I think that all kids should have fun when you're babysitting them. Here are some tips to keep them busy for awhile before nap or snack:

1. Get them outside.
2. Play around with the hose.
3. My mom used to say don’t play with your food, but this is so fun: Whatever food you have play cops or any pretend game the child likes. Put on a performance for the other children, or just put on a performance for yourself!
4. Tag (outside)
5. Hide and go seek
6. Let the kids be YOUR babysitter!
7. Play Dog.
8. Have a drinking contest. (preferably with water)
9. Take pictures with yours, your parents’, or the child’s camera.
10. Clean up but make it a game. Here’s how: Make a list for each child, then put them each on their own beds. Tell them to look there and start. Whichever child gets done first gets to pick what bedtime story they will be reading.
