How do you play with a newborn?

Like actually? Read a picture book? Baby gym on back? We try to do tummy time but can only do 1-2 mins before a cry. I let him sit facing me relaxed leaned against my thighs or chest to chest with neck stretched to look at the colorful banner on the wall behind my BF armchair. I just don’t know what to do those times he seems playful and content but not sleepy! 6 weeks today, but would LOVE input in play from 6 weeks and forward. Tysm!
