The main entertainment for my grand daughter has been sailing, she reads the radar , plotter and loves to lay the chart out and find her way against the gps and what she sees around. With binoculars a small vhf and her whistle she feels like hot sh*t. After the sun, the motion and all the activity a long nap on the cockpit next to pawpaw and all is well.
Actually now at the age of eight I have more faith and trust in her as my first mate than with the admiral
She knows the whole manoverboard drill and is incharge of showing guest how to operate the head, water conservation and do's and don't.
The important part is remember do not underestimate their capacity to learn and how they enjoy the process. Get them actively involved, call for bridge openning(only one has refused to answer her so far), let them at the helm and as look outs. Video games and that sort of entertainment is usually at night in port or anchorage before bed.
There is always the guitar and sing alongs underway.
