What to do with a 9 year old boy

[Mia'smummyx]

May sound strange to some but I have no idea!!!
I am hopefully taking an afterschool 9 year old boy, im trying to think of things to buy/ have for him..
I have a trampoline, arts and crafts, wii. His dad said he likes DS and animals ( great i have two cats and a DS) but surely he will want more than just that.
I dont want him to be bored!!
Help will be appreciated.
Also do I have to do any paperwork for him other than permission, collection, allergy forms, policies and procedures.

LEGO.

Drawing.

Reading.

Tiddly Winks (my older ones play this for hours)

Bouncy ball

Figures

Football.
I look after a 9 yr old boy and he loved den building in the garden the other day. I gave him some camouflage netting and some bamboo sticks and pegs and he just got on with it. I also find boys at any age will still play with the cars.

My 5 year old has some older friends and they all love Xbox, DS, wii, bouncy castle (although I have to keep reminding them to be careful with my 5 year old in there) they all love to play at the park outside my house

lego, lego and more lego!

my 8 yr olds love it!

also very attached to cars, hot wheels in particular!

football in the garden, or running round like loonies!

i find they also enjoy playing with the duplo, fisher price little people, the toy animals and when i made a muddy building site in the tuff tray in the garden with the diggers ... the LO didn't get a look in!

the other thing mine all play at the moment is snakes & ladders!

All of the above and I get mine puzzle books and he enjoys those.

Mine goes on the computer sometimes too - puzzle pirates is a relatively safe site

ah, yes, all the above and also Club Penguin is a good safe networking site for kids! I have a 'spare' penguin here that it for everyone to use! They will spend ages on it!
