SURVIVAL

IF YOU'RE LOST! 2nd graders have been learning what to do if they should ever find themselves lost while hiking or playing in the forest.
There are a few simple rules that will greatly improve their staying alive for at least 72 hrs.
1. Tell an adult where you or you and you friends are going and how long you will be gone.
2. Take a look at the weather and take the right clothes.
3. Take the 2 most important pieces of survival equipment you can have... a large plastic garbage sack and most important of all   your brain!
2. Stay with your friends or group NEVER wander off alone!
3.If you think you may be lost STOP where you are look around for close by tree, stump, log even a large rock. That is going to be your home till someone finds you.
4. Go sit down next to the tree etc and think about what you have that well help you stay warm and dry.. that's where the garbage sack comes in. Take it out of your pocket/pack and open it up, find the bottom, with your finger or stick poke a hole in the center of the bag and a little ways down from the bottom.
5. Stretch the hole just big enough for your face to poke through, sit down by your best buddy the tree etc. pull the bag over your knees and down to your feet  cuddle up inside and you'll be warm in no time.
6. If you hear someone searching stand up take the bag off wave scream, holler to let them see you.
