Babysitting help!???
Okay; so on monday (tomorrow) and wednesday I have to babysit two little girls over at my house (ages 8,10) they have come over once more time before and when they were here I was bored to tears; we had nothing to do and they were getting on my last nerve. they are going to be here from 6:15 am – 3:30 pm. 
. I am trying to make an agenda for what we could do; and I can’t come up with anything!
Some things about where I live:
We live near tons of parks (but im thinking they are a little old for those.)
It’s always nice outside
We have a trampoline
Big backyard
and a lot of outdoor play toys. and yeahh.
but can you think of any games we could play outside or just anything?
please in desperate
if this helps at all im 14.
thanks sooooooo much in advance!
Well, they’re coming really early, so let them hang out and watch tv at first, if they want. They’re not so small that they like getting up that early anymore, so they’ll be tired. Let them have some time to wake up.
Make sure to feed them mid-morning, even if they’ve already had breakfast at home. Chances are, they’re hungry again. You can make an activity of that by making pancakes and eggs together.
Throughout the day, you can:
-Play on the trampoline.
-Go bike riding.
-Is there a pool nearby? You guys could walk to the pool and play in the pool and get ice cream.
-Go out for lunch (make a picnic at the park or walk to the diner or pizza place)
-Do an art project. –Go to the art store and look for something cool that bigger kids might like to do (make jewelry, paint a shirt, make clothes/sewing)
-Girls that age LOVE fashion. Do a fashion show!
-Put on little skits or make a play to perform for their mom when she comes to pick them up.
-Play a fun board game outside
-Play soccer, catch, keep it up volleyball, tennis, badminton, basketball
-If it’s warm, you could have a water balloon fight
Since they’re not much younger than you are, don’t dictate to them. Work with them. Let them come up with ideas. Just have ideas ready for when they say “I don’t know, I’m bored.” Don’t be afraid to let them watch tv or play video games for half an hour or an hour if that’s what they want to do. However, do your best to keep them outdoors.
I’m 21 and I babysit an 11-year-old and her family, and when it’s just us or just us and the other older kid, we just hang out and talk mostly. You could just hang out outside and talk, just have something to do like a board game or lanyard to keep busy while you do that.
Think about it: You were that age not long ago. What did you like to do then?
