How To Make a "Lights Out" Box
This is a great box of easy and fun activities to have on
hand when
your electricity goes out.
This will help the children from being scared and being
bored.
You can use anything you have on hand for the container. It
might be
a shoe box, plastic container, coffee can, etc.
You can decorate it or let the kids decorate it.
Find things to put
in it that will be easy but also keep the
kids occupied.
Here are some ideas:
Crayons
Markers
Books
Coloring Books
Have
them make a list of things they can't do without
electricity.
Make up a story - each person makes up a sentence and
then
the next person adds to it and on down the line.
Have each child a flashlight or mini lantern.
Some snacks
that will last awhile.
Small battery powered radio (Don't forget the batteries)
Travel type Mini Games ( Bingo, checkers,etc)
You might want to keep this close to where you keep the
power outage
supplies such as candles, flashlights,etc.
Only use the "Lights Out" box when you are having a power
outage. It makes
it more fun.When the lights are back on you
can put at least one different item in for the next power
outage.
Add
items that your own family will enjoy and have fun!
