Sleepover ideas (DS11)

We haven't had many for one reason or another, I'm probably over thinking it but how can I make it more fun, rather than just sticking a film on or them playing fortnite all night?

Do I need to do anything or just leave them to it?

Are you talking one guest or several?

If just one, I'd be inclined to let them do what they want, and just supply pizza.

More than 1 may need more input as there is the risk of disagreements, arguing over who plays what if not enough equipment for all to join in, or just getting really silly.

Just the one, I'm not brave enough for more than one at a time yet!

Honestly I'd just order pizza or whatever they want, and leave them to it if it's just two of them.
Only other idea if you're desperate to get them out of the house for a bit and break up the evening would be to go out to Pizza Express, Nandos or similar for tea (or to an activity - bowling?)

Provide pizza/other take out and snacks.

Leave them to it.

Don't be too strict on bedtimes, let them stay up chatting if they want.

Thank you! Ok it seems leaving them to it is the best plan, sounds easy enough.
