well i babysit these 2 kids one is a girl and she is 3 the other is a 7 year old boy! they love to play games. i babysit them a couple times a week for all day.. and im running out of indoor games for them to play when it is to hot outside to play out there. i have basic ones like duck duck goose, hide&seek, and just typical board games, but i need some more fun stuff for them to do.


Answer
write a list of things for them to find throughout the house like a scavenger hunt. you can make arts and crafts out of food like macaroni or just any thing in the house. make up a story with them bye having each of them say one word and keep going around in a circle that one might be hard for the 3 year old. tell funny or scary stories what ever the kids want. read them a book that they both agree on. find some stuffed animals and play pretend. play tea party with the girl and then play one game that the boy likes. have them take turns picking games. tell jokes. let the kids help make there own food. play school with them and don't tell them but actually teach them some new things. you can play house with them. i hope this helped bye good luck!!

I might be able to get a job as a babysitter its my first time and i would like to know what r some activity's an 6-7 year old boy would like to do. Theres also a 5 year old girl i would be babysitting but since im i girl i have an idea for that. But any way what r some activity's to do?


Answer
Ask them what they want to do first. There's no need forcing an activity on a child that already has their mind set on something.

Build A Fort- Do you remember how much fun it was when you were a kid, to build a fort out of blankets and chairs? Well even if you don't, building a fort is loads of fun for kids and really develops their imaginations. The ideas are limitless: You can pretend you're in a tent camping in the wilderness, a prince or princess in their castle, or even a bear in your cave.

Coloring and Drawing- Babysitting activities for children don't have to be complicated. In fact some of the simple ideas like coloring or drawing pictures can keep kids entertained for hours. If they don't have coloring books, you could even print some free coloring book pages online before you arrive at the house.

Playing House- Another idea that's popular with little girls is playing house. "You be the mommy and I'll be the daddy." This one can really get kid's imaginations going as they simply love role playing. Of course, this activity might get a little tiring to you if it goes on for an extending period of time! :)

Hide and Go Seek- Another good old fashioned classic is hide and seek. Just make sure you outline the boundaries of where kids can and cannot hide within the house. You want to make sure safety is first and foremost in mind.

I Spy Clean Up- play "i spy"with the toy in a messy room and when they spy it, they get to put it away. They won't even notice they're putting toys away.

Simon Says- Simon Says is a fun game that even helps the kids with their listening skills.

Sing Songs with them. Kids love to sing...sometimes the same songs over and over. These don't need to be new songs. In fact, the kid standards might be the best because there's no teaching required. Examples: London Bridge is Falling Down, Ring Around the Rosie, and Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round are all great starters.

Color with big fat crayons. :)

Pop-up books- Pop-up books or other books that are interactive such as those with textures are a good choice. These are more unusual so that kids will be more interested in them. For babysitting at night when the sitter is there, books can calm a child down, helping them to fall asleep. Always bring books with you to read to them at night.

Orchestra-This game is great for both tiny tots and older kids. If actual kid-sized instruments are not available, use pots and pans, buckets, lids, and brooms and put together a living room orchestra. You can make this even more fun by bringing your own instrument and showing the kids, maybe even letting them try!

Water Paint -This is another great hot-day activity. Grab a bucket of water and some old paintbrushes and have the kids âpaintâ with water on the patio or driveway. Talk about easy clean up!

Balloon Kites-Tie a balloon on some string and make a kite!

Bring some of your old toys and videos--kids LOVE when they have new stuff to play with.

Tatse Guesses-give them a food blindfolded, then have them guess what they ate.

Laundry Basket Basketball- Set out a laundry basket or tow. Give the kids socks that have been rolled up into ball shapes. Let them throw the socks in the baskets.

Play Freeze Dance! Take turns being the person in charge of the music, and turn it on and off. When it's off, stop. When it comes back on, dance! You can also play this just moving, if you don't want to dance.

Them- Activities are great, but sometimes just play with their toy and do what they want.

Bake cookies.

Bring her some magazines. A lot of girls love magazines. And it will make her feel big and important!

Volleyball- lay a string on the floor to use as the center dividing line and blow up a balloon to use as the volleyball. You can play too or be the reff.

Scrapbooking- Older girls will love to scrap book. Collect some stuff that you can do to scrap book with the girs. Probably best ages 8+

Reading â weâve just curled up and read a bit, our own books that is!

Things to do outside will keep them busy and get them tired. Other things like bubbles, board games, make braclets if some are girls, play doh, and coloring, are great too.

Always bring activities for them to play. It's fun to have new toys! Now that I've babysat for most of my clients at least 3 or 4 times, the kids recognize the tigerstriped backpack I bring babysitting and saunter over to it and check out what games I brought while I'm talking to the parents!

Hope I help!!!
