I was recently speaking with a young lady who said, because they lost their power during a storm, her and her husband decided they'd better get games and coloring books for their kids. They realized they were terribly bored during the black-out and needed to have something to do next time.

Obviously, if the power went out and it was daytime and the rain stopped, they probably could've found something to do outdoors. But it was evening. No TV. No computer. No lights to read by. I Googled "things to do when there's no electricity" and found a list which I revised somewhat. Maybe you can add to it...
