Survivor 

Almost every text book will have a section on natural disasters and this activity can be a fun way of discussing the students opinions and views in a natural disaster scenario. There are two different handouts included in this post. Handout A shows 24 different items which were given to survivors of the 2011 tsunami. [gview file=”https://eslkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Handout-A-Natural-Disaster.pdf”] Handout B shows the aftermath of a recent hurricane in America and shows the contents of a recommended survivors kit to be used after such a scenario [gview file=”https://eslkidsgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Handout-B-Natural-Disaster.pdf”] Activity Time:  15 – 30 mins + Materials required:  At least one photocopy of the sheets below per student or per group.
