Our family chooses to set aside one day per week for rest (more on that here). My 9 year old informed me that she is getting bored on Sabbath, so we sat down together and made a list of things she thinks would be fun AND appropriate to do on Sabbath. Here's the list:
Read missionary stories
Read or listen to the Bible
Find interesting ways to help others (ideas provided here)
Reading or listening to character building stories
Hiking
Boating
Biking
Turn Christ's parables or object lessons into games
Make our own object lessons using everyday objects
Reenact Bible stories with others or puppets
Role playing
Play character building or Bible trivia games
Watch Bible-based movies (we love these)
Bake cookies for neighbors
Paint nature scenes
Volunteer in soup kitchen
Doing nature or bible crafts
Visit or talk to the elderly
3-D pictionary (make Bible scenes with play dough)
