26. Explore volunteering

Ages 5 and up. Help them think about others.

Put a call into your local cats and dogs home, get in touch with a community art or gardening project or even make contact with a nearby hospital and see what sort of volunteer projects they run.

You and the children will get a huge amount of satisfaction from helping others and it's a great opportunity to bond with each other.
