So I have been playing a new game. Basically the premise is...pick a plausible scenario for an area that you are in (preferably when you aren't doing anything and you are bored an your mind is free to drift). I am in a hospital right now so I was thinking "active shooter."
Basically the object is to come up with a decisive course of action that could keep you (those around you) alive. Then you weigh the merits. Find better courses of action. My plan (since I am disarmed in a hospital) involved grabbing a chair and a fire extinguisher and using a bathroom to hide the children in, and keeping a chair on the main door of the room.
The other portion of this scenario involves a partner. Observe someone or something while you are with that person. Something close to insignificant. Shirt color of someone near bye. Facial hair. Balding? What object were they using. Wait a while (15 minutes or more). Then ask the other about it.
These 2 games are fun and competitive. They also help you learn observance and situational awareness. I recommend them.
