[quote=Anonymous]Although I don't know that I agree such drills are necessary, I think if you are going to do it presenting it as a game is a terrible idea. Kids who know how to sit and wait quietly in a classroom can also learn to be quiet in a hiding spot without being overly traumatized. Calling it a game just confuses what kind of behavior is expected. I would call it a "safety practice" or something like that. At our kid's school the safe spaces for shooters and weather were the same (interior closets with doors shut) so the reasons for it were vague and the kids all seemed fine with that.[/quote]
