Barbie Games and Babysitting


If you’re wrestled into babysitting, you do have a secret weapon at your disposal. To be sincere and such, you should always ask your young charge’s parents if it is okay to take their child online to show her the wide world of Barbie games, but most parents already have Barbies underfoot, so this shouldn’t be a problem.

Once you have permission, take care of all the other things you might need to do like feeding children their dinner and clearing up a bit. Then get everyone a sippy cup and sit down at the computer. Older children will have no trouble picking up how to make the Barbie games work. They will learn in a matter of minutes how to make different outfits by mixing and matching clothing.

Your charges might also like the other Barbie games available online besides the dress up games. Be careful that you keep things simple enough for the younger ones to play, too, but otherwise you’ll be the hit of the evening for introducing the children to online Barbie games. Just be sure to leave a note with the URL of at least one game for the parents. They might be bombarded with requests for more games the next morning.
