Category: Life Skills · Duration: ~5 min

1. Explain: "Sometimes the ground shakes — that's called an earthquake. We have a plan!" 2. Show the three steps: DROP to the ground, get COVER under a table, HOLD on to the table leg. 3. Practice together. Make it a game: yell "Earthquake!" and everyone drops, covers, and holds. 4. Count to 60 together while under the table — that's about how long to stay put. 5. Talk about what to do after: stay calm, wait for a grown-up, go to your meeting spot.
