Discussion Questions:
Why does the neighborhood go outside and play together when the power goes out?
When the power comes back on, why does the kid turn off the lights again?
Do devices ever get in the way of playing together? If so, what can we do about it?
On a hot, noisy night in the city, a kid wants to play a board game with his family, but they're too busy. Then the power goes out, and the neighborhood comes alive with fun, communal activities. When the power is restored, everyone goes back to their business, so the kid turns the lights off and the family comes together to play the board game.
