N/A - See attached call sheet
Instructions
The leader calls out each hazard and the girls race to perform the action. The last girl to perform each action is eliminated.
Run a few practice rounds first so that the girls get the hang of the new game.
While you are explaining which actions go with which hazard, also explain why these actions are appropriate. How should people respond to each situation?
Edited to add:
The captain is in charge of the ship and yelling out orders to the crew.
Crew members must obey all of the captain's orders.
The last crew member to finish an order is out of the game.
Keep playing until one crew member is the winner.
Some examples of the captain’s orders:
• Fire!
o Girls get down, get low, and get out (move towards a wall for example, instead of all towards one exit, crawling low and fast)
• Earthquake!
o Girls drop, cover and hold (moving quickly into a turtle position)
• Tsunami!
o Long, or Strong, Get Gone (walking with purpose to a designated tsunami safe zone in the room).
