Urban Survival Secrets

Playing emergency games with the kids

The other day, I made up a game called “What would you do if…?”  My daughter and I played for a bit and we came up with different scenarios for accidents and other gruesome things.  What was interesting was the fact that she had some other thoughts that I would not have come up with at her ripe age of 8!!! How cool that she was thinking of things in case of disaster.  Her brothers came in shortly after we stared playing the game and it was interesting.  I did get some teaching moments in there.  We discussed our disaster kits, emergency planning, disasters, how we would survive in the event of a calamity and more.

Try it out with your family.  I’ll bet you will come up with situations that you may or may not be ready for!
