Fun Things to Do When the Power's Out!
A power outage can be a bummer, but it's also a chance to get creative and connect with people in new ways. Here are some ideas to make the most of it:
- Game Night (By Candlelight!) Dust off the board games! Things like card games, Scrabble, or simple dice games need no electricity. The atmosphere of candlelight will add an element of adventure to family fun.
- Storytelling: Gather everyone together and share stories. This can be spooky stories, funny anecdotes, or even just making up a collaborative tale. It's a great way to get imaginations flowing.
- Stargazing: If it's a clear night, take advantage of the darkness and go outside to observe the stars. You can even download a stargazing app beforehand (while you still have power/internet) to help identify constellations.
- Read a Book: Curl up with a good book (or e-reader, if the battery is charged).
- Write: Writing is a perfect hobby when there's no power to rely on. The outage can be an opportunity to write a poem, begin a short%20story or just reflect in a journal.
- Learn something new: Learn something new about the area you live in, for example you could read a book about this subject if you have any.
Important Considerations:
- Safety First: Make sure to use flashlights or battery-powered lanterns instead of candles if you have them. Never leave candles unattended.
- Conserve Phone Battery: Avoid using your phone for entertainment unless absolutely necessary, as you might need it for emergencies.
- Check on Neighbors: Especially if you have elderly or disabled neighbors, make sure they are okay.
