Answer 1

Well, if you babysit tonight, you probably wont have 4 hours to occupy them cause there's gonna be bedtime (especially for the 2 young ones). Also, they dont always need to be entertained. They have their toys (and will be showing them all to you), and with that movie, you wont have any problem.

You'll just have to change the younger one's mind at the beginning so they forget their parents are gone (but the older one will help you on that).

Good luck!

Answer 2

Depends on the kids.  When I used to babysit I would put on some music (from the radio - so that there is no possible bad language) and the kids and I would dance.  They liked to spin and jump around and it would tire them out and make bedtime easier.  The 7-8 year old girl may even be taking some type of dance classes or chearleading and may get like the activity.  The younger two will just have fun moving around.

Answer 3

The 3 and 2 year old will probably sit and watch a movie. Atleast I know my 3 year old would. Something else that kids of ALL ages love...making tents out of blankets in the living room.Make some snacks and watch the movie in the tent.
