LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Tell the group of students to stand in a clump in the center of the room/area.

  2. Explain the rules:

    • --> If there is a flood, you must get in a “boat” with the specified number of people and pretend to row.

    • --> If there is a hurricane, you must cross your arms and link hands with the specified number of people.

    • --> If there is a wildfire, you must run to the opposite side of the room than the fire is coming from (opposite of where the facilitator points to).

    • --> If there is a heatwave, you must crouch to the ground with your hands covering your head.

  3. The last person to complete these tasks or the people that are unable to complete the task (do not fit in a group) get out and stand off to one side of the room, out of the way of the players still in.

  4. Each round, pick a new number and/or task. As people get out, the total group gets smaller.

  5. Keep playing until there is 1 person left - they are the survivor!

  1. What did you learn from playing this game?
