oh my, there are so many. A lot of old card games you can buy at walmart and dollar stores. such as go fish, old maid, match games, several alphabet, or flash cards with addition, subtraction etc. or without spending any money, you can play mind games such as, i spy something with a color, or an object, anything inside the house or outside, then take turns guessing the answer. or you can use pencil and paper from home, and play an old favorite such as hangman, or say if johnny had 5 apples, and gave 2 away, how many would he have left. just use your imagination hun, probably anything a 15 year old would come up with would be ok with a 5 year old.

The park is a fun place to start you could teach him game or have a pinic. If it is raining you could do some bakeing of cokkies or something thats always fun. You could go roller blading or bowling they have things for little kids. You could make some puzzels to do. What about a day at the beach you could have a sand castle comp together or even get some other people to join in. I hope this helped. Have fun

My daughter was huge on going through the ISpy book series and finding all the hidden objects in the photo collages-it was fun for me too because they are often hard to find! It gave us hang out time. We also painted and drew together- its so good for them! Bright felt pens- so many are washable too for you and the house (just in case!) and beads and cooking together----besides they learn and if you start with little bits of time pretty soon they are spending more time and their self entertainment muscles are up and running! Have fun!

Well, I'm not sure if you'll enjoy this, but I usually play like tag with my little cousins. It gets boring after a while, then we play like soccer and try to get the soccer ball in the goal. We do other sports and stuff too. It's pretty fun for me...get the exercise in and get to hang with my cousins.

Carve pumpkins with him...cut off the top for him and let him scoop out all the goop and draw a face on it. Cut out the face for him and then light it up. Kids love it. You can roast the seeds in the oven too...shake them with the powdered ranch dressing mix and put them in until they are golden brown...yummy.
If the weather is nice, take him to a park to play...or to a dog park to watch dogs, if he likes them. Its a great time of year to get outside and do stuff.

i'd point out it to her father and mom. She would have seen something that wasn't meant for little eyes. infants technique issues they dont totally understand via the context of play. because of the fact the quantity of the "pastime" exchange into "you're taking your outfits of and lay like this" and not something extra specific, i does not suspect abuse suitable away. My husbands father and mom accompanied 2 infants who were sexually abused, and at 2 and four the unfavorable little ones knew way extra beneficial than that. It exchange into intestine wrenching to pay attention the flaws they might say or describe or act out (via play with dolls) even though it exchange right into a technique they necessary to bypass via (they have been the two put in scientific care asap...and years later they the two are happy and quite properly adjusted infants, thank God) yet my factor is this little lady looks attempting to paintings out something she would have seen, not recreating something that exchange into executed to her. i'd convey it up back to her father and mom. If she is exhibiting different signs and indications that have you ever in contact, subsequent time she is over ask her some questions like "the place have you ever seen that?" or "who else performs that pastime with you?" and see if she does not shed some mild. solid luck. I in actual fact wish each and every little thing is wonderful and its in basic terms organic interest and not something extra.

try making some outfits if you can get a sewing machine - halloween is coming up - try making some weird outfits, masks etc
look up some masks from different cultures and try to copy the style
of course your brother wouldn't enjoy that part as much as you might but paint, glue, paper, cardboard, that stuff is always fun

My kids like Candy land and shoots and ladders board games. They also like to play card games like old maid, go fish. What does he normally like to play when he is not in front of the TV? Usually kids have their own favorite games so ask him.
If it is not to cold you could go to a park.
