Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500. The bank can pull out just $100 for you and you wouldn't have to buy all $500 if you didn't want to.
Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin book and try to fill all the holes or just search for interesting ones.
The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same boxes over and over). So you get most of your money back and you could then get another box.
Also check your change for interesting finds.
Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, etc. There's always the chance that you could find a real treasure!
It's also helpful to buy a red book. It can help you price your coins and will answer many of the questions you may have.
OR IF THAT'S NOT FOR YOU...

Why can't you guys play musical chairs? Or maybe just bring in a radio with some catchy tunes and dance around and make what you are doing and need them to do, look fun?
I have a toy microphone in my car, when my boyfriends 6 year old rides around with me we take turns passing the mic telling a story. "once upon a time there was a cow" pass it "and the cow said my name is leon" pass it...and so on and so forth. Soon the story becomes so exciting you wish you never had a destination! ;-D
Hope that helps!

Play "rag tag" Get a old pair of socks (clean) tie them together then whoever is "it" throws it at the others .
Or get a bunch of old socks and tie them together and play dodge ball with them (much harder to get hurt and easier to dodge...remove the rule about catching.
You don't specify the kids ages but there are plenty of activities that kids find fun..they just have to be directed into the directio they can go.

This site should be of help. They offer games for kids of all ages. Do a search to find something appropriate for each age group.
