After the first game, ask children to talk about what they would put in their emergency preparation kit. After the second game, have them discuss ways that special clothes can keep you comfortable in different kinds of weather.
Close
Ask children: What do you think is the wildest kind of weather? Explain. Summarize for children that weather is what the air is like outside. Sometimes the weather can be dangerous.
