logeerpartij

A logeerpartij, often translated as a sleepover or slumber party, is a social gathering where a group of friends stays overnight at one person's house. These events are typically for children and adolescents, though adults might also have them. The primary activities often include playing games, watching movies, eating snacks, and engaging in conversation. The overnight aspect is a key component, allowing for extended social interaction and shared experiences beyond a typical daytime visit.

Logeerpartijen are often seen as rites of passage for young people, fostering independence and strengthening friendships. The planning usually involves the host and their parents, ensuring adequate space, food, and supervision. The duration can vary, from a single night to a full weekend. While the term is common in Dutch, the concept of a sleepover is universal and exists in many cultures under different names. The emphasis is on shared fun and camaraderie in a relaxed, informal setting.
