  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 agree with every else. The school should have some kind of code word or procedure they have in place for a bomb threat that seems odd they didn't. As for what you should do, I would tell the students this is just like a fire drill only a little bigger. I would calm them down by telling them the reason we are going to the high school is to be sure we are safe, not to put us in more danger. I would probably play a game of "I spy" with my students to calm them down. When people are in a state of panic their minds are not working properly and I think this game will give the students the chance to calm down. I would treat the rest of the two hours as a review session, asking students to spell out their spelling words, giving them math facts to practice, and review what we are doing in writing. Keeping the students busy is the best solution to keeping them calm.
