I'm not sure how well it would work for an in-home dc, but the center my children attend has great summertime activities that keep my kids so busy, they're ready for bed by the time I pick them up. They go on a lot of field trips (extra charge for the parents, of course), like the movies/parks/museums/swimming/etc... They also arrange activities such as renting a big bouncer for the day (also extra $$ for the parents) and have had a slip n slide/sprinkler day. You could also have a day where you ask each of them to bring in water toys (balloons and squirters) and take them outside to go at it. Summer activities, I know...

On snow days or inservice days during the fall and winter, you could have them outside collecting leaves and make an art project out of them, building snow men/forts, or give them an assignment inside to come up with a play they could put on for the little ones. Help them make sock puppets and give a puppet show... just some ideas
