| Learning about Natural Disasters - Games and projects for you and your friends (IDNDR-DIRDN) |
The game on the next two pages is about how to protect yourself from natural disasters. If you look at the middle square on the game board, you will find a 10-year old girl called Natalie sitting under a table. What is she doing? Why is she under the table?
