This Saturday, I agreed to babysit two kids and I have no idea what activities I can do with them to keep them entertained for at least 4hrs.
One of them is a boy about 10yrs old and the other one is a girl in kindergarten....
Any ideas?
Just any basic tips would be great.

Art projects, crayons or finger paints for the little one and regular paint for the older one, or whatever old art supplies you might have around the house. Kid friendly movies. Simple snacks they can help make (ask the parents what they like). Suggest board games they probably have a few. And be willing to play with them, not just try to get them to go play by themselves. There is less of a chance of the kids getting into trouble if you are playing with them.

Depends on their orientation...
Simple craft projects are good. I saw a whole range of craft kits at Hobby Lobby and Michael's. Making Christmas presents might appeal right now.
Take them to the park.
Skating. Toss a football.
If you and they each have bikes, you could all go bicycle riding.

First of all bring a back pack full of options:
Soccer ball, table-games (kids of that age love them!), puzzles, crayons (watch them carefully because you don’t want them to sketch on the walls!) and color papers (teach them to do paper planes or paper boats)
You can also bring short story books, and read to them (try to read in different voices, make them laugh!!)….
Bring them a candy bar or a lollypop and give it to them at the end of the day…
Ps: If you get mad or annoyed, contain yourself, always smile and remember they are kids.
BEST OF LUCK!
