Talent Show/Play You and the children can put on a
play or a talent show. |
|
|
Story Time Make a game by asking the child/children you are babysitting what are their favorite things such as colors, animals, food, songs, etc. Then make up a story and include all their favorite things in the story. |
|
| Roll a brightly colored ball to a child while sitting on the floor. Pick a room that is child - safe (one where no items can be broken). Set a good example by rolling the ball gently and always keeping the ball on the floor. | |
| Puzzles - cut up the front of a cereal box in fun shapes. Keep in a zip lock bag. | |
| Puppets - make one sock into a ball and put it inside the second sock. Tie a knot in the sock below the balled up sock. Paint a face on the second sock and let it dry a few minutes. You can slip the sock over your hand to make a puppet. | |
| Tape Player - record children's voices then have the children hold a hairbrush or wooden spoon and pretend it is a microphone as you replay their voices from the recording. Encourage them to dance and have fun! | |
| Household Items - collect household items, place in a brown paper bag, then play "where does this go" (teaches memory plus housekeeping). | |
| Dress Up - ask parents if they have any old clothes/shoes to play "dress up". | |
