Do volunteer work together, make seasonal cards for nursing home residents, plant a garden, play a board game, read a book and talk about their individual perspectives on the book. Write a skit and perform it at a daycare center.
I think if they especially focus on activities which help or bring joy to others (not just themselves) that their friendship will deepen as a result.

I know this was asked I while ago but I think I can be helpful to those who ask this question in he future.
Jepordy!!
You can make a jeporday game. Just make your own money slots such as $100 to $1,000 you can make these out of index cards. Then buy an white eraser board (which they sale at your local walmarts). On the board place the money cards with tape. Now as far as the categories use a dry eraser maker to write each catergory. You can go online and look for easy categories and place all questions and answers on the index card that you are reading from. If the constestants complete a category they get a small prize. Last item is a " Easy button" this you can find at staples for only $3 dollar.. The easy button is for players to press when the question has been asked.

Some ideas:
go out for dessert instead of dinner
high school football games
donuts on a Saturday morning
having a "movie night" with a rental, popcorn, soda and candy
could she bring your daughter into work one afternoon and show her around?
volunteer at a local animal rescue organization or the pound
learn to knit together (tons of websites have free lessons) and make each other a scarf

Well, find some common things they like. Go to the Zoo or go Feed the ducks at the park. Just do something that gets you moving! Draw or play a board game!

Hiking, fishing, playing sports of some sort, watching movies (dvd's), board games, visiting elderly people and talking to them, many have no family or visitors. Hope this helps some.
