Hmmm ... we don't have a community built yet, but here are some of the
things I've been involved in in other settings.  These tend to be
activity-based:

  *  Song circles for all ages
  *  Making ice cream (you'd be amazed at how hard a bunch of 5-year-olds
        can work!)
  *  Folk dancing, especially group-oriented dances such as contras and
        traditional squares
  *  Workshop and craft projects where more experienced participants
        guide the less experienced
  *  Gardening together
  *  All-ages "play" events - board games, outdoor games, etc.
