If you like to do other stuffs besides making your own paper lantern, here are some activities that may interest you and your family.
- Dinner in the dark – How cool it is to dine in the dark! You can also turn it into a candlelit dinner and make it more fun than your regular family meal. Prepare something delicious with your significant other or children and enjoy eating with the lights off (candles on) and make amazing memories together.
- Story time in the dark – Build a pillow fortress and take turns reading or make up stories to pass time. Add in shadow puppet play to make your stories come to life – kids will definitely love it!
- Play hide-and-seek in the dark – Playing hide-and-seek in the dark can be challenging yet more exciting now that you can make use of the darkness to totally hide yourselves and blend into your surroundings. Don’t forget to give your little explorers a torch so they can still see and stay safe while finding places in the dark.
- Movie night – Might as well turn your living room into a cinema since you’re already in the dark, and tune into movies or documentaries that you’ve been always wanting to do. Get ready some popcorns or snacks with you for the full cinema experience at home.
No matter what we choose to do at the end of the day, even just as simple as switching off lights, we would’ve made a little milestone once again as millions of us band together in the cause that we’re passionate about and hopefully be able to inspire all of us to practice this power saving habit more regularly in our daily lives. So, give our planet some love this Earth Hour by going “lights off”!
