Objective:
Help kids learn how to stay safe in different types of weather by acting out what they should do.

Materials Needed:

• Weather scenario cards – link
• A timer or stopwatch
• A hat or small box to hold the cards
• Optional: simple props like umbrellas, raincoats, flashlights, blankets, or toy radios

Setup Instructions:

1. Write weather scenarios on cards. Example: “You hear a tornado siren,” “Lightning starts during a hike,” “You see flooding on your street.”
2. Fold the cards and put them in a hat or box.
3. Clear an area for the kids to move around safely.
4. Place any props nearby for kids to use in their skits.

Game Play Instructions:

1. Divide the group into small teams (2–4 kids per team).
2. One team draws a card from the hat.
3. Give them 1–2 minutes to plan what to do. They should act out what they would do in that weather situation.
4. Set the timer for 1 minute. Let them perform their skit for the group.
5. After the skit, ask the group: “What did they do right? What could they do better?”
6. Repeat with the next team.

Notes and Variations:

• For younger kids, you can read the card out loud and help them think through what to do.
• Use it as a review game after a weather safety lesson.
• Let the audience give a thumbs-up when they see good safety behavior.
• If kids are shy, let them talk through their answers instead of acting them out.

Safety Tip:
Make sure the play area is clear of anything that could cause trips or falls. Keep it calm—no running or yelling.
