I think you should spend some time talking to them about respecting themselves and their bodies. They are at the age where some of there classmates maybe experimenting and they may feel the need to put pressure on a classmate so they wont be the only ones doing whatever it is they are doing. Let them know that if and only when they respect there selves can they find true love. And if they aren't ready to have sex they should wait. No matter what, they will find more pleasure in it if they do so.

try cordinating your activities to a bible verse or lesson plan llike for example

Makeovers(hair, makeup, ect.): relate that to how our body is God’s temple, or As long as we are Christians, God cares about how pretty we are on the inside.

Dance Dance revolution (or dance compitition): Praise him with the dance(casting crowns first CD)

hope I helped, i’ll think up some more Ideas and get back to you, my email is available

I think you should let them bring (preferably clean) music to have a dance party. I also like the idea of makeovers. I WOULD NOT DO HANNAH MONTANA. Most middle schoolers are "so over it." Good luck.

-Wii

-talk about making the right decisions @ this age

*not all girl middle schoolers are into makeovers!!
*hannah montana is kind of childish

I just had my 13th b-day and i had a frosen t-shirt contest. It was loads of fun all you have to do is get as many t-sirts as you need one size that would fit all the girls. Then you soak them in water and dont ring them out then you put the in big zip lock bags and put them in the freezer overnight and then you hand them all out and who ever gets there t-shirt on first wins a prize and you can choose what the prize is.

Dont do hanahmontana, its probably big with the 6th graders but the 8th graders would rather leave. At my churches lock-in (thats what we call the sleep over) hes our itinerary.
7pm everyone arrives
7:30 group games, we play sardines, basketball, soccer, and volleyball
8:30 dinner, ussually pizza
9:00 movie, we watched enchated once, and another time we watched the chronicles of narnia
10:30 bible chat, we talk about how the movie relates to the bible and god
11:00 freetime, there are other movies available and board games for us to play along with open gym time, our lockins are at a private school that the church is afiliated with
12:00 midnight ice-cream social
1:00 goup games, everyone gets together again for more group games, there is this reall fun game adn its kinda like tag but you take prisoners, and if someone from your team has been made a prisoner you have to go to the other teams side and try to rescue them (tag them) but while you are over there you risk being tagged your self its really fun
2:00 more free time, most people just chat, eat or sleep

at about 6:00 breakfast is put out, seeing as most people dont go to sleep it doesnt seem so weird

Middle school girls like to gossip so having the free time is always nice, you can also try and do a gift exchange or go to the local movie theater and watch a movie there

OK I'm 13 and i would love to go to a sleepover where there were lots of games and good. one game that was fun at my party was i put a whole bunch of random clothes like swim suits sweaters pants and scarves. u need all kinds of clothes. pajamas. everything. the best part is if u put lots of crazy clothes (not cute) u put them all in a huge bag. then u have everyone stand in a circle and pull out a clothing item. they have yo put them on in the order they pull them out. this game is soooo much fun and everyone looks ridiculous in the end!. an other fun game is to put a camera on a self timer and pass it around the circle making funny faces. the camera will set of and catch someones funny face. good luck w/ the sleepover
