Activities for a 9 year old

5 replies

Finfintytint · 25/04/2022 18:41

I am about to support a mum and their nine year old boy for a while. They will be staying with us in our home. My son is an adult and I haven’t entertained a nine year old for twenty years!
I know it depends on the individual child but what do they generally like to play with at the moment.
I will be getting plenty of art supplies and maybe some Lego.
is PlayMobil too young?
Any ideas please? I don’t want to overwhelm him or miss the mark age wise.

He is a non swimmer but I have already promised to help him with that.
