What did you do as a kid when the electricity would go out?

I don't know (that was a long time ago), but nowadays, in cold weather, I had to a motel where there's heat.

our family would light candles

My parents always tried to make it "fun". Candles and flashlights. Pretending we were camping, but inside. If it was winter and the power would be out overnight we would all sleep in the family room in front of the fireplace. I've always been a reader so as long as I had a flashlight and a book I was pretty content.

lol i found it exciting as a kid, and we did shadow puppets, and talked stories

We used candles, kerosine lamps, flames from the propane heater, and sometimes flash lights. We would play board games or talk a lot. We didn't have much for TV during my growing up years anyway. We listened to a lot of music and entertained ourselves in other ways whether there was electricity or not. I think the biggest concern when the electric was out had been the food ruining in the fridge and freezer.

Used electricity from batteries. Gameboy and whatnot would still work.. never had power outage more than a few hours. Some people in our neighborhood also had electric generators.

I found it exciting, dad would light candles around the house and I'd start playing hide and seek or something like that with my sisters.

Sometimes as an adult I like when the electricity goes out. Gives me a good excuse to sit down with a good book and read for a bit without being distracted by tv or internet.

Get a flashlight. I had several. They were like toys to me.
