Does everyone practice safety drills (fire,earthquake, lock down) when the kids are playing or do you do random. I've been giving this alot of thought and wondering about doing it during the following:

mealtime/snacktime
preschool time
playtime

Now does anyone do it during:

Naptime
When someone is in the restroom
Out on fieldtrips/walks


We are to practice Earthquake drills but we don't have earthquakes here so I'm not even sure how the kids will know why we are doing it! I really don't know how to get the kids to know the earth is shaking and we need to go for cover. For those though that do do them do you do them during any of the above time?

Also, if you are outside during a earthquake drill what in the world do you do?
