Chinese checkers i good for both ages. If you need a quiet activity, try a Do You See What I See? book.
Here is a list of things you could do with the kids:
1) Watch a Disney movie
2) Draw (kids love drawing)
3)Make treats and foods together (be safe though)
4)Bring an easy-to-learn game
5)If you or them have playstations then play that (ADDICTIVE)
6)Just hang out
7)Do whatever they want to do
8)Prank calls! (Just kidding. Unless you want to)

I hope the list is helpful to you. Good luck babysitting!!
how about jewellery making...with beads
you can play hide and seek, and poker
Drawing..
Viedo games
Kids love playing online at Secondlife.com check it out and I bet you'll be playing too! I know that I am a member! Seriously check it out.
some really great games are:hide and go seek,tag,(if it's a girl-beauty salon)
You dont realy want to give them exact directions so you should just let them do whatever they want with the supplies you give them.You should give them play-dough or crayons and paper.There are many great ideas to do with children.Good luck!:)
collect all the playing cards you can find and have them make a huge house and see how big they make it before it falls. Have a drawing or coloring contest. Usually at this age they entertain themselves.
cards, coloring, make anything into a race or competition, popcorn and movies (they'll usually crash), word searches, computer games, let them take pictures or movies of themselves doing something to show their parents when they get back. let them tape each other coloring or doing a project or doing something silly. They love it!
How about playing some music and dancing? children love this, just don't have anything too energetic before bed as they may not calm down.
Nice name! Here are some solutions:
1.Watch cartoons
2.Play scrabble(a good game to learn new words)
3.Play with dolls or cars
4.Make some structures from paper like airplanes or boats and tell them to paint it
5.Tell them funny stories(anecdotes) or fairy tale, bet-time story etc.
6. If they are really clever they will cluck for something really intresting like documentaries and etc.
painting
drawing
playing tag - OUTSIDE!
take them 2 an open feild, w/ parent's permission and throw a frisbee around.
