Games to Play While Babysitting

"Hi! My name is Aisha Puri and on behalf of Expert Village, this is using a babysitter. When your babysitter is playing games with your children, you should also keep in mind indoor and outdoor games. Indoor games can include games such as board games which is for example we have here, card games that are age appropriate such as Old Maid, Go Fish or if they are older, you can play Uno or I Declare War. You can also play games at the table like finger plays with puppets. Very importantly outdoor things are very important for children’s growth and development. They provide gross motor skills. Usually gross motor skills include balls and running so you can play the Lacrosse with the children. These are little cross sticks. Kickball or just kicking a ball around the yard and having the children run thinking they are going to win some points. It is very important that the children get out and play to stimulate their mind and their bodies. The indoor games are more for stimulation of the mind and the outdoor games are for strategies and gross motor skills. My name is Aisha and thank you for watching."
