Expert Answer

You can use props like coins and cards, which are easily accessible. For a coin trick, you can try the disappearing coin trick by pretending to transfer a coin from one hand to another while secretly keeping it in the original hand before revealing the empty hand and then showing the coin. Then an easy card trick is called the rising card, which involves having someone pick a card, placing it back in the deck, and then using your thumb to secretly push their card upward, making it appear to rise from the deck. You can try practicing these tricks in the mirror first to see how they look.

Play a board game or watch television. Get to know this child's personal interests so you know what he/she enjoys.

Question

How can I entertain someone that I don't really know who my mom invited over?

Community Answer

Board games are a really easy way to make things not so awkward even if the game is boring as anything. Try any games you have lying around in the house or, if you have a set of playing cards, you could play card games.

Question

What do I do if it is just me and one other friend?

Community Answer

Pop some popcorn and turn on Netflix (or a DVD). If you want to get out of the house, go for a walk around the block, to the park, to visit another friend, etc.

Question

How do I entertain my "friend" that my mom has to babysit so that I can have some alone time?

Community Answer

You could try to interest your friend in a video game or show and maybe tell them you have some homework you need to do. Otherwise, your alone time will just have to wait until later, because you don't want to be rude.
