Ideas for sleepover party for 12/13 year olds

My dd is having a sleepover party for her 13th birthday in three weeks.
Anyone got ideas of how to keep them occupied? So far I just have a film. They're not pampering type girls, don't wear make up so not along that theme. Any ideas?

Hide the alcohol. Leave money for Pizza. Lock yourself in your room. Leave them to it :)

They will have the ideas. Give them money for snacks, let them choose themselves or let your dd choose. Better still let the order pizza.

My DD is having a sleepover tonight although she is 8.

I have:
Pizza
Enough sweets and popcorn to sink a battle ship.
They can choose a movie later.

Erm, that's it! 🙈😱

I'm doing my best to chill out now before chaos later. I'm hoping that they'll sleep at some point! 🤫🤞

My DS was 12 and he had mocktails, they went out bowling, saw a film, had cake, went on our water rower, kicked a football round but mainly its just having other other. At other ones they do x box etc. Some people do pizza making then eat though at this age I think kids want invisible parents apart from money and serving food.

According to DD at parties they spend a lot of time on phones. Hmm

Might they like to "revisit their youth" (relative!) by doing some arts and crafts, like making friendship bracelets or slime, in a kind of fun/ironic way? Or decorating clothes like puffy paint and bedazzling and such? Equally playing some some old school board games? Doesn't have to be compulsory but if you have some materials and games available if they fancy it that's an option. Otherwise: snacks, soft drinks, leave them to it.

Oh and they're going trampolining in the morning. It would have been a good idea to do that today to tire them out for tonight but never mind.

It doesn't cost much to buy some cheap plain white t shirts, some fabric pens and fabric glue, ribbons and scraps of fabric. They can then take the decorated t shirts home instead of a party bag.
My niece has a karaoke machine for parties with her friends and at Christmas she enjoyed playing games such as The Sock Game www.argos.co.uk/product/8790329 and Googly Eyes www.argos.co.uk/product/5587724, both of which can be played with several people.
