Waiting long hours in an emergency shelter is boring, so buy 72-Hour kit emergency shelter activities for our fourth August prep challenge. We hope we’ll never end up in an emergency shelter, but more people have experienced evacuations than we think. Add shelter activities to your 72-hour kit especially for children.
Buy Emergency Shelter Activities
Thankfully, some of these items are already around your home or at a dollar store.
- Notepad and Pen – A small notepad and pen is my top choice because you can write down your feelings, doodle, or play games with your kids.
- Word Games – Crossword puzzles, word search activities, or Sudoku. Or print your own games online.
- Coloring Book & Markers – If you like to color, get one of these to pass the time.
- Paperback book – Readers will want something to read.
- Motivational Talk – Copy one of your favorite motivational talks from a church magazine.
- Playing Cards – Find an inexpensive deck of cards or Uno.
- Small Toys – Choose a few small lightweight toys to entertain your child such as a Rubik’s cube, a mini stuffed animal, a small doll, or a few Matchbox cars.
I encourage you to gather emergency shelter activities for your family this week.
“Stock up your way!”
