we enjoy going out on walks or to the beach. That covers the age range quite nicely

Puzzles - get them cheap from car boot sales/charity shops and obviously simple ones for the younger kids and harder ones for the older kids/adults.

We do home movie/documentary night once per week, taking it in turns to pick the title... We make floor beds in front of the tv, make popcorn and get other snacks in. Out youngest is just 4 so she just eats the snacks and then falls asleep Grin but she loves it all nonetheless

Swimming

Going out for brunch (once in a while!)

Bowling

We go swimming a lot as you've already mentioned. Cinemas, meals out, bowling, theme parks, the park, the seaside, bbqs, anything crafty- they're all very creative, adventure parks, there's a low rope centre not far from us, they love that!

Not a bigger family (only 2 and one in progress!) but have you tried geocaching? Ours really enjoy it

Going for walks with picnic or bbq. Eating, generally!

A vote for geocaching here too, or orienteering. My younger ones like the 'treasure hunt' aspect, and the older ones manage the map reading and clue deciphering Smile
