28. My tip for the day on cheap entertainment. Scale up that board game! You'll need:
1. Kids who understand taking turns and moving spaces games,
2. chalk,
3. dice and
4. a sidewalk (or squares drawn on a large cement area).
Write instructions on some of the sidewalk squares like "move 3 spaces", "lose a turn", "go back one space", "do 5 jumping jacks", "turn in 4 circles" etc.
Roll the dice and let the fun begin!
Whoever gets around the block or to the end of the block first wins!!

It's nice to get them outside and moving while the weather is cooperative :)
Stole this one from the "Heart of the City" comic strip!!
