Hey guys.
My wife and I are considering having a "survival day". We want to simulate an emergency and we, as a family, have to survive with what we have. I would like to make it a weekend, however, baby steps.
My idea is to explain to the kids what is going to take place, but it can take place without notice. We will have to come together as a family to figure out what to do until the power and water comes back on. (24 hours) We will prepare ourselves for more days with the idea that we do not know when it comes back on.
It will be mostly indoors, except for gathering wood to stay warm.
I am coming to you guys for help with ideas of exercises we can conduct throughout the day. What we can do to prep.
I know I am going to get a hard time from the older kids, but I think itâs important, educational, and empowering to know how to react.
Throw some ideas and please keep it semi serious with a little bit of fun.
