What can blind people do for entertainment?

My sister is blind and she spends most of her free time with friends or reading books. She's learning to play piano and the harp but I don't think she's doing that for fun. Sometimes we watch a film together but with descriptive-audio. I was wondering if there's anything else she can do. (She's not very sporty.) A simple list of activities will be fine, try to include ones that we can do together.

(Please don't say "blind-man's bluff")

Not really sure about the category, but I trust the wisdom of the P&S category.

    There are many activities to pursue that focus on senses other than sight. Music, for example, can be both appreciated and created. News programs and radio plays can also be listened to, and movies and television also have audio elements that can be enjoyed apart from the visuals. Tactile arts and crafts, such as sculpture and knitting, can also be done without the use of the eyes, and many games, such as 20 Questions, can be played entirely with speaking and listening. Although different skills are required for those who are blind to cook, cooking emphasizes texture, smell and taste. Gardening is also rich with sensations. The blind can do activities that focus on the movement of their bodies too, such exercising, walking and hiking, swimming or martial arts. Practice imagining physical space can give blind people an advantage in crafting intricate models or building mechanical and electrical devices.
