Arts & Crafts! I used to LOVE that stuff when I was a kid. It's amazing how you can grab their attention with some colored paper, scissors, and glue. Cheap too. Dancing is another good one. They get exercise, and don't fight with eachother. Teach them to jump rope. They're plenty old enough to learn and you can get exercise with them. Read them a story. That can take up to an hour, and it's good for them.

Takes me back to the babysitting days. Girls are easy, and honestly most little kids already have ideas of what htey want to do. A good number of them already have it all planned out.
But for little girls, dolls, tea parties, dance parties. Disney movies, hair braiding, games. Stuffed animals, coloring, painting. Paper dolls, making snowflakes, hearts, any sort of crafts.
At the beginning ask them to show you around, they'll show you all of their favorite toys, games, videos. Then you have a good idea of what they like and can go from there.

There are so many things for girls, play dolls, color, just comb their hair and play beauty shop, if they have tea sets have a tea party or pretend to cook a meal, play store with some play money old purses and items from the kitchen. Girls are easy to entertain with all the things around the house.

Kids love to help, it makes them feel more grown up and proud of themselves. Have them help you cook something, bake a cake, or whatever. In the end, they'll learn a lot, have fun doing it, and be able to enjoy what they've helped to create!
Other than that, there's tons of other stuff - like playing games or reading. One other thing I like to do with kids is have them help me create a story. It's perfect 'cause it gets their imigination going and in the end, again they have a sense of accomplishment and have learned something and get to reap the benefits of what they've helped create. It does wonderful things for their self esteem as well!
Enjoy time with the kids!

There are lots of ways. For one, hide and seek is always fun. In addition, you can paint, play with play doh or even watch a Disney movie. You can also have an Easter egg hunt with left over plastic eggs.
