Answer 8

im 10 so if thats close enough then mabey bring him to the park play hide and seek/ bet on hide and seek (he wont get as bored but if he loses dont make him give you money) or just watch tv/video games

Answer 9

My 8 yr. old loves his Game Boy, transformers, playing cars, reading if I read it and he likes the topic, playing outside, his skateboard or razor, or even bubbles if I play too. Kids are interested in all sorts of things if they get you to play too.

Answer 10

I don't know an 8 year old boy who wouldn't like a nature hunt.  Buy a bug, bird, or plant identifying book and set off in your neighborhood.  Most 8 year old like to express themselves artistically.  A paint kit, modeling clay, building kits, etc.  Bike rides( with helmets, of course) are fun.  There are so many things to do. Ask the young man about his interests and let him help pick and plan your activities. That, in and of itself, would be something he will enjoy.  God Bless
