Feeling stressed by school already? Take a break with some friends and have a fun and relaxing game night!
Hosting a game night can be so much fun—and easy as 1-2-3!
1. Ask your parents if they don’t mind having a few of your friends over—don’t worry mom and dad, it isn’t going to be an expensive party! You can play the games you already own (board games, video games, whatever you have!) and ask you friends to bring their favorite games too! For snacks, keep it simple, like popcorn or fruit. You can even ask your friends to bring one snack each, like a potluck!
2. Once you have the OK from your parents, invite your friends, both old and new! This may be the perfect opportunity to get to know the new girl in your class, and she would love to make some friends too! If you are the new girl, having a small game night might let the other girls in your class know that you are friendly and want to make new friends.
3. Break out the games and snacks and prepare for a night full of giggles and fun! Be sure to include everyone at the party and not leave anyone out—this night is all about fun and getting to know your friends better!
Have a great game night Discovery Girls!
The first weeks of a new school year is an exciting time because it's a fresh start. It's also an opportunity to make a good first impression. Of course, you hear a lot about making a good impression with your looks—your clothes, hair, etc. But did you know there are many other factors that contribute to first impressions?
Here are a few tips for putting your best foot forward the first week of school.
Smile! Something as simple as a smile can let new students know you'd like to be friends. It can also let friends you haven't seen in a while know you're still the nice, friendly girl they remember from last year.
Hold Your Head High and Shoulders Back. If you look confident even when you don't feel confident, others will pick up on it and feel more comfortable around you. Eventually, you might even start to feel more confident, too!
Be Friendly to Everyone! You can never have too many friends. So even if you already have a good group of friends, challenge yourself to make more. Walk up to someone you don't know well, look her in the eye and say. "It's good to see you again! How was your summer?"
Do you have any back-to-school tips to share?
