Fun Stuff to Do With Your Friends

by Mika Lo
  • Overview

    We have all had times where we wished we could make the most of the time we spent with friends. Coming up with fun ideas can fill your time with friends and leave you with memories that will last for a lifetime. Supply yourself with endless activities that you and your friends can do together to relieve the boredom or to simply seize the day.
  • When At Home

    There are lots of things you can do with friends even when you are separated from each other. Having conversations on the phone about the day can be replaced with online games or using gaming consoles that allow you to play together. You can also play games like battleship, chess, or checkers over the phone even if you don't have Internet connections. When you are together with a friend at home you can put on a fashion show by going through some of your clothes. You can also use this as an opportunity to make fun of your parents' old clothes or a roommate who's still hanging on to their 'vintage' pair of M.C. Hammer pants. Making a fun home video together will help you to pass the time and is a good memento for years to come. Having a "Fear Factor" taste test to see who will eat each other's food creations will prove exciting even if you or your friend backs down. If you have a larger group of friends you can also gather them together and hold an Olympic-style competition. This can be done with video games or actual physical events set up around the house or in the yard. You and your friend can spend time completing a book together where each of you writes a separate part. Reading a passage of a favored book to each other can allow you to learn some of your friend's likes or dislikes in literature.
 
  • Outside of the House

    Going out for drinks at a local bar is fun, but you can spice it up by having each friend dress in something embarrassing such as their pajamas. You can also dare friends to do something out of the ordinary such as trying to get rejected as many times as possible during the evening. Planning a day when you all skip work or school together can be exciting if you don't get caught and if all your friends cooperate. Shop for your friend while you are out and allow your friend to do the same for you. Make a rule that you will only shop for each other and give a dollar amount limit. Seeing a movie can be a classic fun activity that you enjoy with friends. You may also want to dress up as a character in the movie to add flare to the outing. After the movie have dinner together and when you are all full, start a food fight that you offer to clean up afterwards.
