There is nothing better than having fun in life! But sometimes we run out of ideas. Here are some great ways to have fun with friends.

Having great friends is so important. They are the ones who you know you can trust with anything, and you can share your hopes, fears, and dreams with. They are also the ones who will be your biggest fans and support you even if your ideas are completely crazy. You will laugh with your friends, cry with them, occasionally get mad at them, but always forgive them in the end.

Of course, one of the best things about having friends is having people to share fun times with. But sometimes, you end up doing the same activities time and time again. You meet up for a drink, or go for coffee, or to a movie.

Ways To Have Fun With Friends

Have a movie marathon

Choose your favorite movies or television show. Find a free weekend and get your friends together for a spot of binge watching. In between viewings you can discuss what you love about the entertainment and they’re your favorite.

Host a spa day

Invite your friends to come over to give each other manicures, facials, and try out new hairstyles and makeup looks. Mimic spa fare by serving your guests hot tea, fresh fruit, and water with cucumber slices and lemon. Play quiet, relaxing new age music in the background and light a few scented candles to create a relaxing atmosphere for your friends.

Have a party

There are lots of different ways to have a fun party, even if there are only a few of you. Get creative with your party and you’ll definitely have fun.

Play Truth or Dare

This is a fun and easy game to play anywhere you want. A “truth” is a question they must answer truthfully. A “dare” is an activity they must perform. You can also allow a certain amount on “chickens’ per person which allows them to not complete the truth or dare.

Visit a local museum or art gallery with your friends

You can check out the latest exhibits together and have lots to discuss after you leave. Museums and art galleries also often hold special events like lectures, film screenings, and musical performances that you could go to with your friends.

Make a Bucket List

Ask each person to write a list of 10 to 20 things they want to do before they die. Compare lists to see if you have anything in common with your friends.

Musical Chairs

Childhood fun doesn’t have to end just because you’re a little older. With only three or four people — and one less chair — it’ll be a night that you’ll never forget.

Make Your Own Ice Cream Creation

Start with plain vanilla or chocolate ice cream, and then add toppings according to what’s available in your kitchen. Maybe a crushed candy bar, peanuts, cookies, and any other sweet treat hiding in your cabinet.

Play Poker

This isn’t the smartest choice if you’re broke or trying to save money. But if you play with candy, chips, and cookies instead of cash, you can have an enjoyable time without going broke.

Pillow Fight

Grab a few throw pillows from the couch or pillows from the bedroom and have a playful smack down.

Play Tug-of-War

All you need is a jump rope and two or three people on each side. The losing team has to buy drinks the next time you go out.

Play Truth or Dare

This is the perfect opportunity to get answers to your most burning questions. And if your friend chooses dare, make it a good one.

Concerts in the park

All summer long, many parks host free concerts. Go with your friends. Hang out, bring a picnic dinner. This is a very relaxing way to chill out on a hot summer night after work.

Volunteer together

Offer to do the yard work for the local senior center or hang out with the kids at the YMCA. After a few hours of volunteering together, you will have new respect for each other and something new to chat about.
