I am 20 years old and i am babysitting 5 kids for the week.. I have a 1 year old boy, 2 year old boy, 3 year old girl, a 4 year and six year old boy... they are all related but i cant find anything productive to do with them. Because they are so close in ages all they seem to do is pick on eachother and fight. I live in a small little community of like 500 hundred.. please any advice.. im alone and got no extra hands to help

  1. arts and crafts

    hide and seek

    coloring

    make a tent out of blankets and chairs

    play outside

    go to a park

    take a walk to an ice cream shop or something and buy small cones for them

    play games with them

    hope this helps :)


  2. let them watch films-stuff like disney films such as high school musical entertain most kids of their age

    bring a ps2-games that are suitable for them-moderatly difficult will entertain them games such as point blank 2 with lightguns can entertain them fo ages since the game is difficult and requires skill and encouragement for them to do better to succed on the leader board

    also you should try clubpenguin-the community is great the novelty just wears off i would have said runescape most of the time the comminity asks you for money,gfs/bfs

  3. Water is liked by all and cheap.  Put water in pans/bowl outside and give them cups to pour water from one to another.  Utensil to stir it up.  

    Kids also like sand, playdough and markers/paper.  

    The babies are the tough ones.  Use the pots, pans and lids to create a play area.  

    Legos/mega blocks

    go for a walks (if you have a stroller)

    BUBBLES!!!!

    Baby Einstein videos work too for a little quiet time.

    Read books.

  4. omg,

    I babysit all the time!!

    Hide and Seek, Coloring..and when they color and they finish praise them a lot.

  5. hide- seek, scavenger hunt, make lolipops, watch tv, play games they want to play.

  6. Bubbles bubbles bubbles and bubbles. Throw some popsicles in then more bubbles bubbles bubbles! This can go on all day.

  7. find a rope!

  8. sleeping

    drawing

    playing in a park

    musical chairs

    competitions

  9. Finger painting  on big sheets of paper outside for the 2-4 year olds--probably the oldest will want to join in. Make a tent. Loads of naps for the little one. The 4 yo and 6 yo can help make snacks.  Park time. Bubbles. Red light green light. Red Rover red rover. Freeze tag, etc.

    Good luck!
