What about pretend play- schools, Hairdressers. Kindergarten age children love make believe games. Board games, Teach her memory with simple cards (old maid deck). Let her decide what to play i'm sure she will love that. Have fun and good luck!

My kindergartner likes the game memory, you can also play barbies, or baby dolls, you can read a book to her, you can color with her, you can teach her how to play those hand games where you clap hands together, so many things! Have fun!

P.S. can you come over and play with my 5 when your done? LOL :)
