For a great indoor activity, make your kids an indoor hopscotch mat. Use a piece of linoleum, (your own left-over, or pieces can be purchased at building supply stores) if possible, use a piece that contains squares. Using a permanent marker and a yardstick, draw out the hopscotch squares. Bound the edges with duct tape to prevent rips or tears. The mat can be easily rolled up when not in use, and can provide a little indoor exercise on a rainy day.
