Babysitting three cousins. How do i keep them busy?

Question

Okay, so tomorrow im babysitting my three cousins. The youngest is in Senior Kindergarten, and the middle child is in grade three and the oldest grade five. I dont know what i should bring to keep them occupied ! Everytime i go over they always ask me what i've brought, i've totally run out of things to bring. I'm babysitting from 7:30 in the morning to 3:30 in the afternoon. PLEASE HELP.

Answer 1

Since they're all young you should do something physical to keep them busy. This will also tire them out sooner. Try to take them outside and play basketball or nerf football or tag.

Or if you're inside try to set up an obstacle course. Use what ever you have on hand, cones, hula hoops, baseball bases, hockey sticks, etc.

Set up an obstacle course a hockey stick to jump over, a hula hoop to crawl through, cones to run around, whatever. Have the kids take turns going through the obstacle course and keep making it harder. Keep score or form teams.

Answer 2

MOVIES

Answer 3

Watch movies, play games (hide-n-go-seek, board games...), play with them outside, if you can drive, take them to the pool or a park.

Answer 4

watch dvds with them (try not to watch worse than batman) unless u want them hyper

take them to the park

Answer 5

photos of you and your friends or family can be fun, home movies that include them, ipod, movies, that is such an age difference.....maybe a cake mix something they can all do or cupcakes or cookies and stuff to decorate them.

Answer 6

I agree with "time crisis dude",  take them to the park let them run around and play, when you get back to the house give them something to eat like ice cream or some cake with milk, don't let them watch any actions cartoons or something like it, they will recover energy doing this(must be some science explanation) by 9:30 they should feel tired and you should have no problem to put them to sleep, I do this with my kids, if nothing of this work you be the tired one and they be hanging from the ceiling and painting the walls wile they watch pokemons
