Fun Babysitting Activities

It may be exciting to stay home with someone’s child but babysitting is no easy task.  Caring for small children is very difficult.  They need to be kept busy all the time and have to be watched so that they do not break something or hurt themselves.  The smart option is to keep children you are babysitting occupied with a fun game.  Here are some fun games that you can do with the child you are babysitting.

Marco Polo is not just for in the pool.  If you are watching a group of small children this is a fun game to keep everyone busy running around.  Select one child and place a scarf over their eyes.  The child will be “it”.  Have him/her wander around the room yelling “Marco”!  The other children will answer “Polo”!  The blindfolded child will have to find and tag the other children by following the voices.

Red Light, Green Light will help build the child’s reaction skills.  Select a child to become the light signal.  When he yells “green light” all of the other children will move forward.  As soon as the child yells “red light” the other children have to stop running.  The child that is closest to the light signal can touch him and run the opposite way.  If the signal child touches this other child, they will then become the signal.

Hide and Seek can be played with one child or a group of children.  One person is selected to count to twenty while the other person hides.  When the child is done counting, he will have to look around the room until he finds someone.  When that person is found, it is their turn to count.

Duck, Duck, Goose involves a group of kids.  Have the children sit in a circle.  One child walks around the circle touching each child on the head and calling out, “Duck, Duck, and Goose.”  When the child called goose gets touched on the head, he has to quickly jump up and chase the other child around the circle trying to catch the first child.  If the first child sits down quickly and cannot be caught, the new child now has to go around the circle.

Simon Says teaches children how to follow instructions.  One child becomes “Simon” and gives out orders such as “Simon says to touch your head.”  When the children hear the key words, “Simon says,” they have to follow the orders.  If an order is given without first saying “Simon says” and a child follows the order, he/she is out.
