Babysitting activity ideas? Please help me?

Question

Okay. In about 30 minutes, I'm going to go babysit a 2 year old and a 4 year old. The girl is two, her brother is four.

I'm watching them for about 5 hours, maybe a little more, and I need game ideas.

What besides these can I do w/ them?

*Hide and Seek

*Scavenger Hunt

*Tag

*Movie..??

Answer 1

those are all good ideas. how about watching their fav tv show

Answer 2

A movie is always a good idea.

I also suggest, if the weather is good letting them play in the backyard. Reading to them is good as well.

Answer 3

About 1.5 hours before I'm supposed to leave them I usually bake some cupcakes and let them help make/decorate them.  I found that they like looking at them raise in the oven when the light is on.  Note:  make sure the parents are okay with the little bit of sweets.  It cost like $2 to make them so its cheap and a great waste of time.  Oh...the kids will love you for it too.  Also...if the kids are hyperactive...Id skip the cupcakes and maybe let them help you make something else.  Cooking is a great way to get kids occupied and they are so proud of what they did in the end.
