Kid's Page

Welcome to United Cooperative Services’ Touchstone Energy Kids Zone, a cool place where you can learn about electricity, energy savings and electrical safety. Energy is part of our daily lives. Every time you watch television or turn on a light you are using electricity.

Here at the Kids Zone we have some fun games and activities that will help you learn about energy and energy efficiency. We have lots of information you can share with your family and friends.

 

Safety Rules 

  1. Always fly kites in an open area — never near power lines.

  2. Never climb trees near power lines.

  3. Keep fingers and other objects away from electrical outlets.

  4. Never go near downed power lines or substations.

  5. Keep ladders and TV antennas away from power lines.

  6. Never use radios, hair dryers or any electrical appliance near the bathtub.

  7. Stay away from electrical equipment (meters, transformers, etc.).

  8. Don’t touch anything electrical when you are wet.

  9. Stay away from the work area and the truck when linemen are working.

  10. Don’t swim or play outside on a rainy day.  Water and tall things attract lightning.
