You're stuck in a Refugee center
what do you do?
We're seeing that the Japanese are going a little nuts -stuck indoors, kids running riot, now their DS batteries have died.... adults with nothing to do but try to keep warm and not think about food. Much as I hate kids, I think I'd be organizing them in academic and physical activities. That's what i tend to do when stuck with noisy bored kids. but I'd be hoping for a beer reward.....

I would gtfo. Go scavenge supplies, help find stranded people, etc. Screw sitting on my duff in some crowded, damp, smelly, rotten, disease spreading refugee shelter like the superdome.

You are stuck in a refugee center. There are children here.
Look <You are in a large open room. There are many children here.> Take ball <I see no ball here> Take skates <I see no skates here> Organize children <The children are now organized by name and size>

I have little doubt that they'd have already kicked us out of the refugee center. I'd pick an empty house that had recently floated several miles inland, and claim squatter's rights.

Soccer. No ball? Find something round. Can't find something round? Make something round.

Relief agencies do that with boxes, but I don't know how widespread it is.

A screwed up bit of paper will do the job just as well. They could play golf with anything resembling a stick and an approximately round thing serving as a ball...not enough room for that though in all likelihood.

Play hide and seek. I'm it. Take a nap.

Scavenger hunt. It would be an appropriate game for the circumstances, too.

Grant, I'm shocked at how insensitive that comment was. I thought you gay guys were more sensitive than that.

always pack a deck of cards in your bugout bag.
... I don't think I remember any card games. Except Go Fish.

As Heinlein, among others, have pointed out, a deck of cards is an important survival tool.
When lost, deal out a hand of solitaire. Someone is bound to show up and inform you that you could play the 10 of hearts on the jack of spades.
