairs of shoes
Directions:
There are two teams, and each team gets shirts, skirts, glasses, hats, jewelry, and shoes in a suitcase. The first person puts on everything and runs to the other side of the room and says, "Happy Birthday, [girl's name]!" and runs back and takes off everything. When she reaches her team she takes off the outfit as the girl next to her puts on the items she just removed. the next girl goes and does the same. The first team to finish is the winner.
Fear Squad
Supplies:
Directions:
Who has what it takes to make the Fear Squad? This goulish game is very similar to “Simon Says”. Instead of Simon be the leader, chose someone to be Cleo De Nile (the frightening and fabulous Fear Squad Captain). Then have Cleo start playing “Cleo Says” followed by a demonstration of a sweet dance move. The “fear leader finalists” will then have to copy what she says or they are out. The last fearleader standing becomes the captain! (Play as many times as you’d like.)
