Activity 1 (Immediate Safety Drill)

Data

Setup

Prepare 8 to 12 scenario cards in advance, or read them aloud directly if needed.

Use these plug-and-play examples:

• Fire alarm in the building
• A teammate is missing after group movement
• Heavy rain starts during outdoor activity
• Someone gets a minor cut or scrape
• The lights go out during an activity
• The group is separated from the leader
• A bag or personal item is left behind
• Someone feels dizzy or tired
• The route becomes unfamiliar
• A loud sound causes confusion and panic

How to Play

1. Split shabab into teams.
2. Read one scenario card at a time.
3. Teams must decide the first 3 safe actions within 60 seconds.
4. Each team shares its plan.
5. Murabbi scores clarity, calmness, and teamwork.
6. If time allows, ask one team to explain what not to do in that situation.

Murabbi Notes

Keep the discussion practical and age-appropriate. Emphasize calling for adult help, staying calm, moving to a safe place, and checking on others without panic.

Sample Answers for Murabbi

• Fire alarm in the building: stop activity, line up, move to exit calmly, follow the adult leader, do not grab belongings unless told.
• A teammate is missing after group movement: stop the group, inform the murabbi, count the shabab, stay together, do not split up.
• Heavy rain starts during outdoor activity: move to shelter, protect equipment, keep the group together, wait for instructions.
• Someone gets a minor cut or scrape: inform the murabbi, wash if possible, use first aid, avoid crowding the injured person.
• The lights go out during an activity: stay still for a moment, call the murabbi, avoid running, gather the group safely.
• The group is separated from the leader: stop moving, stay in a visible place, call the leader, wait with the group.

Activity 2 (Emergency Kit Sort)

Data

Setup

Place mixed items on a table. Include a few obvious emergency items and a few distractors so the sorting is meaningful.

Use these examples:

• Water bottle
• Small torch
• Bandage
• Whistle
• Snack bar or dates
• Notebook and pen
• Scarf or cloth
• Phone charger cable
• Toy item
• Empty plastic bottle

How to Play

1. Teams sort items into essential, helpful, and not needed.
2. Each team explains why.
3. Award points for correct choices and reasoning.

Sample Sorting Guide

• Essential: water bottle, torch, bandage, whistle
• Helpful: snack bar, notebook and pen, scarf or cloth
• Not needed: toy item, charger cable, empty plastic bottle

Discussion and Reflection

Ask: What matters most in the first minute of an emergency? How does planning reduce fear?

Murabbi Notes

Focus on wise preparation, not panic. Keep the examples simple and realistic.
