Answer 2

Basketball: Crumple peices of garbage around the house ( that you know you can throw away ) to make ten balls for each kid. Set out a trash can. Each child tries to make as many baskets as possible.

Letter Writing: Ask the kids to ' send ' you letters, describing what they want to do the next time you babysit. Let them seal the envelopes and drop them into a ' mailbox ' or ' mailbag ' you've set out. Read them when you get home.

Card Games: Bring a deck of cards, and show kids an new game each time you babysit. In concentration, lay out all the cards facedown. Take turns flipping over two cards. If the numbers math, pick up the cards and take another turn. At the end, the one with the most cards wins.

Magazine Scavenger Hunt: Give each child an old magazine or catalog, along with a list of things to find, cut out, and glue onto paper.

Soft Volleyball: Run a peice of string accross, the floor, and have the kids stand on either side. Blow up a balloon. Toss it back and forth without letting it touch the ground.
