No experiece as yet with this age group but am guessing things like computer games, such as play station, DS, Wii or simialar if you have one, craft activities would still be relevant, just prob different things to the little ones, crosswords/wordsearch type things if interested???, i have a wide selection of books in case I get any older children who may like to sit with a good book, tbh, I would ask the parent and children WHAT their interests are and be led by them. Most of all, don't panic about it hun!! Don'r forget outdoor play still.. trips to park/local farms/library/museum/swimming/foot ball in the garden, bats and balls, keep it simple really!!:)

Good luck!!

These ages will love playing with the younger children but you need more

i.e. outdoor play, football, tennis, frisbee, park, bike riding

soft play if raining or cold

crafts - hama beads, gluing, making cards etc..

Dress Up (girls love this) and making dens

13 year old boys love the playstation and ds but restricted time

Cookery

to name a few..
