Duck Duck Goose,

I Spy ( where each person takes a turn and points something out to the group by describing it and the first one who gets it right gets the next turn.)

head shoulders knees and toes.

Answer 3

ring a round the rosie

duck duck goose

Just keep the children occupied with songs, colors, numbers etc, I used to teach 20 2-4 yr olds and as long as they were occupied they were fine.

Answer 4

chutes and ladders

barral of monkeys

candy land

elefun

leap frog

Answer 5

she wouldn't have asked you if you weren' capable -just assist her if she's going to be there I'm assuming - and play during free choice time -have out play doh or painting.  If it is a preschool, then your mum must have lesson plans done for the day?  Go by that and have fun!  Preschool is my favorite age -they come up with the cutest things!

Answer 6

Here's a link for all sorts of games.

Answer 7

a game that you can make pretty fast is a game called draw&guess. Youll need to make a record of scores on a pretty looking paper. it is 3-6 players and you keep track. the turn goes around and the person will have to draw a picture and the others get to guess. the person who guesses it right gets one point and two if they get it in less than 10 seconds.

Answer 8

There's this really cool game where you try to make a story. What you do is get in a circle. And you say a word, the next person finds a word to join it. Actually, I'll give an example.

Jill: The

John: Cat

Bartholomew: Fell

Jasmine: Down.

Simple, and interesting!!

There's another game where the next person has to find a word that connects to the word you or the person before chooses.

E.g

Jill: House

John: Roof

Bartholomew: Tiles

Jasmine: Romans
