Surprisingly there was no grumbling about participating in Earth Hour at my house. The kids embraced it and totally benefited! It was more like "Earth a Few Hours" really...as it got darker, I did not turn on any lights, there was the glow of the TV for a bit, but other than that we eased into it.
We began the official Earth Hour with the warm glow of candles, and we roasted marshmallows to make s'mores over a Sterno burner. The kids LOVED that. Then we began Game Night by candle light. The night was full of laughter, there was a great aura of cooperation, and honestly it was the most fun and laughter we've had in awhile! We were having so much fun the lights didn't go back on at 9:30, but we made it until 10pm.
I hope you got a chance to try it too!
