These contraptions haven't existed until recent times and people found plenty to do in the past without lights, TV and computers. So here are some suggestions to get the entertainment going in the dark. Just get some candles and flashlights first! Of course, it'll be a little hard to read this at the time, so read it now while you can and ferret away the information for the power-loss times.
Steps
- Play cards. Get your family around a table and play card games like Go fish, War, Bridge and many other games!
