Imitate gestures

Whoever guesses fastest wins and the rest of the team has to follow the winner's request. This game is suitable for children (from 3 years old) who have a certain observation and cognition. If the house has a power outage at night, the members can mimic their voice, and if the power goes out during the day, it will be mimicking .

Storytelling repertoire

A familiar image in the moments when the electric light is away is that the little ones gather with their parents to open their innocent eyes and listen attentively to their favorite fairy tales or myths. If you often tell stories about your children before going to bed, take the chance that the power goes out and give your children more interesting stories. In addition, you can also encourage your child to practice acting as a storyteller and tell you whatever story he remembers. It could be a play activity at school or a child's troubles. No matter what it is, the seamless self-telling helps perfect the child's verbal and communication skills.

Jigsaw puzzles together

Nothing attracts concentration and enhances teamwork like the whole family playing jigsaw puzzles. You can self-transplant much faster than your baby, but step back to act as a consultant to find the right pieces and encourage him to gradually conquer each piece. In addition to the effect of relaxing and relaxing together during power outages, this is also a game that stimulates the child's brain development, diligence as well as meticulousness.

Every piece of the puzzle found out is also the perfect family happiness.

Show your talent

Everyone will choose a common theme and assign members to draw according to that common theme, provided that each person will draw their own part secretly. For example, the general theme chosen was Camping, where Dad could be assigned to paint the scene of Mom barbecue; Mom painted how dad set up the tent, and the children painted the moment to collect firewood. Finished, the whole family put together into a picture and the laughter will resound with joy when one member draws another member in a funny and humorous way.

Treasure hunt

Everyone will nominate a list of items to look for. These items should be within safe range and do not require climbing efforts to find such as wooden spoons, plastic cups, face towels, keys, hug pillows,…. Once the list has been agreed, each member will be given access to a flashlight and the hunt for family treasure begins.

Above are just a few small suggestions for household activities when the house is out of power. With your creativity and, more importantly, the love for your children, you can come up with more diverse and interesting games.
