The best part of the Valentine’s holiday is in fact not the actual Valentine’s day, but rather a day with your friends and food, Galentine’s! Over the years, my Galentine’s have consisted of baking, dinner, and what-not, which is all super great. However, if you’re looking to do something a little different and need ideas, I’ve created a list of activities to do with your friends on Galentine’s!
- Board Night
Everyone brings a snack board with different foods on them (fruit board, McDonalds board, cookie board, candy board, etc.) and while you eat, the board games are broken out for an evening of fun and games.
- Karaoke and Just Dance Night
Who doesn’t love a good karaoke session? Even better, guests come in their workout apparel as everyone breaks a move participating in Just Dance.
- Slideshow Night
Commonly seen on TikTok, everyone creates a slideshow which involves everyone else in the group. For example, someone could make a slideshow portraying how each person might react to a zombie apocalypse, or someone could choose a TV show and assign everyone to a character that suits them best. Slideshow nights are always super fun, and lead to a good evening of laughs.
- Chopped Night
With judges, a host, and competitors, baskets with pre-selected items will be given for the chefs to create a meal out of. This is such a fun activity to break out the silverware with a little competitive edge.
- Scrapbook/Vision Board
What better way to spend time with your friends that reflect on your personal goals/aspirations? With the start of a new year, vision boards are a perfect activity for the friend group. Everyone can bring magazines to cut up, felt, stickers, and whatever else. You could also create friendship scrapbooks, and reflect on your time together with cute messages and photos.
