If the weather is in your lesson plans for this week, I have four tornado videos for kids that you might want to use.
These videos explain how tornadoes form, where they’re found, how fast they are, where to go if one approaches, how they end, and other topics. The first two can be shown to younger children and up. The second two are best suited for older children because they go more in depth.
