Okay well I guess you already know I babysit for money...Wow that sounds kidna bad..
but anyway what are fuun things I can do with kids ages 6-8?
You know fun things, including outdoors but STAY AWAY FROM VIDEO GAMES!
going to the park is always fun. playing in the sprinklers if the weather allows it. finger painting. if its little girls, then maybe bring some of your old clothes over and let them play dress up. they'll love it cauie they will feel pretty cool dressing up in "big girl" clothes. or you could help them bake something for when their parents get home. or you could just ask them what THEY want to do. besides video games. haha
Parks and playgrounds are good... For little girls, take over some over your old clothes for dressing up games, or bring your makeup over and let them play around doing your makeup. For little boys, football, and other games like that. Or for both, story telling where you tell the first part of the story, then a child conitues it, then they stop, and another tells the rest, etc etc., can be pretty fun too!
haha thats funny because im babysitting two 6 year olds and one 8 year old rite now I took them for a walk around the block and let them ride their bikes if theres a park close by then take them there if they have a pool then let them swim but I have learned the hard way...dont give them too much sugar! :P
you can start by eating all their food in the refrigerator..just kiddin.. uhmmm.. get to know the child like his interests? dislikes and likes? so you can decide a fun activity that you can both enjoy.. but still ill go to their ref and eat and throw a big party at their house...invite a lot of friends..lol
Well, we've done finger painting, house/dressup (her clothes were tooo small and they would only go over my head) I take them to the park and we draw adn play with clay, but I have never tried any food making...besides black clay butter and yellow ...:S stuff. LOL
well, lets see I am a daycare provider and I love to take my kid to the park if it is cold or something make a game your self like I dunno be creative I do it all the time they love the attention and the feedback
go to http://www.americangirl.com/agmg/todotoday/sittertips.php and they have 'sitter tips' and today's is...read books you liked when you were their age
I know they love to pretend to play family or school but if they have an idea listen to them. They know what they think is fun.
Hang-man, sherades(if I spelled it right), duck duck guess. classic games are more fun
