Instructions

Before you begin
- Cut the item images along the lines, so each image is a separate card.
- Set up each scenario as a separate station, by putting the item cards (or real items) on the table alongside the scenario image.

The game
1. Split into small groups. You could prepare multiple versions of this activity, or run it alongside something else, as long as everyone does this activity.

2. Each group should start at the first station (the heavy rain scenario). The group should discuss the questions, and choose the three item cards (or three items) that would be most helpful.

3. Each group should move to the second station (the flooding scenario). They should discuss the questions, and choose three item cards (or three items) to represent the three things they would take with them. Remember: you need to take the things you need to survive. You might not be able to take your favourite things as well.

4. Each group should move to the third station (the emergency accommodation scenario). They should think about the questions, and choose three item cards (or three items) to represent the three things they miss the most.

5. Each group should look at their nine items, and reflect on their journey. They should choose the five most important of their items, and write them down or draw them.

6. Everyone should come together and think about the journeys they made. Why did they choose the items they did at each stage? Were different items important at different times? Which items were essential for survival? Was it difficult to leave some items behind?
