Prepare kids for emergencies with Monster Guard
The motto here is Learn, practice, share how to stay safe during emergency
The American Red Cross, with the sponsorship of Disney, present Monster Guard, a free mobile app available at the App Store and Google Play.
Beyond the necessary, and sometimes confusing disaster drills that all students are required to experience at school, this fun, game-based app can help kids, ages 7 through 11, prepare for real-life emergencies.

Monster Guard presents important and engaging learning experiences that may be part of your science or social studies curricula, but are not always part of every school’s program.
Consider introducing it to parents and scout troop leaders. Use it with after school clubs. The game may also inspire writing and enhance learning about current events. Monster Guard would make a wonderful pairing with the many related disaster books you are likely to have on the shelves.
Discover more about Monster Guard at the Red Cross website.
