If I was you I would talk to the parents about getting some craft things like feathers,finger paint that is wash able,some paper,glue,some play dough and doug cutters or cookie cutters.You could also take the kids outside and get leaves rocks sticks ect. to make pictures.You can also plan like to do crafts for 15-20min.,then go to something else because their attention spanned is not very long so then you would do like music and dance for 15-20min. then snack 15-20min.Then maybe a movie.

I know that Sign Language gets them excited. Plus, it helps you learn it too.
Music is also a giver. Let them dance a little and perform a small show for you.
Also, under great supervision, let them paint a drawing for their parents. Kids love doing that

you can let them play with play dough...if you dont have any you can make some at home with a cup of flour and two spoons of water and some food coloring...thatll keep them busy

i normally put music on and dance with them. kids love dancing trust me. after the dance, they get tired and go to sleep. then you are free to do what ever you want to do!!!
