A

　　There are many fun， free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time set aside for fun. And the best part is that these are the kind of memories a child will remember for a lifetime.

　　Family game night

　　Find out any of the games that are already around the house. Kids often get computer games for Christmas or birthdays， and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or， make up some games of your own. “Charades” is a fun game to play that will challenge a child to use his/her imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up withwords that the other has to act out.

　　________________________

　　Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own masterpiece. It doesn‘t need to be just a drawing -- take some old magazines sitting around the house， let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own montage. Or， use items from nature. Let them use leaves， pine cones（松果）， twigs and whatever else they can find to create something from their imaginations.

　　Family Picnic

　　Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn‘t cost any money. If the weather is nice， take them to a park or playground and let the kids have a day of playing. Or， if it is the middle of winter and a foot of snow is on the ground， set up a picnic in the living room.

　　Family Field Trip

　　A family field trip doesn‘t have to cost a dime. Ask a nearby farm if it would be alright to bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park and make a scavenger hunt(寻物游戏) where they need to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work -- you might be surprised at the number of people who would be thrilled to share what they do with others， and it could be an interesting lesson for the kids.

　　My grandfather lived only half a mile away from where I grew up in New York. Every day， he would walk down to our house and bring my dad newspapers. Along with the papers he would bring a small bag of treats (美食) for my two brothers and me.

　　Western New York had terrible winter weather: rain， sleet (雨夹雪)， or even 3 feet of snow. Even when he was 81， he still walked the half mile every single day. As a child， I looked forward to the daily treats， but now I’m older and I realize he braved the rough weather each day just to see us smile; I now value that more than anything else.

　　My grandfather touched many lives. A woman who had been in hospital for five years told me her story. She said my grandfather would visit her twice a week at her home: to read to her， play bridge， or just chat. It lasted for years without stop. She had few visitors. Even a hitch-hiker who my grandfather had picked up for free told me of my grandfather’s influence on his life. My grandfather took the traveler to his home. After learning that the man was homeless， my grandfather gave him a place to stay. The man told me that no one had ever been so nice to him. He later found a job in a supermarket.

　　I was touched， but not surprised to know all of the touching stories from which I understood my grandfather’s selflessness. I have since tried to learn from him to help others. Although he died years ago， we still respect him.
