  Case: Extreme Scenarios
I was in a school where there was a bomb threat and the students were chaotic and upset. At first the teachers thought it was a fire drill and had no idea it was a bomb threat until we were evacuated to the high school across the street to sit in the football stands. What could I have done to help the students not to worry and not be so upset? What could have we done in the football stand to help pass the time until we got the all clear since we were in the stands for about two hours?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think your school should have a specific code such as "Code Sunshine" if something were to happen of that nature. The teachers need to know exactly what is going on and the procedure to follow to ensure the safety of everyone. To help pass time, the teachers could have seperated the students into their classes and conducted SOME type of educational activity. Whether it be fact sheets, work sheets, played an education activity, or even getting to know your students better by engaging in conversation. Something should have been done so the students' time was not wasted.

Comments: I feel as though the use of fact sheets or work sheets would not be feasible for students to complete or even attempt to do outdoors sitting on bleachers in a football field and due to the sudden urgency to leave the room, I don't think this approach would have been suitable for the teacher to execute when the children's safety was in question.
