  A slumber party for teenage girls is something that the teens can plan for themselves with a little adult supervision. Your role is to give guidance about what resources are available, make suggestions for possible themes they might use for their special event and create necessary boundaries for the party.
  
  

Art

• An art night where you provide drawing and painting supplies is a creative event for teens. Give the girls paint, a roll of kraft paper, pencils of many colors, markers and other art provisions. Make sure the activity is in a room where there is no carpeting and that a tarp is placed on the floor to make clean-up easy. Air-dry clay, beading for jewelry making and papier mache are other materials that you can consider for the art night.
  
  

Game Night

• A game night can create hours of entertainment for teenage girls. You can have traditional board games like "Scrabble," checkers or "Clue." If you own an electronic gaming device, there are numerous titles that you may choose. Active games like "Twister" also enliven a party.
  
  

Kitchen Time

• Cooking or baking, if you have the room in your kitchen, are activities that you can do with teenagers. An evening meal of fondue cooking is an easy way to feed hungry girls. However, be aware of any food allergies or special dietary needs that the guests may have and provide alternative meals for those teens.
  
  

Movie Night

• A movie night with popcorn, chips, soda pop and other snack foods can entertain teenage girls. The choice of movie genre is for the teenagers to decide but the adult should be aware of the movie content and rating. Also be sensitive to restrictions that other parents have about what is appropriate for a movie. A general recommendation is to keep teenage movie choices to a "PG" rating and in the lighter genres of comedy and adventure.
  
  

Sewing

• You can have a sewing night for those teenagers that enjoy fabric crafts. Gather scraps of material and have a quilting bee or help the girls sew a purse. Provide yarn if the teens enjoy knitting or crocheting. An alteration night where the teenagers bring clothes that need to be lengthened, shortened or revived into a new garment is a useful event. Compile a gift bag of needles, scissors and a thimble for each girl to take home.
  
  

Spa Date

• The teenagers can have a spa date with home facials, manicures or pedicures. Give the girls relaxing herbal tea and cookies or other small tea food. Play soothing music in the background or nature sounds. Make sure that the manicure or pedicure instruments are sterilized after each use. You can prepare gift bags or kits for the girls that include nail files and other grooming aids.
