Try activities without electricity

Half term holiday activities, such as watching television and playing on the computer, often involve using electricity, but why not try pursuits that don't use this resource?
Npower has launched Climate Cops No Power Hour in an effort to make kids more environmentally aware and keep them entertained for an hour every day.

The aim is that during this time they don't use any electricity. Climate Cops recently reported that over half term kids spend an extra 2.5 hours straightening and blow drying their hair and four hours more than they usually would watching TV.

"Climate Cops No Power Hour is a fantastic way to entertain kids this half term. Parents can relax knowing that for at least an hour every day the kids are active and amused," Clare McDougall, head of community and education at npower, said.

On its website, Climate Cops suggests that during an "hour without power" kids can try new activities like apple bobbing or hide and seek.
