It’s finally December! With holiday break approaching quickly, the time where you’ll be reunited with friends and family is just around the corner. Maybe you haven’t gotten the chance to visit in a while or maybe you see them every other day, but it’s always special when you get to be with the people you love during the holiday season. If you’re coming back to your hometown for the holidays and are looking for a creative and hilarious activity to do with your friends, we recommend hosting a powerpoint night! You’ve probably already seen this idea on Tiktok, but we bet you haven’t gotten the chance to actually do it yet. With the break you get from school and work, this is the perfect time to plan one! Invite your friends over, throw on some music, grab some snacks or drinks, get comfortable and listen to each other’s presentations of choice.
Of course, powerpoint nights only work if everyone comes up with a creative and/or funny topic to present. If you’re someone who’s always wanted to host a powerpoint night but aren’t sure what to present, we get it! The ideas to choose from are overwhelming and seemingly endless. Although you can present anything you want, we recommend a topic that incorporates everyone in your friend group. It will be way more entertaining if you keep your group engaged with what you have to say about them. Scroll on for our favorite powerpoint friends night ideas.
Rating Relationships
This topic can be a touchy one, so make sure that first and foremost, you won’t offend anyone. With that being said, this topic is also one of the funniest. Rate you and your friends’ exes, hookups or situationships on whatever scale you decide. Bonus points if you allow for audience participation.
Past Lives
Who were you and your friends in previous lives? Even if you don’t believe in reincarnation, this is still an interesting topic to think about with your friend group. Do you have a creative friend that reminds you of a famous artist? Maybe someone has a similarity to a historical figure. Anything goes here!
Fictional Universes
What fictional universe does each person in your friend group belong in? This is a great topic because of how broad it is. Incorporate whatever books, movies, tv shows and any other franchises you can think of. It will be extra fun if you provide a reason why you made each choice.
Hunger Games/Horror Movie
With its popularity right now, you had to know this franchise was coming up! The debate of who would make it the farthest in a theoretical Hunger Games is one that we’re sure every friend group has debated at some point. This is your chance to finally determine who the victor would be! Going off of that, if you’re not the biggest Hunger Games fans, this idea works just as well under a horror movie format. Who would die first? Who would be the killer? Who’s the iconic “final girl?” Tell your group who you think would make it out alive.
Predict The Future
Time to test your psychic abilities! Where do you see your friends’ lives headed? Where will they move to? What job will they have? Who will they end up with (if anyone)? What major events will occur in their lifetime and what projects will they be a part of? This idea can be a cute way to see how your friends perceive you, but it can also be funny if you decide you want it to be.
