Menu

Posted on July 23, 2011 by Mikaela

A fun thing to do if you are making a meal for the kids is to make a menu of things that they have. That way the kids can order what they want like if they were in a restaurant! You can make one for each meal if you want ( breakfast, lunch and dinner). Make sure  to make copies so that all the kids can have one!

Who’s The Leader?

Posted on July 9, 2011 by Mikaela

For this game you need 4 or more players.

First choose someone to be in the middle and have them close there eyes. Next choose someone else to be the leader but don’t tell the person in the middle of the circle. Start the game by doing something,  like patting your legs. The leader can change what everyone in the circle does,  but don’t let the person in the middle see you change the motion. The person in the middle has 3 chances to guess who is the leader. If they guess it right then the leader is in the middle. If they do not guess it right with-in there 3 guesses then they are still in the middle.

Weekly Tips 3# “Good Night”

Posted on July 8, 2011 by Mikaela

When a child doesn’t want to go to sleep, try this: first, turn on some calm music. Next, sit with the child in her bed and start reading a book out loud. Gradually slow down how fast you are reading and turn the pages more slowly. When you see the child starting to nod off, tuck her into her bed and turn out the lights.

Make up a funny story with a friend or group of friends. Provide a piece of paper and a pencil. The first person writes three words to begin the story (“She went to…).

Buy a bag of fresh green apples, wash them, and with the help of a parent ( Depending on how old you are like if you are 10 or 11 ask for help ) , dip them into melted caramel. After they’re cooled, cut cellophane wrap into large squares and wrap each apple with one of the squares for if you are saving some for later (you can put a stick in each apple if you’d like). Bring them with you when you babysit and the kids can have a treat!
