Babysitting/games
So I babysitted for the first time last week. This kids really quiet and all he does is want to play soccer. Well we got really bored after playing sports for a while. Now that I'm babysitting offically for him I dont know how to entertain him.
Does anyone have games to play that involves like running around/being active?
or just games in general? :]

Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
How old is he?
Most of the time the kid has no problems picking out what you should do. Just ask him what he wants to play next. If he's not sure, suggest something like board/card games, hide and seek, or reading. Also, ask to see his room. Ive noticed that when I first start sitting for a family, the kids always enjoy showing me their room.
If you are still stuck for ideas, talk to friends who babysit and ask them what they do to entertain the kids.
good luck!

Depends on how old he is I suppose. You could do some simple cooking with him like pizza he can make himself and do his own toppings, melt some icecream and add stuff like crunchie pieces or m'n'm's then refreeze it, nachos, tacos, bake a cake. Then you could do craft stuff like painting/ fingerpainting, making cards for an upcoming birthday, making a scrapbook, or bring him a colouring book and crayons as a present. If he has a computer you could make slideshows, use paint, take photos and edit them and print them ect. Challenge him to a playstation game, watch movies, play board games, I agree with hide and seek too! Take him to the park, feed the ducks. There are so many things when you really think about it. Just depends what he's into!
Good luck and I hope I could help you!

hey, why dont you ask him is he has any board games that he likes to play? also ask him what his favorite movie is, get him some icecream or sometype of treat and put the movie in.

I agree with Hide and Seek. I play that CONSTANTLY when I babysit. You could try tag?
Or, there's a game where you hide something somewhere and they have to try to find it as fast as they can. Try these (:

HIDE AND SEEK is amazing. i babysit all the time and this is definitely a good game, because while he's hiding and you're counting, u can clean up the house and stuff, it doesn't take much energy, but keeps them entertained
