Flooded roads can be deceivingly deep or have strong undercurrents. Teach children that having disaster buddies can come in handy in situations. Pair them off and tell them a story such as Noah's Ark when the waters rose higher and higher. Thunderstorms and lightning Lightning often accompanies thunderstorms. If a storm approaches, move children inside from playground facilities, even before it begins to rain.
Lightning can begin suddenly.
Whether on an outdoor field trip or on the playground, be aware and prepared if there is a potential for storms that day. If you can hear thunder, you are at risk of a lightning strike. Talk with children about lightning. Let them shuffle around a carpeted area until the hairs on their head or arms stand up. Have them touch one another to feel the tingle.
