Children respond quickly to fun. Make it as fun as possible.

Sadly, I played the stick out your tongue game, and then they stuck out their tongue the whole time. The games didn't work at all. I tried "make a funny face then give me a happy face," we sang songs, talked about Halloween, etc. To be honest, the dad was the worst of all of them...he kept asking when he could leave. It was unbelievable. I should add, these were not babies...these were bigger kids.
