Answer 2

Try some board games, simple ones like Candy Land or Chutes and Ladders.

Or maybe try getting her to tap into her creative imagination (All kids at that age are highly imaginative) and just go along with it. It's fun to play along with a child.

Also, if you go online, look up some preschool websites. Go to your search engine and put in 'preschool activities'. There are TONS of different things you can do, like art crafts, games, and stuff like that. It's really fun!

Answer 3

When I go to visit my nephews and if I'm feeling adventurous I'll swing them around until they're dizzy and try to get them to walk (They can't! They're falling all over the place laughing like crazy, aha). They really enjoy that for some reason. Or I'll hold them upside down and walk swiftly forward. I guess seeing everything upside down at a fast pace is fun. They like crazy stuff like that. But if I'm not feeling adventurous I'll just play the old kiddie games like hide and go seek, tag or just chase them around. Kids that age like being chased around a house and when they get caught you just tickle them like crazy. I'll also build a fort with them if I don't mind cleaning up afterwards. Then there's the guess which hand the penny is in game.

Answer 5

4 year olds often enjoy arts and crafts, building with blocks, and being silly.  I have a hard time suggesting games because when I'm around 4 year olds, I generally just interact with them and go with the flow.  If you're open to doing whatever they want, you often don't have to come up with games to play.  Just go outside and follow their lead... go into a room full of toys and follow their lead....  Ask them questions about things they like or dislike, ask them what they want to do.  Suggest something like a puzzle or building something and follow their lead if they have a different idea... et cetera...

a treasure hunt? u say something like the first clue is under a hot thing then they go n find then clue lets say under kettle says i'm in somewhere cold and so on until he / she finds the "treasure" maybe a box of chocolates? or u let their imagination run wild and draw crazy things on a piece of paper their imaginations are pretty wild so u n him / her can have fun!
