I was reminded this morning how important play is not only for children, but for adults and families. That is why I started this thread: for fun. Suggestions on what to do when the power is out. Things to enjoy and help keep children safely occupied. Here are some ideas to get it started.
1) Books for reading, prayer, coloring, song books, books of children?s party games and puzzle books. Remember age appropriate prizes for the children to look forward to.
2) Popcorn ? not the pre-buttered, doused with salt stale stuff you get pre-popped from stores. The unpopped popcorn that comes in the kernel. You will need a stove top, popcorn popper (I suggest stainless steel not aluminum), popcorn, salt and cooking oil. Powdered butter for those who must have it. Don?t let kids make it without adult supervision.
3) Board games and cards.
4) Hand or sock puppets.
