Rationale: 
Disaster prevention education from childhood is necessary for people to live safely and securely in Japan, a disaster-prone country.
Objectives: 
Through this project, we aim to raise awareness about disaster prevention and develop human resources to build a safe and secure city.
Activities and/or practices employed: 
At the civic center, local children are invited to experience handmade games to learn about disaster prevention.
Size of academic audience: 
Approximately 30 people participated in this project. It has also been used by approximately 3,000 learners.

Lessons learned: 
The success was not due to the fear factor, but to the fact that the children were interested in disaster prevention by teaching them important things through play.
Key messages: 
It helped me understand the importance of entertainment in education.
