i babysit every weekend,and there's pretty much anything you can do with an 8 or 9 year old. Here's some ideas:

take them for a walk

go to the park

do a sport

read to them

cook together

get on the internet

play hide and go seek

Answer 10

How bout some classic board games? Or maybe teach them how to play poker, and bet candy? Don't resolve to TV and movies. Good luck!

Answer 11

its starting to get nice out (here atleast) maybe play outside ride bikes side walk chalk, soccer etc.

im sure they have some games like scene-it or something you could play with them.

at that age (atleast with my experience) they pretty much do their own thing unless they ask you to do something with them
