What can a group of green, blue, and red monsters teach youth about emergency preparedness?
More than you might think.
The American Red Cross and Disney
recently developed the Monster Guard
mobile app using the latest research on emergency preparedness. Geared toward
children between the ages of 7 and 11, the Monster Guard app teaches kids how
to prepare for and react to potential emergency situations in a fun and
engaging way.
Users can play as one of five monster characters and complete up to 15 training sessions including levels like the “Fire Escape Episode” or the “Flood Episode.”
The Red Cross and Disney
encourage players to share the game with their friends and discuss what they
learned with adults.
Happy gaming!
