Babysitting games ideas ?

Question

so my cousin is throwing a party at her house this saturday and have asked my cousin and i to participate by babysitting all the guest members kids. in total, about 10 - 15 kids are going to be at a party.

my cousin has ordered a moon walk and bought some games to keep the kids busy while the party is going on.

problem is, i dont really know what to do. i mean how do i interact with the kids all at one time by playing a game that is fun and keeps the kids busy ?

please, all answers welcome !

Answer 1

How old r they?

Tell jokes play leap frog and group games

Answer 2

Well it would depend on how old the kids are and if they are boys or girls, but some universal games are

-Duck Duck Goose

-Musical Chairs

-Pin the Tail on the Donkey

-Art projects

-Red Light, Green Light

-Dodge Ball (if you have a back yard)

You can also make your own cookies or sundaes or pizzas etc. Kids love this

Answer 3

Ive had experience in babaysiting,

All you have to do is do what the kids want to do- If they want to play a board game- play it

If its video games - play it

Of course if you dont have that then here are some games.

Spin around and run(that is fun)

That telephone game(where you whisper a word and pass it on)

Cards(speed, Uno)

Tell a joke(how do you keep a dufos busy? I'll tell you tomorow)

Its actualy hard to make stuff up but I do!

Answer 4

Try Simon says or maybe musical chairs, relay races, Mother may I? or watch a movie! Just relax and have fun, the kids will let you know what they do and do not want to do. Just have a lot available and be prepared to let them separate into separate groups for different games. Here's a site with more ideas. Enjoy & Good Luck! =)

Answer 5

Werewolf! - err not suitable if very young, but teenagers might like it.

Answer 6

wing it be creative

Answer 7

Get a monopoly!! that will keep them doing their stuff for ages

Answer 8

Try buying small gifts for each of them, like colour pencils or comic books and have a lucky draw or dip.

Have competitions and fun quizzes, throw in a few prizes and you'll have their attention.

Play a few ''older kids games'' like truth or dare, which is almost like Simon says.

A few group games can do , such as musical statues, pass a secret, which is a game where you will whisper a secret to a kid and he has to pass it to the others.

ask them to bring extra clothes and have a water baloon war or a water gun war.

anything fun and easy will do and make sure you bring a bag of candy or marshmallows, just in case

various board games

kid friendly TV shows like Spongebob, Pokemon, Sonic

Storytelling (harry Potter too old?)

Answer 10

PASS THE BALLOON

EGG TOSS
