Students work to escape the natural disaster. The coach (or winning student) calls out the different natural disasters. Students run in a circle and when they hear the natural disaster they perform the safety action. You can use whatever natural disasters you would like, and can change the amount of disasters you use depending on your groups age. Here are some suggestions:

Fire: stop drop and roll

Hurricane/ Flood: get on top of a mat

Tornado: get under a mat

Earthquake: lay on the ground and shake

Apocalypse: lay motionless like a cockroach

You can play an infinity round where no one gets out (best for younger kids) or play elimination and the last one to get there or who doesn't perform the right action gets caught in the natural disaster, gets rescued and becomes a life guard "rescuing" those who also did not escape.

‍

Themed Game Names:

Use Disasters such as:

Solar Flares: stop Drop and roll

Meteor Shower: under a mat

Black hole: hold on to a mat
