- Go to the library - Most libraries have special times just for kids, but you can visit and read books together at no cost at your leisure.
- Take a hike - Look up a trail, path, or whatever you have nearby, and check it out. Spending time together in nature can be an excellent bonding tool between parents and their children.
- Visit your local firehouse - Usually if you call ahead, you can set up a time with a fireman to take your kids in to see the trucks, hoses, and operations of a real firehouse.
- Game night - Dig out those old board games, form teams, and relive your childhood memories of playing games like Monopoly and LIFE.
- Watch a baseball game - Check online or ask your kids any local baseball, softball, soccer, etc., games are going on. Games that are outside are usually free, and inside events through schools usually have a very low admission rate between $1 - $3.
- Cook dinner together - You're cooking dinner, anyway, so let the kids pick dinner and cook together.
- Backyard camp out - Camping in the back yard is a blast for kids. Set up the tent, make some s'mores, and if you can have a small campfire, even better!
- Garden together - If you have a big garden, great. If not, it's super cheap to pant a little potted plant, and your kids will love to watch their creation grow.
