What are some good activities?

Question

I'm a few days shy of being 20 weeks pregnant and tomorrow I will be babysitting 4 kids - 2 11 yr old girls, a 7 year old boy and a 11 month old boy.

The 7 year old is VERY hateful, he beats up on his siblings, curses, spits, kicks, hits, throws stuff - you name it.

These kids don't have any type of game console. What are some good activities I can have the older ones do together without them fighting so I can keep an eye on the 11 month old? I will be watching them for 10 hours.

Answer 1

how about cursing, spitting, kicking, hitting, throwing stuff  you name it

Answer 2

play outside, tv, good luck

Answer 3

Atomic crunches

Answer 4

If the 11-year old girls are girly-girls, they'll just love gossiping, 6th grade right? If there tom boys put them outside to playh soccor or something. ask the 7-year old if he wants a friend over. Haveing a friend may distract him from fighting.

Answer 5

Awe, youve got the flu? Too bad. Youd better tell her that you babysit then.

Answer 6

2 11 Y/Os- Have them take care of the 11 month old. It will help alot. Now, you only have to take care of the little evil 7Y/O

7 Y/O- Take a chair and put it in a room. (perhaps the kitchen) And every time he does something put him in the chair. You have to put him in the chair for 7 minutes. If he gets up, pick him up and put him back in the chair. DO NOT TALK TO HIM OR GIVE ANY EYE CONTACT! When the time is up, talk to him firmly, not meanly but make sure he gets the point why he went in the chair. Repeat this again, and again if he continues to act badly.

Answer 7

go to mainevent or just an arcade or even better call super nanny

Answer 8

I would hop online and find some extremely inexpensive craft ideas to keep them busy. Rent a couple of good movies they may not have seen. Maybe even stop at the library and pick out a few good books geared towards what each of them likes. Somethings like that so that maybe there are a few choices. Also, maybe get some fixings and things to make a pizza together with them. Just try to have things for them to do...for them to focus on rather than fighting with one another. If they get bored, or it gets dull, sounds like that is what he will refer to. Haven't these parents adressed this issue with this boy? Why in the world he is allowed to bahave this way? Maybe ask what they do for discipline so that you can be prepared to step in and stop it all.  Sounds like you will have a long day...good luck!
