Help! I need babysitting ideas!?

Question

Hey I feel like the 4 kids i babysit are getting board of doing the same things over and over again. Can you guys give me some crafts and games for them to do??

Answer 1

Sharades, just write a whole bunch of ideas down and cut them up and put them in a hat. Kids love it, i know i sure did.

Answer 2

TWISTER that is so fun for little kids. but do the original version. and also, if you cook for them, let them help. i think little kids like helping and cooking and feeling big and stuff. haha have fun

Answer 3

our babysitter brings a game, but uses m&m's with different rules so that m&ms are earned.  you could also have them help you "make" a game and then play it.  you could bring some socks and beans, let them decorate them and tie them into bean bags.  use sidewalk chalk and let them draw a game board with points for where the beanbags land when they throw them.  try science projects- on youtube, you can look up science esperiments and find easy projects to do with kids (with just water and a soda can, you can make it implode- my kids liked that one!
