How to Entertain a Preschool Boy

Sometimes entertaining a preschool boy can exhaust a caregiver, but the boy will usually give as much entertainment as he receives. Preschool boys, defined as boys between the ages of 3 and 4, love to experience the world and often learn by playing. Preschool children develop lasting bonds with caregivers who can successfully entertain them. Appropriate entertainment will help to foster physical, social and intellectual development. Caregivers can entertain preschool boys using a variety of methods.

Instructions

    • 1

      Games, such as marbles or duck-duck-goose, can keep a preschool boy entertained for a very long time. Preschool boys enjoy social games, such as the "name game" where children sit in a circle and take turns memorizing one another's names.

    • 2

      Take the preschool boy on a hike. Allow the boy to run and walk to his heart's content, and you'll find him more cooperative for the rest of the day.

    • 3

      Teach the preschool boy to play computer games: this may help develop his concentration and familiarize him with computers.

    • 4

      Teach the boy practical tasks, such as how to tie his shoes or how to buckle his seat belt. Teach him how to rake leaves and other simple but important tasks.

    • 5

      Turn on a television program appropriate for two-to-four-year-old children. Preview programs to ensure they don't teach the boy inappropriate behavior.
