I assume you do not have any money to buy games. Use what is around. You could play a match game. Use the king, queen, jack, 10, and aces in sets of two. Use face down and pick to find pairs. You could play musical freeze. Pre-record some music for 5, 10, 15 qnd 20 seconds each, with pauses. When the music begins, you dance and when it stops you freeze. Take paper and markers or crayons and ask her what she likes, then draw it or have her draw with you. Take markers and macaroni and some string. Paint the pasta with the markers. Let dry, then string to create a necklace. Take some colored ads from a magazine. Cut out a lot of pictures. Bring glue and paper. Let her pick out the pictures she wants to include on her page and gule them on the paper. Play animal moves. Name an animal and then move like it- frog, swat and jump rabbit- stand and hop a monkey- bend over and walk with hands scraping the floor a bird, flap and 'fly' a dog-walk on all fours an alligator-crawl flat on your belly. Just a few. Don't forget to read a story and use voices for all the characters. If you know how to make cookies, do that together for a snack. A good dvd is always a winner for that wind down and go to sleep time. Have fun and good luck.

I believe one of your responses suggested playing memory with playing cards along with a few other excellent ideas. I would also suggest going to the library (if time permits) and getting a few books to read to her...Disney is a good start as are books that are short. You could also make some playdough to take with you or better yet, let her help you make it...all you need is flour, salt, cream of tarter, oil, food coloring (sorry I am in the processing of moving and don't have my receipe handy),while it cools you could let her "help" you wash the dishes BUT let her play with the sudsy water first...let her use a straw to blow bubbles, let her use measuring cups/spoons etc... Then wash the dishes before using the playdough (cookie cutters are great to add). If you are able to find 2 or 3 take beanbags and let her play simon says with those, with a deck of cards you could try to stack them up high, Make up a "feely bag" use an empty plastic container and put inside a tube sock, next find various objects that you could put inside (1 at a time) and let her guess by touching them what the object is/are...pinecone, rock, spoon, feather, wet,cold noodle, small toy, brush.... Use objects (no more than 5) and line them up and play "What's missing" ex: stuffed animal, napkin, doll, shell, book. Have her close her eyes, say "Jeepers Creepers open those peepers and guess what is missing!" Prior to her opening her eyes remove one of the objects...be sure to take turns and change out the objects. Finally, ask her what her favorite things to do are. Good Luck!

for a 4 years old girl what you can do is to have some story telling of probably a sing along and also you can pretend play with her.
