Hey I have that problem sometimes to.It depends on their age but I’ll usually say very excited ” Hey! Do yalll wanna play a really fun boardgame or watch TV> You know itll be fun!”
Or if theyre acting up Say ” Hey____ you might get a prize if youre super good! I think I ll give you, some money!” And then give them change from your purse. Good Luck!!! Hope this answer helped!

Depends entirely on the age.

I would recommend to watch videos, kids always love that. You could also possibly read them books. Just use your imagination and have fun.

you can get a couple of like easter eggs or something like that and put little things in them and hide them and then let the kids search for them. another idea is to get stuff for arts and crafts and come up with a craft that will take a while to do and will be fun for them! those are just a couple of things i like to do with them. there are plenty of things you can do with kids to entertain them if you just use ur imagination and act like them lol. good luck

Keeping them occupied is the key. Depending on their age and interest, you can play games with them, have them color, sing songs together, etc. Here are some links to get you thinking of what to do!

i don’t recommend watching tv, at least not right off the bat. you dont want the parents coming home and asking them what they did and all they say is that they watched movies and shows. play games like hide and seek or tag. paint or color. go to the dollar store and get some coloring books or something. kids are always more interested in toys/etc that arent theirs, even if it’s kind of cheesy. and after a few hours being busy, THEN let them watch some tv or a movie.

well a movie (that is suitable for their ages) is always good. board games. if you can drive, ask the parents if ice cream would be ok.
