Free or Nearly Free Activities - Part 2

With friends or family

You can have a lot of free fun with friends and family - Here's just a few ideas:

* Cycle to a friend's house then go with them to a park for a picnic, take the food in backpacks and walk there. Or when the weathers rough dig out some old board or card games to play with or even learn a new card game to teach them - maybe a casino game played with candy.

* Dig up some sports gear and play soccer, or throw around a baseball or Frisbee.

* Call a family member or a friend that you haven’t spoken to in a while. If they have an internet connection, mic and Skype (or another voip program) you can have a free conversation.

* Have a home film festival by inviting some friends over and have each person bring their favorite movie. Pop some pop corn and buy some soda and settle in. Alternatively if someone has a TV series on DVD or video you can have a series marathon and go all night on a weekend.
