Icebreaker Games (Perfect for Early in the Night)
When everyone first arrives at a sleepover, there can be some awkwardness.
These icebreaker games are perfect for kicking that off and getting everyone talking.
They’re easy, fun, and help everyone feel more comfortable.
1. Would You Rather
This classic game is a fast and simple way to get people talking. All you do is ask two options, and everyone has to pick one—no middle ground.
The questions can be silly or serious, depending on the mood.
For example, “Would you rather have the ability to fly or be invisible?” or “Would you rather eat pizza every day or never have dessert again?”
It’s a great way to learn more about your friends and get a laugh.
Plus, you’ll hear some really funny reasoning behind people’s choices!
2. Two Truths and a Lie
This game is perfect for breaking the ice and testing your friends’ detective skills.
Each person says three things about themselves: two truths and one lie.
The others have to guess which one is the lie.
It’s a fun way to learn hidden facts about each other.
You’ll be surprised by what you find out—and probably laugh at some of the clever lies people come up with!
3. Never Have I Ever (PG Version)
This game is a great way to dig up funny stories and secrets.
Each person takes turns saying “Never have I ever…” followed by something they’ve never done.
If someone in the group has done it, they share a funny story about it.
Keep it PG to avoid anything awkward.
For example, “Never have I ever skipped school” or “Never have I ever eaten an entire pizza by myself.”
It’s fun, and you’ll get to know each other in the best way possible!
4. Who’s Most Likely To?
In this game, one person asks a “Who’s most likely to…” question, and everyone votes on who fits the description best.
For example, “Who’s most likely to win an Olympic gold medal?” or “Who’s most likely to break their phone tomorrow?”
It’s hilarious and gets everyone thinking about each other in new ways.
Plus, it’s a great way to tease your friends in a lighthearted way.

Just be sure to keep it lighthearted and avoid anything that could make someone feel uncomfortable.
It’s all about having fun and laughing together.
