How to Do the Quest
- 1
Check the forecast with an adult and skip the walk for lightning, strong wind, flooding, or poor visibility.
- 2
Choose a short sidewalk route with easy places to turn back.
- 3
Notice three rainy-day systems: where water goes, what sounds change, and which surfaces become slippery.
- 4
Pause under a safe covered spot only if needed, without blocking entrances.
- 5
Return home, dry off, and record one observation that changed your mind about rainy weather.
Quest Challenge
Can you find three signs that a neighborhood is designed to handle rain?
Pro Tip
A short walk with the right gear is more useful than a long walk that leaves everyone cold or rushed.
Safety First
