Safety information posters can be very important and helpful during extreme weather. Can the children design a poster alerting people to the dangers of tornadoes, and tell them what they need to do to stay safe?
The skies are orange and black with a threatening thunderstorm - and a more threatening tornado. Print and display or put up on the whiteboard for discussion with the kids.
This amazing photo shows a tornado forming far out on the horizon, placed equidistant between two ships. It's a sight you wouldn't see often, and is sure to get the kids talking!
This worksheet really gets the kids thinking about what it would be like to experience a hurricane. Can they imagine a tornado has hit where they live and write an account of the event in the diary?
