Fun point
Recite the poem below.
Floods, floods, floods,
You cover the land with waters,
You destroy houses,
You cause diseases like cholera,
You cause death of animals and people,
Floods, you are a destroyer.
Drought, drought, drought,
You make the land dry,
You cause crops to dry up,
You cause death of plants and animals,
You cause population decrease,
Drought, you are a destroyer.

Fun point
Recite the following poem.
When the sun is too hot,
I remove my sweater to reduce heat,
I swim to cool off my body,
I put on light clothes to reduce sweating,
I stay in the house to avoid sunburns,
I sit in a shade to avoid direct heat.
When it rains,
I put on heavy clothes to keep warm,
I stay in the house to be safe,
I wear boots to avoid mud,
I stay away from flooded areas,
I cover myself with an umbrella to avoid getting wet.
