Babysitting is great for teenagers and youngsters who want to make some money. The pay is usually great and if you like kids, it can be rather fun. You may wonder how to keep the kids occupied and may wish to look for free babysitting games. The first thing to do is to choose games that are age appropriate. While toddlers and preschoolers are easily entertained with play things like spongebob toys, older children may enjoy playing board games or a treasure hunt.
It is best to have an action plan for the games you intend to play with the children. While for some you may have to carry toys, others may require you to prepare clues such as those for a treasure hunt. Most children enjoy making dough figures. Allow them to help you mix all the ingredients and shape them, and you will have to bake them in the oven.
You could also plan craft projects accordingly you would need to carry paper, child safe scissors and glue. Hand and finger puppets are fun to play with and can entertain children of all ages for long periods of time. Older children may enjoy a scavenger hunt or you could create a tent or a canopy with the help of a bed cover and imagine having a picnic in an oasis. Do plan a beverage and snacks that match the theme of the game.
If you have to get the kids ready for a bath, then interesting toys such as those that create bubbles are fun. Some spongebob toys and others are specially designed for play in the bathtub. Do have some age appropriate books to read to the children before they are ready to go to bed.
