Bring over some fun video games (Like Mario, Crash Bandicoot, ect...) and play some with him, play outside or go to a park if you can. Or you can let him watch TV or something. Yea, thats all I can think of. Hope I helped some.

When babysitting a 7 yr old do fun games like color or play hide-n-seek. Let him watch tv shows he likes or play some games but let him win for the joy of it

Shortie8959 answered Thursday December 16 2004, 10:54 pm:
Try playing boardgames, playing PS2, or whatever he has. Or I guess if it's warm enough, go outside and shoot hoops or play baseball or something. Or if there was snow, you could like, take him sledding or something! That's always fun. Just find out what his interests are from his parents or ask him what he wants to do. Have fun and good luck!
Hope I helped!

You can play addicting video games if he has that...Go outside and throw a football/baseball/whateverball with him if he's into sports...eat...go in the kitchen and make gross snacks(You can probably find recipes for gross-looking but edible food online)...Mmm...Tell him to say no to drugs...Uh...Yeah, alright, I'm out of ideas. Hope I helped a little though!

You can do lots of things! Play games (monopoly, life), cards, or if there's a computer and you're allowed to use it - play online games with him!

xluvinux answered Thursday December 16 2004, 5:55 pm:
Bring a movie such as Finding Nemo or Shrek. You could bring coloring books. 7 year old boys usually like sports, so try having a soccer ball or baseball for entertainment. in case something goes wrong, keep an emergency number close by. it could be the parent's cell phone number or whatever they give you. make sure you keep him happy, or he will probably bug you. if you have any good board games, bring them. make sure the games are fun for all ages. if you're staying late, bring a bedtime story and read it quietly to him.

Well, you should ask him what he wants to do. You can suggest stuff, like coloring, reading a book, watching a movie, baking cookies, playing campout or library or store or somethin.

If you are babysitting a 7 year old, there attension span may be short. So try to keep him occupied with games, coloring books, or a movie. Have fun! OR (lol) You can drug him with dymnatap and then u have the night to urself while he is sleeping...<j/k>take my first suggestion. thought i would add some humour.
