1. Do some skipping
2. Get a DVD/VCD for a home workout
3. Clean the house
4. Run after kids (if you have that is)
5. Jump up and down.

Dance with yourself! Get a pilates DVD. Get an exercise ball (the big ones).

If you have stair, go up and down the stairs for 5 minutes at the beginning of every hour.

Find things to clean
do some gardening
jump rope is awesome for burning cals
crank up some music and dance like crazy since no one is around, if you have kids dance with them
stairs are excellent

Cleaning House!

Scrubbing would probably be the best way to burn the most calories right? All the motion! Looks like everything is getting a scrub down today!

Calisthenics/Circuit training

10-15 each of:
Crunches
Push-ups
Squats
Kicks (front, back)
Lunges
Bicep curls w/canned food if you don't have dumbbells
Shoulder presses (w/cans or dumbbells)
Tricep dips off the edge of your coffee table or couch
Bridge/plank (for core/abs) holding for 30 secs

Give it a cardio kick by jogging in place, fake jumping rope, or jumping jacks for 30-60 seconds between each exercise.

The link below sends you to some really good home workouts.
