Julie - use this opportunity to play verbal type games. You could also use your laptop (I am assuming that is what you are using right now as you don't have electricity) and take a cyber vacation with them. Search some foreign country, look at the pictures, and play an imagination game of what it would be like to be there and what would they do. Or, look at paintings on the internet and have the kids talk about what they are seeing; colors, interpretations, designs, etc. Have fun with it. As I am sure you know, bored kids mean trouble. LOL
