Everyone has those weekends where they would rather stay in and drink (lemonade, iced tea, soda, etc.) and do something fun, instead of get dressed up and go out to bars and clubs and parties. There's still fun activities to do inside, with a good group, whether all male, female, or the greatest competition: a mix of both.

The most fun is obviously when it's most competitive. So make teams, and get a grand score board set up for all to see and rub in. (Mix girls and guys, or if you're confident, do girls versus boys.) 'Cause no one wants to sit at home and play this.

1. Headbands/Heads up! If anyone has 0.99 cents to spare on iTunes, seriously get this game Ellen created. It's charades, but you can do acting, music, movies, animal noises, accents, and impressions. It's great.

2. Cup Pong: Line up four cups, three cups in front, two cups, one cup. (Most know this game) and fill each with lemonade. Each team stands at each end of the table, (each with a pyramid of cups in front) and shoots a ping pong ball into as many cups as they can until they're all gone.

3. Flip Cup: Each group gets a cup in front, filled with lemonade. The first two people parallel to each other drink the lemonade, put the bottom of the cup onto the edge of the table, and flip it onto the larger side of the cup, and the person next to them goes. Whichever side of the table finishes and flips all cups first, wins.

4. Card Games: Card games are always fun. You can do Egyptian Rat-Screw, Slap Jack, BS, Rummy 500, Poker, Aruba, or any other variation once you've googled the instructions. Especially cause everyone has that one friend that takes it too seriously, (me) and ends up leaving mid-game like:

5. Board Games: Classic board games you forgot existed can be super fun with an older group of friends. Put something good on TV that everyone's seen but loves, and play chutes and ladders, candy land, monopoly, etc.

6. Cards against humanity: Yes this one gets its own category outside of normal cards. It's hilarious and it's weirdly possibly sexual, and usually ends up in some great never-thought-that-story-would-be-brought-up-again-telling, which is fantastic.

7: True American. Yes, if you have seen the show "New Girl"on Netflix then you know this game and have seen it/ heard of it. But the rules are not possibly learned through the show, just the concept. So google rules to the game, or simply visit the website.

And learn. If your friends watch the show, it will be amazing. If they don't, this will certainly get them to start, and for probably one of the first times, your whole friend group (possibly girls AND guys) will ALL have the same show to talk about when hanging out. If this is too frustrating, try something else more physical like twister or even hide and go seek like children.

Just remember, it's a game. A week from now you won't want awkward silence with all your roommates and neighbors because you flipped the table and lost half the pieces to "GUESS WHO?". You also don't want your friends approaching you for the next three hours because you lost go fish on the couch like:
