What should i play with the two 5 and 6 year old girls that im babysitting?
Answer:
They love to have stories read to them, they love crafts, coloring and doing puzzles, things like that, I have 4 children!!!
It's a big job trying to keep them occupied
HAVE FUN
It depends what there into i know my daughters really like board games and being outside while other kids can stay occupied for hours watching tv or plying videogames.
board games. if not board games then cards go fish or old maid. learning games are best the parents will love you for teaching them and reccomend you to their friends as well as ask you back again
snake and ladders
junior monopoly
dress up
cards
take them to the park
They love art.. Take an art project..brown paper sacks, print outs from online, crayons, glue sticks, anything artsy, buttons, popcicle stickes, glitter, paint, pom pom...make collages...pasta, beans, cereal. Have them make a gift for their parents for the holidays or new years.
I added a fun link below for you to explore. Good Luck!
around that age most little girls like to play pretend. pretend house, mommy, cooking.anything really. Most little girls i babysit around that age either love me to play dolls with them, play pretend, or even sometimes color for their parents till they get home...good lucK!
A great game is go fish. They probably know their letters so it will make them feel good to play such a 'grown -up ' game. Also you can use the cards to play the memory game too. Also, they will probably like speed stack too!
try matching games I babysat once for a kindergardener year old and she liked it she should have some toys too
Board games are great. They occupy lots of time. Then, see if it's feasible to go outside to play. If you live in a cold place, it would be fun for them to play in the snow and then go inside for hot cocoa. If you live in a warm place, see if there's a park nearby to go to. I think small children do really well with some exercise in them.
You could also see if they have puzzles, or get out some crayons and draw pictures. Low mess, creativity, lots of fun.
lil girls love to play lots of things, like dress up, dolls, grab em some paper and crayons or u can even crumple em up and let em kick them around the floor -- kids are so easy to entertain, there are movies , make a tent, let them find things around the house u hide, play I spy, hook em up with a playstation, give them books to read or look at, let them play camping by putting blankets and pillows on the floor w flashlights, playdough, or give them a snack, -- there are so many things to do, you can even print out coloring pages onlne or let them play barbie,com -- goodluck!!
Well, I have a 6 yr old daughter and she likes just about everything ,especially if the attention is on her... or them. My girls like to play with Barbies, and love to play with makeup and love to get their nails done ( of course you would have to ask the parents first ). also, they like sports and to play games.if you have a playstation or sega or something that would keep them occupied for a long time, or to watch a movie.. Also, just ask them what they would like to do.My girls also love to cook and eat!! They would be interested in just dancing with you in your room!! LOL my daughters love to spend time with older girls so, as long as you listen to them and dont let them run all over you, I am sure you and they will have fun!
At any age a mix of creativity, music, math, and art is great. The younger they are the shorter their attention span so be prepared to switch often.
Here are a few specifics:
-I spy with my little eye...
