Dress Up Games – Five Minute Costumes


When you decide to change costumes or go ahead with a costume at the last minute, you don’t have a lot of options. Of course, if you’re savvy, you can make a great costume out of things around the house just by getting creative – in five minutes of less.

Business Man – Ask your dad for a suit he doesn’t wear much. Roll up the pants and don the suit. It should be extremely oversized and the jacket will hang. Pull your hair back tightly and part it down the middle. Use gel to keep it in place firmly. Grab a briefcase and you’re ready to go as a junior sized executive.

Ghost – Find an old sheet and throw it over your head. Mark where your eyes should go with a marker, take the sheet off and cut out two equal ovals. Put the sheet back on, and you’re ready to go – just don’t try to do much with your arms.

Clown – Dig through the closets in your house to find oversized pants, a shirt that doesn’t match anything, brightly colored shoes – tennis shoes or other big flats, and then use face paints. Paint your face white and draw in a nose, cheeks, a mouth and eyebrows. A fun hat finishes off the look.
