If you want to keep someone, under the age of 10 busy, just keep it coming, rapid fire.

What is “it” you ask? Any of these should work:

• Ice cream – their favorite variety of flavors.
• Toys – any kind.
• Quiz questions, you better know the answer…
• Hangman, Tic-Tac-Toe or Dots?
• Math facts, somehow related to them or their family – how old are you in months?
• What’s your favorite color?
• Bees or butterflies?
• Blue or red…or four?
• Legos or Minecraft?
• Star Wars or … Never mind – of course it’s Star Wars – instead, what’s your favorite light saber?
• Mets or Phillies…
• Phillies or your local little league team?
• Uno or Jenga?
• Go Fish.
• Tag, you’re it.
• Not it.
• What’s my name?

Any of these questions, statements or options, asked rapid fire should keep them occupied – unless you have a few spare “under 15-year olds” to keep them engaged – preferably of the cousin variety.
