If a lot of guys are coming over, set up multiple TV’s or computers in the same room and see who can get to the highest level or set the top score.
Watch movies or TV shows that you used to love when you were a little kid. This is a great way to reminisce about your childhood and have a laugh at all of the things you used to think were scary or funny. Make some popcorn, order some pizza, and have sodas while you and your friends relax. If there’s a famous catchphrase in one of the movies or shows, you can all find something to do every time you hear it, like doing a push up.
If you want to make the games more competitive, make a prize for the winner. Snacks, like lollies or chips, are great prizes that will amp up the competition between the lads.
Put on your favourite boys night soundtrack in the background to help set the mood. If you don’t know what to play, search online for a boys night playlist.
If you get bored, mute the sound and pretend to be the commentator. Have fun making completely irrelevant or ridiculous comments about the game with your friends. This can be a goofy way to mix up the usual sports-watching experience, and you’ll all be cracking up in no time.
Don’t impersonate people in the room in case they get offended.
Pick someone who won’t be offended by your joke. Never say anything unkind and avoid pretending to be an officer of the law. Place your phone on speakerphone so that all your friends can hear the call.
If you’re booking online, try to do it at the same time so that you can all sit together.
If you and your friends have a favourite place to eat, make it a weekly tradition. For example, you could have a Mexican Monday and go to a taco restaurant, or on Thai Tuesday you could grab a Pad Thai together.
Mix it up and try out the pools in a different suburb or the neighbouring town.
You’ll need to find a friend that goes to the same gym as you, otherwise, they won’t be allowed in. Alternatively, ask your gym if your friend can have a free trial. You can always go for a walk if you don’t have a gym membership.
If you don’t live near the beach, take a trip to a local river or lake instead.
Choose someone to be a referee. This will help to stop arguments about the rules. A good way to help keep people safe is to tell everyone that headshots don’t count as kills. If you don’t like dodgeball, play soccer or basketball instead.
Lava tag is just like regular tag except that the ground is lava and the only safe places to run are the playground equipment.
The winner is the last person to be tagged. Decide what the boundaries are before you start playing the game. Play in your backyard or at a local park.
