for parents Jan 27, 2026

Galentine’s Day isn’t just for grown-ups: t’s the perfect excuse for a cozy, confidence-boosting night in with your daughter and her closest friends. Add some snacks, matching PJs, and heartfelt connection, and you've got the makings of a sleepover they’ll remember forever.

Whether you're a mom planning a magical evening or a mentor leading a girls’ group, these fun and meaningful Galentine’s Day activities will help everyone feel celebrated, empowered, and totally loved.

Here’s the good news, you don’t need anything fancy to make this night special. A little creativity, some sparkly supplies, and an open heart go a long way.

Key Takeaways

  • Galentine’s Day is a perfect time to celebrate girl power, connection, and self-love

  • Activities like confidence circles, vision boards, and friendship bracelets add heart to the fun

  • Use this sleepover to create positive memories and meaningful conversations

  • You don’t need a big budget—just intention, creativity, and love

1. Make Your Own Mini Spa Kits

Start the night with some pampering self-care. Set up a “spa station” with DIY face masks, nail polish, fuzzy headbands, and lip balm making kits. Let the girls decorate little bags or boxes to keep their creations.

Pro tip: Include empowering affirmation cards in each kit for an extra boost of feel-good vibes.


2. Create Vision Boards for Friendship & Confidence

Break out the scissors, glue sticks, and old magazines for a fun and powerful activity. Have each girl and mom create a vision board focused on confidence, friendship, and goals for the year ahead.

Encourage them to share one word that represents their vision for the year!


3. Bake Heart-Shaped Treats Together

Nothing says Galentine’s like baking sweet treats together. Heart-shaped cookies, pink popcorn, or strawberry cupcakes are always a hit. Let the girls decorate with sprinkles and icing—and maybe even vote for the “Most Extra Cookie.”


4. Host a Kindness Card Exchange

Have everyone create a handful of mini Galentine’s kindness cards to exchange with the group. These can include compliments, friendship quotes, or simple “you make the world better” messages.

This is a perfect way to boost connection and remind each girl how loved and appreciated she is.


5. Do a Confidence Circle

Take a moment for some real talk. Sit in a circle and go around sharing:

  • One thing you love about yourself

  • One thing you admire about the person on your left

This activity may bring tears (the good kind) and will definitely bring smiles. It’s all about lifting each other up.


6. Watch a Feel-Good Movie (With a Positive Message)

Pick a movie that celebrates friendship, kindness, or strong girls doing brave things. A few ideas:

  • Zootopia

  • Turning Red

  • Akeelah and the Bee

  • Brave

Pair it with popcorn and cozy blankets for maximum comfort.


7. DIY Galentine’s Friendship Bracelets

Grab beads, string, and charms for a friendship bracelet-making session. Moms can make bracelets with their daughters or help the girls make them for each other.

You can even attach a little tag with a friendship quote or intention.


8. Lead a Mini Empowerment Workshop

Use tools like the FearlesslyGiRL Confidence Kit to run a quick empowerment activity. Try a worksheet on positive self-talk, a journaling prompt about bravery, or a group discussion on what it means to be a kind leader.

This is a meaningful way to turn fun into growth.


9. Snap Some Photos at a DIY Galentine’s Photo Booth

Set up a simple backdrop with hearts, balloons, or streamers and bring out silly props like feather boas, sunglasses, or handmade signs that say “Fearless” or “Girl Power.”

Let the girls take turns snapping pics together for memories they’ll treasure.


10. End with a Glow-in-the-Dark Dance Party

Turn off the lights, pass out glow sticks, and crank up the feel-good tunes. Think: Taylor Swift, Disney hits, or empowering girl anthems.

Let them dance like nobody's watching—because joy is contagious.
