1. Laser Tag
One of the greatest activities to do with your guy friends is a night of laser tag! If you haven’t played laser tag before, you should! And if your guy friends have also yet to try this fun, intense activity, you need to convince them to play laser tag with you! Laser tag is an amazing activity for both genders, and will make you feel like “one of the guys” for sure!
2. Poker Night
I turn green with jealously when I overhear guys making plans for a poker night. I love playing cards, and getting sneaky and competitive in a good old-fashioned game of poker. If you enjoy the same experience, you should suggest a poker night to your guy friends. Everyone will have a great time, and you’ll be having too much fun to make things awkward!
Frequently asked questions
Oh, there are so many cool things! You can go hiking, have a movie marathon, try out a new sport, go on a road trip, or even have a gaming night. It really depends on what you both enjoy!
Definitely! You guys could explore new places, cook a meal together, do some DIY projects, or even just have long, deep conversations. It's all about spending quality time and having fun!
Guys love a mix of activities like playing sports, video games, exploring outdoors, and sometimes just chilling with their close friends. It's all about balance—excitement and relaxation.
Absolutely! Collaborative activities like escape rooms, team sports, or even working on a project together can really boost your bond. Also, shared experiences like traveling or concerts can create great memories.
One of the coolest things is organizing a themed party or a game night where everyone brings their favorite games or food. It's a great way to enjoy each other’s company and have loads of fun!
3. Soccer
Or any sport of your choice! Both young men and women should be active as much as possible to benefit their health, but many of us tend to prefer sitting inside watching Netflix and eating Oreos over enjoying some fresh air! But if you suggest heading down to the park for a casual game of soccer, volleyball, or kick ball to your best guy friend, he probably won’t say no! It’s something different and fun that you can do together, and many teenage boys practically need sports to survive! So you can’t go wrong with a sporty day out with the guys!
4. Movie Night
Who doesn’t love a good movie? I know that, generally, guys and girls have pretty polarized views of what makes a movie “good”, but some movies are so amazing that they transcend gender barriers! Sure, some level of compromise will be needed on both sides, but you and your guy friends can have an amazing time just chilling at home watching movies you both enjoy!
***
Movie night is a great way to bond with your guy friends. You can all hang out in the comfort of your own home, and watch movies that you will all enjoy. It's a great way to get to know each other better, and it's a lot of fun.
You can make it even more fun by having a themed movie night. Choose a genre, such as horror, comedy, or action, and watch movies that fit within that genre. You can also have a movie marathon, where you watch several movies in a row. This is a great way to get a lot of entertainment out of one evening.
If you want to make the night even more special, you can make it a potluck. Ask everyone to bring a dish or snack to share. You can also make it a game night, and play board games or video games in between movies.
No matter what you decide to do, movie night is a great way to spend an evening with your guy friends. It's a great way to bond, laugh, and have fun. You'll be sure to make some great memories.
5. Truth or Dare
Teenage guys love doing crazy, sometimes stupid dares. So if you want to be one of the guys, you’ve got to play along! Don’t do anything you feel uncomfortable with, but don't hesitate to challenge your male friends and accept the challenges they give to you! You should probably ease off the “truth” half of this game, to avoid getting all touchy-feely with your guy friends. But if you’re at a loss for fun activities to do with your guy friends, you should suggest truth or dare!
6. Theme Park
Theme parks mean easygoing, carefree fun, and if there’s anything guys love, it’s that! On your next day off from school, why not get the guys together and hit the nearest amusement park? You’ll all have a blast and make memories that will last a lifetime!
***
Scream your lungs out on roller coasters, challenge each other at the arcade games, and don’t forget to snap some goofy photos with oversized plush prizes. Whether it’s the thrill of the rides or the challenge of winning that giant teddy bear for your room, theme parks are filled with opportunities to bond. Plus, indulging in those decadent theme park snacks, like cotton candy or funnel cake, is practically a rule! It’s the perfect place to let loose, share laughs, and create those inside jokes that'll keep you giggling for years to come.
7. Food Eating Contest
Personally, I’d do this with my girlfriends - I’d probably even have a food eating contest by myself! I love food, and have a beast of an appetite, just like many teenage boys do! Since boys mature later than girls, their bodies change and grow drastically throughout high school, and they need fuel to drive that change. And, like in everybody, food provides that fuel! That’s why your guy friends will always be in the mood for a food eating contest! Plus, what teenage boy doesn’t love a challenge? So next time you’re wondering what to do with your guy friend, whip out more than enough servings of your favorite food, and let the best man, or woman, win!
8. Pranks
I’m pretty certain that teenage boys and girls both enjoy pranks equally, so this is definitely an activity you can enjoy with your guy friends! Now make sure you don’t get into anything illegal or too mean to your peers, but some pranks are definitely harmless and worth trying!
9. Hit the Gym
This doesn’t fit into everyone’s idea of “fun”, but if you enjoy working out and know your guy friends do too, you should all hit the gym together! Guys get a sort of natural high after working out, so it boosts their mood, and there’s no time for things to get awkward! You can help train and motivate each other, show off and challenge each other. Who cares if you get sweaty and gross afterward! You’ll feel great and have tons of fun.
I don’t mean to assume that a girl-guy relationship is automatically awkward, but high school in itself is awkward! So it’s only natural that you’ll feel a bit uncomfortable around your guy friends, or lack ideas for activities you’ll both enjoy. Which of these ideas do you think you’d like to try? What other fun activities do you engage in with your male friends?

stephaniee2013: Definietly done all of these w/ my 2 close guy friends. The only one missing is the laser tag but we always go bowling or haunted houses or cruise or even race in our cars. Live life & ignore the rumors that you guys are "dating" or like each other. Personal expierience talking, it will blow over in 2 or 3 days MAX ! :)
Bongekile: What's that?
Francesca: All the activities sounds great...but Truth or Dare. That game is definitely a game I won't play with my guy friends that equals trouble.
Bongekile: #1 what's that?
Neka: i like everyone, except the theme park is kinda far:)
