1) Play hide and go seek in the dark. Give "It" a flashlight, turn off all the lights in the house, send everyone else off to hide. "It" looks for everyone who is hiding in the dark with the flashlight.
2) Light a candle or use a battery operated candle. Place a blanket on the floor and read stories.
3) Light a fire in the fireplace and cook hot dogs over the coals.
4) Treasure hunt for a bag of M&Ms. Hide clues all over the house.
5) Read some of Little House in the Big Woods in front of the fireplace.
6) By candle light, tell the kids about when they were littler or when you were little.
7) Turn off all the lights, shine a flashlight or light and make pictures on the wall or silhouettes with your hands.
8) Tape paper to the wall, shine a light on the side of some one's face and draw the silhouette on the paper.
9) Use the flashlights like a light saber and have a light saber battle - You're out if you touch anyone.
10) Do Lehi's dream with the rope tied to evenly spaced chairs for an iron rod, darkness for the mists of darkness, and pan of water, and a treat near the tree of life. Have a light near the tree.

i love most of these games! what a great reminder of some fun activities!
Great ideas. It's get darker even ealier here at 4:30pm. The kids would love some of these things.
We sure had fun when we were little, didn't we? :) I'm glad my mother is an inspirational genius.
