What is a better way to start off things...?

Question

in the morning when i babysitt? Like Instead of watching 3 hrs of TV.

Answer 1

My kids love to help me make breakfast ... just little stuf like break the eggs or mix them or little thigs like that. Also we make doing daily chores a game. Like if I'm folding laundry we race to c who can do it faster .... u can imagine what it looks like when they do it but at least they have fun and so do I!!

Answer 2

Maybe have the child choose a story they want to read with you.  :o)

Answer 3

well if you're waking up the kid...or they're still asleep wake them up with something fun  already planned. Like gluing cereal or noodles to a drawing or coloring page. make a necklace or bracelet with noodles or cheerios. play in the house games like clear a spot in a bedroom or living room and do charades for kids....write down different animals or draw pictures of them and have them try and act them out for you to guess....kids love it when adults act silly..don't be afraid to do things with them. IF you want them to stay entertained you have to do it with them and make it fun.

Answer 4

I babysit in the mornings too. I will usually bring something like an exotic fruit or some sparkly glue and say that later today we can play with this surprise I brought. Then I bring out the paper and pencil crayons and colour up a storm. Later in the day, bring out the surprise (or whenever they get bored of the first activity) and enjoy that for another 20 min. or so.

I babysit a girl though so its easier for me to entertain her. You could also go on the internet and search up fun games for kids. Or crafts. Theres soo many easy craft ideas out there.

But whatever kids you have, all kids love playing tag and freeze tag ect. So go outside and run around!

Blowing bubbles is a favorite with my 6 year old.

Good luck!

Play outside before it gets hot.
