Frugal Activities

My kids would ride their bikes and play with neighborhood friends. I know that is not an option for everyone depending on where you live. We would go to one of the local playgrounds. Summer programs at the library. Sidewalk chalk. Good luck and stay cool

If you have a free public park nearby, you could makke races with prizes and other kinds of time consuming play. When I was a kid I loved to just ride on my bike. Other "old" games could be interesting for them if they could win something. Anything, even a popsicle, would do as a prize. You could even talk to their friend´s mothers and make it a party.

we love the library and visit there at least once every two weeks no matter what the season is. they have free dvds, cds and of course books and magazines. we also visit the park, the beach and have friends over that they dont always get to see much.

My kids range from 8-20 and they all love going to the beach. We had done this for years in the summer. I pack lunch and we hit the local beach. I get to soak up the sun and they have a blast swimming, playing football or volleyball.
