Help me I need ideas and suggestions!?

Question

Hi!!
Ok my cousins are coming in 3 hours!! On is 5 years old (Boy) and the other is 10 years old (girl) How do I keep them busy!?
Please don't say ANY board games! We have a Wii but we don't have the safety strap to the remote and my mom doesn't want to take chances of them braking the tv.
We would play outside but it is late and dark by the time they come and tomorrow another boy is coming he is 14 years old so I have 3 kids I need to keep busy! Well the 14 year old could hang out with my brother (he is not my cousin) and my two cousins could play with me but what should we play with!? What should we do?

Answer 1

Have them help with the preparations.
Setting the table, & decorating it.
helping with food prep & cooking & serving.
It is a family thing & they should participate with all the family, instead of just entertained.
Happy Thanksgiving!
