How to occupy the kids during a Superbowl party?

l8ybugn

Born into a Steelers family, married into a Steelers family... you can imagine the size of the party we're having Sunday! Whenever we entertain, my own kids end up having to do a major overhaul on the toy room. This weekend with about 20 kids whose parents are busy paying more attention to the game, how can I keep the disaster to a minimum? We've already moved Legos and other toys with lots of pieces up to the bedrooms. I might also hire a sitter. Other ideas?

Answer
GO STEELERS<3 sorry had to throw that out there

Make snack and drinks for everyone and hand foods for the kids give them a football and get them outside, little kids have an imagination tell them to play like they are in the suber bowl. when it gets dark you can put on their favorite movie or just let the kids play around, have the oldest in charge it will be fine.

Have fun!

Quick ideas to keep a crazy 6 year old boy busy!!!?

I'm currently babysitting my cousins. Their mother is overseas for a wedding and their father is here, but he's a doctor and works strange shifts, so when he's out working I look after them.

The boy is 6 and the girl is almost 8. She's quite well behaved, but he likes to cause a lot of trouble. Their parents aren't big on letting them use computers and tv all the time. It's raining here and it's really cold so we need inside stuff to do.

They're sleeping at the moment and have school during the day, but after school it's full on. We do homework first, but then have about 2 hours to spare.

We've been making lego, drawing pictures, playing card and board games, baking, plasticene etc.. but he's got an attention span of about 5 minutes.

What are some quick, tiring activities that we can do!?

Answer
Ok. i babysit 2 6 year old boys, and here are some things they enjoyed-

--make forts in the living room/bedroom, using bedsheets, chairs, pillows, etc. Then, play games inside; flashlight games are fun.
--You could make a snack mix with chex cereal, marshmellows, pretzels, and crackers. He can help with that!
--Make a scavenger hunt that leads all over the house, and ends with a simple prize. Or, make a list of things for them to find all over the house. ex; a paperclip, 3 red crayons, something furry, etc
--Make "GAK", it's 1 cup glue, 1 cup cornstarch, and a tiny bit of water. (I think, you might want to find a recipe online) They can mix it together with their hands, then play with it! Adding foodcoloring makes it a different color, or you can use BORAX powder for green gak that won't stain clothes! The 6 year olds i babysit LOVED it and played with it for almost an hour!
--Let them help you make supper
--Make up your own board games with paper and crayons. They can use dice and playing pieces from another game, and make up special rules as well!
--Make an obstacle course all around the house, and let them do it over and over again.. then change it up or make it more difficult. Ex; Spin around 10 times, hop across the family room, crawl under the table and back, etc
--If they have a video camera, the kids can put on a show or make a movie.. then show it to dad when he gets home later.. or tomorrow
--have a movie night-watch 1 movie, with popcorn and sleeping bags on the floor
--There are recipes online for edible playdough! That would be fun to play with.. then they can eat it for a snack!
--The little girl would probably like making jewelry
--Paper Mache a soup can with tissue paper to make a cute pencil holder
-HIDE-N-SEEK! The kids I babysit think it is SOOO fun when I actually hide and play with them! It lasts forever if I play.. instead of them playing alone..

I can't think of anything else to do inside.. whoo!
GOOD LUCK=)
