Alright, my little cousins, who are 5 and 7, are coming over in two days and we're going to have a sleepover where we set up a tent and sleep in the backyardIt's illegal to have fire pits in my neighborhood, so instead we are using a chiminea ( a mini outdoor, portable fireplace ) to sit around and cook marshmallows and stuffMost of the campfire stories I know are scary, and most the activities I know involve more than two or three peopleWhat sort of things should I do with my little cousins to keep them entertained and make it a sleepover they won't forget? I am not really looking for sites that can give me ideas since I have already looked through most of themNow I want opinions from people on what to doIt can be food, songs, games, whatever, everything is appreciatedThank you!
Have a backyard obstacle coursePlay music on a portable radio and danceGrilled Nachos - For each guest, place a handful of tortilla chips in the center of a sheet of aluminum foilHave kids add their choice of pinto or black beans, diced tomatoes, avocado, black-olive slices, salsa, and grated cheddarFold in the corners of the foil to create a pouch; place on the edges of the grill for 10 minutes, or until cheese has meltedFlashlight Finders- Hide a prize, like a plastic bag filled with the makings of s'mores, in your yard, and challenge the kids to find itNo luck? Help them along by saying It's getting lighter when they near the loot, and It's getting darker when they move awayteach them the song: The more we get together, together, together, the more we get together, the happier we'll be'Cause your friends are my friends, and my friends are your friends, the more we get together the happier we'll be! Have the kids make up stories about ghosts and then make some up toosilly not scary stories.
