Make them have fun?
Nothing is fun if it's forced.
Dammit! I said you are gonna have fun even if it kills you!

As the dad of a toddler and kindergartener I can tell you there are a lot of good suggestions here. The best advice I can offer is to ask. Ask the mom and/or dad what activities the kids enjoy most and which activities they don't allow for their kids (i.e. wrestling is great for my youngest but his brother gets too rough, running around outside is fun for my boys but not my asthmatic nephew). Asking the children themselves is another good approach. Once you know the play boundaries from the parents asking the kids what they want to do is a great way to make them feel important - like they have a voice in what's happening and that you are interested in them and what they want.
P.S. My kids love to climb and crawl - tunnels, play structures, boxes, using chairs & blankets to make living room tents - HEY stop jumping on the couch - gotta go! Good luck.

What are their ages?
Since 2 hours isn't that long of a time for major projects, depending on their ages, here's some suggestions that my 2 kids love, ages 4 and 2....
*playdough or clay
*drawing/coloring
*hide and seek
*storytime
*treasure hunt (treasure can be gum, a sucker, a sticker)
*I spy
*outside activities....find cloud shapes, watch birds, look at bugs
*movie day with snacks
I hope this helps.

I just got my bsl(baby sitting licence) about 3 months ago and i have baby sitted over 20 kids so far. But for you i would just go climb trees or if she and the boy are young just color, if they are allowed to, then play the computer. I would bring some movies to watch or play video games if they have any. But GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

play ball/ catch ... girls like that.. I have a tomboy daughter, and actually, I have two. No, wait a minute... I have three!!! my three yr. old is a big tomboy... Oh no!!! I don't have ANY girly-girls!! Oh, snap! Lol...innyways, back to the question..... play catch, buy dvd.s age appropriate, read to them, like sports stuff, and chapter books. make the story come to life for them. Act out plays, skits, color... use the imagination go to places... go to the library, or do sports stuff. Tomboys like that...

I did too when I was younger, Depending on there age I would say movies and board games or if you can take them to the park.

wrestling and anything active is a good way to get them entertained and worn out so they sleep better. It also stirs their hunger so they'll eat whatever.

Coloring, playdoh
get some emtpy boxes and duct tape and let them create. My husband and I made a submarine for our toddlers. they love it

try setting up scavenger hunts for them with different actions to do or things to find.
