Answer 2

~ try to keep a daily schedual, this way there is consistancy and the children will know what to expect and also will make it easier for you.  Have am activities that are more on the calm side, like crafts or board games, (you dont want to have them to riled up 1st thing in the morning )   later morning early afternoon pick some outdoor activities like hikes, bike riding, going to the park,,,,,swimming.   Pick two days a week where you take them on an outing like a museum, movie, amusement park,,,

give each child their "one" day a week where they get to choose what they would like to do and you all do it together.......

Answer 4

I always find the day goes better if you keep a schedule, with set snack/meal times, set time that you go out, set time that they are allowed tv/computer/video game time.  Do the parents want them doing any school-type work at all?  Working on reading or math?  if so, you could set a time for that to happen everyday.  Plan outings in advance so that they have something to look forward to.  Ask them what they would like to do/where they would like to go, at that age, they have lots of opinions!  But you can suggest museums, fun parks ect.  Encourage them to have their friends over, or to hang out with their friends.  Summer is always a great time for outdoor water fun - water balloons, super soakers ect.  If they are into it, you can do crafts, or bake, or play sports.  lways bring water and a snack wherever you go!
