I am watching a 2nd grade girl and a 5-year-old boy tomorrow from 9:30-11:00. They are in my neighborhood and I know them well. I am 12 years old. What are some fun things that I can do with them?

You can color with them, or maybe just take them outside to play with a ball. I know I always play this drawing game with children.......
Everyone has to draw a monster. Take turns going around the table saying what the monster should look like. For example, I would say "the monster should have 4 eyes" and then the next person would add to the monster. You can't look at eachother's drawings until the monster is complete. It's always funny to see what the monster looks like in the end!

more importantly...what not to do...
do not leave the caps off the markers
toys everywhere
talk on the phone
use common sense...leave the house in the same/better condition than you came. pick up after yourself. i guarantee that you'll be asked again to babysit if you are considerate and responsible. i have a 23 year old babysitter that has difficulty with some of these things.

Play active games like simon says, coloring with them is always good to it makes the feel special. As long as you do things with them they will be happy. little kids love when older people pay attchento them. board games are good to but a five year old needs patients. they don't catch on to quickly on the most part. But what ever you decide to do don't be bossy that will make things horrable for them and you in the long run.

Play a game? That's not very long so it would have to be something you can play in that amount of time..
