Answer 16

my sis is 7 and my brother is 10, they like to play "stranded island" a lot. the couch is their  island and they have to get fish and cocunuts and make fire with two sticks. it's pretty fun to do, actually. but pretend games like that are great. also if you can get a big box they both fit in, they can imagine tons of stuff with that. you can usually get some free from stores. i got a refrigderator box when i was little, and cut out a door and windows. it was a great house. :D

ditch digging...jk

Answer 18

almost any game you can play durring the day can be played at night if it is inside or w/ a flashlight

Answer 19

I like memory games, drawing/painting, card games, board games... really anything that is mentally simulating.

The best thing to do is simply ask them what they want to do and keep a positive attitude if they say TV or something like that.

What are you good at? Maybe you can teach them about something.

Answer 20

Take them to the park with 2 dozen tennis balls and a bat. Then patiently pitch to them. They won't want to quit. Be sure to bring water.

At this age they like to roller skate, swim, hike in a park with adults. Go insect hunting, collect them and try to identify them using the Internet.

Answer 21

legos

candy land

more go to kb toys

Answer 22

Nothing can beat the imagination; pretend something! Find out their interests and pretend something that applies to those. Go all around the house, dress up in stuff, whatever you need to do to create an awesome atmosphere. And make sure you're really dramatic!! ;)

Answer 23

Try something like capture the flag! It's very popular with that age group. You could also try catching firefly's.

Answer 24

You can make up adventure games, and when me and my brother were younger we made up random games like no escape from tickle land, and played karate babies where we acted like babies fighting...
