Movie
Theatre- see if there’s a PTA fundraiser movie program in your area. Otherwise, dollar movies are fun for kids and cheap for parents.

Specific
days- “water day” “painting day” “play dough day” “craft day” “games day” – declare your own holiday, or make one day a week a specific day dedicated to a theme.

Make your own movie theatre at home- popcorn, soda, treats, and a more comfortable place to sit!
Hikes- or even a scenic walk.
Swimming
Pool- my sister in law said it’s considered child abuse to not take your kids to the pool in the Summer! 😀

Scenic Drive- if you can afford the gas, go somewhere and do a treasure hunt. Make a list of things for the kids to find or see out the window. (cows, trash can, rock bigger than them, etc)
Camping
(even in the back yard)- something about not sleeping in your own bed appeals to kids. Even if you set up a tent in the living room.
