We have already practiced this.  Left the electricity off all day.  My stove is propane, so all I have to do is light it.  I have a rather large stash of lanterns and oil for burning in them.  If we get caught low on propane, I have small (and larger 5 gallon) propane containers to fire up the propane stove, and heaters if its cold out.  My biggest issue is we need to set up some solar or wind power for the well pump, and it would be nice to power the freezers, too.  We are working towards this goal.  As for non-electric entertainment, we have a nice supply of puzzles, books, cards, and puzzle books, if we are not too tired from regular farm chores!
