Music concerts in the park - in the summer many cities have free concets in the partk
Fossil hunting
Scavenger hunt
School Plays - often free or very inexpensive
Dinner in the park or on the beach - if you have a cell phone, you can get food delivered almost any where. Set up a table and chairs at the beach or by the lake or in the park and order out for delivery.
Factory Tour - learn how things are made
Farm Tour - learn where things come from
Fruit picking - hit your local orchard and pick some fresh fruit
Historical sites
Volunteer
Home Depot - they have classes on how to make fun stuff
Library - they have all kinds of programs

Walk in the countryside on a sunny day - cant beat it.
If you hunt around there are many free attractions in London. The Bank of England Museum is free. The Tate Gallery. exhibitions at the British Museum. Theres lots of events in the rest of the country too -eg the Maldon Mad Mud Race just after Christmas.The Thameside Mummers at leigh on boxing day. The Southend Aur display. Use the web to search - theres lots on for free. But best to plan in advance.
Go selling at a boot sale and let the kids sell their old toys to make money - they usually love that.
Feed the ducks at your local park. Or kick a football about.
Spend time with your friends and their family.
Or just take an interest in your kids - they're priceless.

Hiking.
Take 2 cars, park one at the entrance, and one at the exit and then hike back to the one at the entrance. Bring lunch in backpacks, and plenty of water and enjoy the walk and the talk and nature.
Leave nothing behind and take only pictures.
