When the Lights Go Out

Prompt 7: Electricity is a recent invention. Think of 12 things to do when there is no power.

1. The Romantic Obvious
2. Entertain your spouse/roommate with a shadow puppet show to candlelight.
3. Play a guitar around a campfire
4. Hide and Seek
5. Marco Polo (No need for blindfolds).
6. Go for a walk. You will be able to see stars that would usually be masked by the city lights.
7. Read a play. Each of the members in your family would read aloud a different character. Shakespeare preferably.
8. Paint on a canvas with no lights. When the power comes back on, see what you created!
9. Read a scary novel.
10. Take the opportunity to take creative portraits of your household. Everyone looks better in candlelight. ;)
11. Seance. (Just kidding. Could be scary).
12. Board games, duh.
