Flashy fun

Play glow bowling! Add a bunch of glow sticks inside of some upcycled water bottles; remove any label and twist the caps back on. Set them up in bowling pin formation and give your friends balls to try to knock them over.

Have fun with Tic-tac-glow! Set up boards on black posterboard with neon duck tape. Use glow bracelets to make the Xs and Os — link the Xs together by wrapping pipe cleaners around two crisscrossing bracelets. Set a few boards on the ground with the game pieces next to them so your friends can play when they want.

Ask a parent if you can buy some colorful glow-in-the-dark face paint from amazon.com. You can use it to create fun designs on your friends’ faces.

DIY light-up Twister! Use an old white sheet and have an adult help you paint red, yellow, blue and green circles on it with glow-in-thedark paint, which you can find at a craft store. When your guests want to play, use the spinner from your regular Twister game.
