Start with a clear focus: what should children do when a typhoon warning arrives?
This handwritten newspaper topic works best when it explains four practical parts: understanding warnings, preparing before the typhoon, staying safe during the storm, and checking dangers afterward. The key is not to turn it into a general weather article, but to make it easy for children to read, remember, and use.
A good main title is What Should I Do When a Typhoon Warning Arrives? A subtitle such as “Understand warning signs and learn simple safety steps” also fits well for a school poster.
Useful sections students can write directly
1. Quick facts about typhoon warnings
- A typhoon often brings strong wind, heavy rain, and flooding.
- When a warning is issued, pay attention to weather updates and family or school notices.
- Do not go outside just to watch the storm or stand near dangerous places.
2. What to prepare before a typhoon
- Close windows and doors, and bring in light items from balconies.
- Prepare a flashlight, drinking water, basic medicine, and charged devices.
- Remember family phone numbers and follow parents' instructions.
3. How to stay safe during a typhoon
- Stay indoors and keep away from glass windows.
- Do not stand under trees, near billboards, or beside utility poles.
- Do not play near rivers, construction sites, or flooded streets.
- If the power goes out, stay calm and do not touch electrical equipment carelessly.
4. What to watch for after the typhoon
- Do not walk through floodwater because it may be slippery or unsafe.
- Do not touch fallen wires or go near damaged walls and broken trees.
- Go outside only after adults confirm the area is safe.
A layout idea that looks neat and easy to read
You can divide the page into three parts. Put the title and warning symbols at the top. Use the middle area for two columns: “Before the Typhoon” and “During the Typhoon.” At the bottom, make a checklist called “After the Typhoon.” This structure is clear and student-friendly.
Blue, gray, and green work well as the main colors, with a little yellow to highlight important safety reminders. Bold only a few key words so the page stays clean and readable.
Short text materials for the poster
Safety reminder: Typhoons are serious, so check warnings early and stay prepared.
Simple slogan: Follow typhoon warnings and protect yourself well.
Short phrases: Stay indoors, avoid floodwater, keep away from glass, listen to adults.
Ending line: Weather can change quickly, but safety starts with good preparation.
Border and drawing ideas
For the border, students can draw clouds, raindrops, wind swirls, or wave lines. Small illustrations such as a raincoat, boots, flashlight, house, and warning speaker help the poster feel lively and on topic.
A useful idea is to make a comparison box showing “safe actions” and “unsafe actions,” such as staying indoors versus hiding under a tree. This makes the message much easier for children to understand.
How to keep the poster practical instead of vague
Avoid writing only general sentences like “Typhoons are dangerous.” Try action-based lines such as “close the windows,” “stay away from floodwater,” and “do not go near electric wires.” These are easier for students to remember and use.
