A fun thing that I did the other day was we pretended that we had been kidnapped, and set up all these notes leading our friends to this place that we had hidden. Scavenger hunts are also fun. Even just dancing around your living room to music can be fun.

Madlibs, truth or dare, board games -- find some Cheapass games if you don't have much money or any games at home. Competative storytelling (when one person pauses for five seconds or more, the next person can jump in) or create a story by having each person do a sentence in turn...

30,000? That’s a small town? Oh wait…. I’m coming from the WV idea of small towns. So…. Let’s see, since every where you go here, except maybe for Charleston and Morgantown when WVU is in session, are smaller then that. Around here there’s always the malls. Basketball seems to be pretty big. Cow tipping. Oh wait…. Sorry, had to throw that in. Bowling. Movies. Sports events. Church groups. Did I say cow tipping? Dang… not supposed to talk about that, I keep forgetting. And if you’re really looking for something there’s always some kind of community service things going on to get involved in and believe me, you won’t get bored there! Heck, just find something you all enjoy doing together and do it. Get out of the house and have fun.

Oops.. you said without spending $$. So that takes off movies and bowling really, unless you have a contact of course!

It might require spending money but if you can find a willing parent probably not. Get all your friends together, and make a bunch of desserts or cookies, or even a whole meal. Everyone getting in the act and involved is fun. Have each person responsible for a difference recipe or part of the production line. Snickerdoodles need to be rolled in balls and then coated in cinnamons sugar, peanutbutter cookies need to be smashed flat with a fork, etc, etc.

well lessee, I grew up in a town of about 30,000 and when I was a teenager... lessee.. board games... mild mischief... D&D... Watched movies on our VCR (I'm old)... Think most of these have been mentioned.
How about inventing a game? Or if one of your friends has a video camera, making a movie (My friends and I did that in HS. Even got shown on local TV a coupla times.) It's prolly even easier now if you use a digital video camera. You don't have to borrow the local public access staton's expensive editing equipment.
You could make boffer weapons and swordfight if you're feeling less creative and more agressive.
You could go to the local elementry school/park and play basketball or tennis if you're the least bit athletic.
There's a million things to do in a small town!

(edit: deleted two things that had been already mentioned. dang. I really should read suggesting threads before adding my own)

A progressive dinner can be a lot of fun for a group of young people to plan. Break up into groups and make sure that the people whose houses get volunteered don't have to do all the work, since they're hosting.

http://newswww.bbc.net.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4193723.stm 'Cowpat Roulette' Back in Germany, Sueddeutsche Zeitung reports that a complaint has been filed over possible psychological damage being inflicted on cows by a new kind of gambling which is spreading fast in the south-western state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The game is called "Cow Bingo" or "Cowpat Roulette" and all it requires is a field divided into numbered squares - and a cow - it explains. Spectators bet on their chosen numbers, the cow is led into the field, and the winner is the player who picks the square where Daisy deposits the first cowpat. But the local agriculture department is pondering whether Cow Bingo "offends the dignity of ruminants", the paper says. "At the current stage of scientific knowledge," it quotes a ministry official as saying, "there is no way of accurately determining a cow's feelings as it does its business in front of a large and possibly cheering crowd".
ummm... I'd suggest -not- doing that. Plenty of people die every year doing so. It's up there with playing chicken with a truck in my opinion...
Beg parent's for money to go do stuff
We used to play board games, video games, watch movies, cook/bake stuff, just talk/chit chat, card games (poker and eucere mainly), ummm... I think all those things have been mentioned.
We once all contributed one item from our fridge/cupboard at home that our parents let us take and tried to make something out of it to eat... that wasn't the smartest idea we ever had though Posts: 944 | Registered: Jun 2001

Create a hobby website dedicated to something you love. And then sign up as Amazon/Ebay affiliates to make some money off the website. It is fun, you learn something, you can make a little cash, and if the site is good enough you can put it on your resume.
