game ideas for 4 and 6 year old boys?


I babysit two boys they one is 4 and the other is 6. Evertime I see them they ask me to make up a new game for the three of us to play. I'm am running out of ideas. Do you have any ideas for a good game?

Answers:
Outdoor treasure hunts (go find 5 different flowers or leaves, what kinds of bugs do you see?, who can find the prettiest rock, etc.) , squirt guns, frisbee throws,

Indoors, make up an indoor obstacle course using pillows, plastic containers. They have to go over/under chairs, hop over the plastic container, jump backwards over the pillow, etc. Also make an indoor tent using blankets & tables and go "camping" indoors. Pretend to see bears, go for river rides, etc.

I don't think it matters wether they are boys or girls, my son is 5 and his favorite thing to do right now is to play with toy dishes. So i suggest a tea party or whatever you don't have to call it that. They can make lunch for the teddy bears and other toys. It's lots of fun.

I have babysat with a lot of kids. I find that if I start them playing marbles, or blocks, they use their imaginations and keep themselves occupied for a long time. You do have to be close by in case they start to argue or fight. They also like checkers, and other board games. Making houses out of furniture and sheets, kids love making dens


Turn the sprinklers on and let them run around!!! I still love to do that. Or, you can get that sidewalk chalk and let them draw all over the driveway so they can play hopscotch and 4 square. I used to tutor a class of first graders and they LOVE relay races. If there's enough kids you can try that too.

Go to the dollar tree and get them a ball and play catch with them. there boys they'll love it. My nephews 1 and 4 loves it.
