Answer 3

Ask him/her what their favorite game is (board game or hide-and-seek), and play it with them.  It makes the time go past so quickly.

A child that age can make suggestions about what he/she wants to do.

P.S.  My favorite board game was 'TROUBLE!'

Answer 4

Coloring is always a big hit with kids.  So are simple card games like go fish and memory.  Movies are good for later at night when it gets closer to bed time.  If its during the day, don't be afraid to get outside and play games lke hopscotch, "Mother May I?", and tag.  

As for food, it all depends on what the kid likes, but a fun one kids always enjoy is making your own personal pizzas!  Buy some biscuits, then flatten each one out.  Spread some tomato sauce on top and let the kid make their own pizzas by adding cheese, and other toppings (like olives, pineapple, pepperoni, sausage bits, etc.).  They get a kick out of being able to help and are more likely to eat because they want to try their own creation!  

Plus, most seven year olds are pretty well developed in terms of knowing what it is they like to do or eat so have an open dialogue with the kid.  You can always ask for advice from their parents.  Good luck!

Answer 5

Every child is different.  Your best bet is to ask the child what they want to do and eat.  The child is old enough to express their likes and dislikes.
