article: When you're looking for a board game to play, look on the box to see the recommended age range. Play easier, learning-focused board games with a younger gradeschooler. Play more challenging board games with an older gradeschooler. Try board games like Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, and Guess Who if you're playing with a younger gradeschooler. If you're babysitting an older gradeschooler, you could play board games like Monopoly, cards, and Yahtzee. Lay newspaper down on the table and set up a painting and drawing station. Use washable, nontoxic kids paint and markers in case they get any on their clothes or skin. When they're finished, have them write their name on their artwork and give it to their parents when they get home. Grade schoolers have a lot of energy, and playing outside can be a great way for them to get some exercise and have fun. Make sure they're not running around near the street and that you keep an eye on them at all times. Play catch. Get a softball or wiffle ball and you can toss it back and forth. If they have a wiffle bat lying around, you can make bases and start a baseball game. Run around outside and play tag. You can try different tag variations like freeze tag. Have a scavenger hunt. Hide a bunch of items in the backyard and have them try to find them all as quickly as possible. Ask the grade-schooler you're babysitting what movie they want to watch and watch it with them. You can even make popcorn so it's like you're at a movie theater. Before you watch the movie, check the rating to make sure it's appropriate for someone their age. Stick with movies that are PG, and avoid movies that are rated PG-13 or higher.

article: While the cookies are setting, turn the oven on and set it to 350F (180C). Allow it to heat fully, so it's hot enough to bake the cookies when they're ready. When the cookies are set, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Let the cookies bake for approximately 8 to 12 minutes, or until they become golden brown at the edges. Depending on the size of the cookie cutters you used, the cookies may need to bake longer. Large cookies may take up to 15 minutes. When the cookies are finished baking, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 10 minutes. If you try to move them when they're still hot, they're likely to break. Once they're partially cooled, use a spatula to move them to a cooling rack. Leave them on the rack for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until they're cooled completely. If you didn't decorate your cookies with sugar and sprinkles, you can ice them once they're completely cooled. Store the cookies in airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze the baked cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

Studies have shown that people who eat a healthy, balanced breakfast in the morning are more alert and energetic than those who skip breakfast. Aim for foods high in protein, like eggs, tofu, yogurt, or peanut butter. Or choose nutrient-rich food options like oatmeal and fresh fruit. These foods will fuel your body through the day and give you the energy you need to stay awake and active. Caffeinated beverages can help you combat sleepiness and make you feel more wakeful and energetic. And drinking coffee or tea can bring plenty of health benefits, too. These naturally caffeinated beverages are chock full of antioxidants, and recent studies suggest that drinking coffee can even decrease your risk of developing depression. Don't drink too much! Excessive caffeine consumption can cause anxiousness and irritability. Drinking too much coffee can also interfere with your ability to have a good night of sleep after you make it through the day. Opt for coffee over energy drinks. An 8 oz. cup of coffee typically contains more caffeine than the same serving size of most energy drinks. Drinking enough water is important to maintain your body's natural functions, and dehydration can actually make you feel even more tired. The physical act of chewing keeps your body awake, and ice comes with the additional benefits of being refreshing and hydrating. Snacks high in protein and vitamins, like nuts or fresh fruit, can help give you an energy boost between meals when your body starts to drag. Even just a brief 15-20 minute nap can boost your energy levels and leave you feeling more alert, awake, and able to perform at work. Don't nap for too long. Napping for more than 30 minutes can lead to increased grogginess after waking. Remember that you may feel groggy for about 15 minutes after waking. It might be a good idea to drink coffee immediately after a nap. Your body needs most of its calories in the morning and afternoon. Give yourself the fuel you need when you need it most. Be sure to make healthy food choices. Overdoing it on calories or sugar at lunch can leave you feeling more tired in the afternoon.
