Whether your squad has been together for as long as you can remember, or you’re just starting to get close, here are some fun ways to spend time together.
WARNING: These activities are not for shy or cautious friends!
1. Buy a (larger than life) jawbreaker from the local supermarket, (just don’t choke on it when your jaw locks up)
2. Take pictures with the movie theater displays (even the kids ones - make sure to squeeze everyone into the same photo)
3. Create personal challenges for each other (they usually start with “I bet you can’t…”)
4. Buy a large bowl of queso at the nearest Mexican restaurant (try to use as few chips as possible to eat it)
5. Go on rides together at your local fair (there’s a height minimum, but no maximum…)
6. Wander around Walmart (play with random toys & pretend to be homeowners)
7. Play on the local playground (find as many silly things to do as possible)
8. Make your own movie (all you need is a mastermind videographer armed with an iPod and editing software)
9. Go ice skating (make sure to hold hands and drag each other around the rink)
10. Purchase a pop-up tent shaped like a seal (and fit as many as you can inside)
11. Make a bonfire to burn your old binders and notebooks (include marshmallows, chocolate & graham crackers for s’mores!)
11. Take a day-trip to Six Flags (and pose with as many characters as you can)
12. Do a Secret Santa (where all the presents are jokes that fit your friends)
13. Put on disguises and stalk a friend’s date (bonus points if they don’t notice)
14. Hop between graduation parties together (because grad parties are boring without your friends - go together!)
15. Play dress-up with your old clothes (or use them when you make a movie!)
16. Walk livestock together (a friend should probably own some for this to work)
17. Take a walk down to the creek & sit on the bridge (helps being in the country, there isn't much traffic)
18. Go to the zoo (take pictures with the animals and find ways to go places you aren't supposed to)
19. Host a “Friendsgiving” or “Friendsmas” celebration (potluck style - everyone brings food to share)
20. Introduce yourself to a random person (who knows, they might be the love of your life)
21. Go to the circus together (take lots of pictures, especially if not everyone gets to go!)
22. Ride mechanical animals at the mall (bonus points if you race them)
23. See who can yell the loudest in a public location (winner gets to pick the next word to be shouted)
24. Have a movie marathon ("Harry Potter," "The Hunger Games"...pick your favorite series and stay up all night!)
So now you have all the ideas you could need to plan a great B.F.N.O.! Comment any fun things your friends have done!
Shout out to my best friends for helping me remember all the crazy things we’ve done!
