Paper Mache- get an old shower curtain or plastic table cloth out and mix up a batch of good, old fashioned flour and water soup to dip strips of newspaper & recycling! See if you can make animals… it might turn out more like cloud shapes if you don’t have balloons to work with. Use what you have! Tissue boxes, tubes, balled up paper, etc!

Get creative- get the largest piece of paper in the house or tape a few together and draw a family portrait. You can be silly and draw each family member as an aquatic creature in a big aquarium (Think Finding Nemo) or have each person as an animal on a farm.
-Everyone get a sheet of paper and draw the family on vacation… keep the suggestions for the next few family trips!
-If you really need to turn on the tube, then get out some family video footage starting with wedding or baby flics!
-Sit around a table and take turns adding one paragraph per person to a story. Have one scribe copy every word (don't change anything!)… you can even make it into a play and all or some can act it out and create a new family rainy day flic!

Rainy Day Blessings (artwork from above)
With every raindrop, a Blessing is planted to put into Action!
The activity is to imagine that every single raindrop is so very important & unique with no two exactly the same shape or size.
Every single raindrop carries a Blessing or Happ...y Thought. They are like Angels & Affirmations. When they land, they plant their Blessings along with a supply of Love and Water, necessities. Each Blessing becomes an Action. For example... Make a Wish and see what happens! In this artwork the Blessing is a Wish for Health, Happiness and Wisdom. The Raindrops travel to the Earth, House and Water to bring Family Adventure, Reading and Exploration. This activity is suitable for enhancing lessons for all ages and abilities regarding grammar & noun/verb, colors, shapes, drawing, spelling, cause & effect, etc mixed in...
What do you do to prepare for severe weather?
Water, batteries, weather radio, meds, pet food,
make sure everything is charged;
Great reason to get the house in shape...
clean all sinks and bathrooms really well fill tubs with water ...
get all laundry washed and put away move anything that could become windblown inside

Ever wondered how tornadoes form o...r how the Hurricane Hunters fly into the eye of the storm? Do you think kids have pondered these questions, too?! Well, The Weather Classroom helps you guide your students on their quests for these answers. Following their lines of inquiry and their curiosity usually leads to more questions! Severe weather affects every part of the world all year long, and the goal of our program is to teach people how to prepare for severe weather such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, lightning, extreme heat, and severe winter weather. The Weather Channel staff of expert meteorologists and educators have worked together to develop this collection of weather safety and preparedness materials.
Play some games indoors and create a fun environment where you expect loud noises and unexpected sounds...
understand what's happening to ease fears and when appropriate try to add some
educational entertainment and fun games to pass the time & prepare.
