Remember to compromise and pick a game that you’ll both like, and try not to be overly competitive once you start playing. If your friend doesn’t have any board games, see if they have a deck of cards so you can play card games.
If you’ve never played video games before, your friend’s house can be a perfect introduction! Have your friend teach you how to play the game and start at the easiest level.
You don’t have to be good at sports to casually play. Be as competitive or casual as you feel like.
Try to pick a movie that is fun and upbeat rather than slow or serious.
If you aren’t sure whether the neighborhood is safe, err on the side of caution and find something else to do.
If you are at a loss for what kind of art project to do, search the internet for ideas, or even just do something simple like coloring in a coloring book.
If you and your friend like makeup, you can also make each other over and take pictures of your new glamorous looks!
Don’t put anything in the box that you’ll miss. Stick to notes and doodles. Get your friend’s parents’ permission before burying the time capsule.
Don’t force their pet to play with you. If their pet is sleeping, leave them be. They may wake up later and be in the mood to play!
