[quote=Anonymous]I have a 10yr old and I am the leader of a Girl scout troop.  We have a no handheld electronic ban during meetings and playdates.  We also have a massive backyard with swing set, trampoline, and ping pong under the deck.  Basketball net in driveway.  We have had countless sleepovers.  I am fine with some TV at night and even cooperative video games like Just Dance, Wii Sports Resort, etc...  But the phones and tablets are checked at the door in a bowl.

Other things the girls do:

Riding bikes around the neighborhood. If they are near parks they can try to geocaching or letter boxing.  My oldest loves to set up letterboxes.

Set up a scavenger hunt, put on dance contests, etc..  I taught them how to play Fox and the Hound and Kick the Can and they all love that.  Oh, Baby in the Air too.  Last summer we had massive gatherings of Capture the Flag at night.

Adult coloring books and gel pens, spirograph, fashion plates, friendship bracelets, geodes, Legos, etc..

American Girl Dolls.  Some of my 8yr old's friends made a big diner with the old play food.  That was really cute.

Of course baking too but that sometimes involves me and I like to be hands off as much as possible.
