What would you take?

It's the middle of the night and you get woken up suddenly by the sound of gunfire. War has broken out in your country. Everybody wakes up. You look out of the window and see your neighbours running with a few belongings; the soldiers are coming closer with guns. You need to leave your house as soon as possible as you are in danger. There is no-one to protect you and your family.

Work with your partner. You have 2 minutes to discuss what you would take with you, but keep in mind that you may have a long journey on foot ahead of you!
