Prom season can be an exciting time for high school girls. This big event means they can get dressed up and enjoy some pampering before hitting the town with their date or group of friends. The prom can also bring a bit of apprehension, as they might be going on their first date. Prepare girls for their prom night by organizing some fun, relaxing dress up games which will give them fashion and beauty ideas for their prom look and alleviate any tension surrounding the event.
Prom Fashion Show
Gather a group of high school girls to show off their prom looks. A prom fashion show generates excitement for the big event and allows each girl to ensure she has a unique look for prom night. Set up a runway in your backyard or basement, and let each girl show off her outfit by walking down the runway in her prom look. Invite families over to check out the fashion show. This game works well for younger girls as well. Collect older sisters’ used prom dresses, and let the younger girls dress up in them and strut their stuff. The fashion show can prep high schoolers for their prom night or let younger girls emulate their sisters and play a fun game of dress-up at home.
Beauty Tutorial
Teach girls the basics of hair and makeup with prom in mind. Set up a vanity or two, where the girls have seats in front of a mirror. Offer basic make-up items like powder, blush, eye-shadow, mascara, eyeliner and lipstick. Let the girls try out different prom makeup looks. Offer a hair station, where girls can use curling irons or rollers as well as hair accessories like pins, barrettes and headbands to create the perfect prom hair. Take digital photos of each girl’s prom look, and print them out on a photo printer. Let each girl take home her photo so she can mimic it on prom night. Let the younger girls get involved as well.
Accessorize Me
Focus on prom accessories for this game. Let girls invade mom’s jewelry drawer or share their own pieces to find accessories that complement their prom dress. Chandelier earrings, beaded necklaces or cuff bracelets work well with prom dresses. Toss the accessories into a pile, and encourage the girls to share them and find pieces that work best with their outfits. Consider pairing up the girls and allowing them to select accessories for their partner. Then, give each girl a moment to show off her accessories to the group.
