Yes, Because it is less likely that something will fall on you.

∙ 12y agoYou should duck and cover under a nearby desk and hold on. From there, the safest thing to do is to just ride the earthquake out. :) If you're sleeping, then you should get under the covers and protect yourself from falling objects as best as possible. If your bed is high enough from the ground, you might be able to duck under it. Hope this helps! (>.<)

∙ 13y agoIt depends on how far from the exit you are. If you are far from the exit you should stay inside. Hide under a sturdy table or doorway, something that will not give in easily. If you are close to an exit, go outside into an open empty area away from power lines or objects that can fall on you. Outside is overall the safest place because you're not under a ceiling that can collapse.

∙ 13y agoNo, because objects are more likely to fall on top of you and crush you. Perhaps, if you are under a strong stone desk, then you might be safe, but don't try to take any chances. If you are outside in a cleared area, you will be perfectly safe, and the ride will be just a little bumpy ;)

While it would depend on the age, most boys love gifts that give them something active to do, either indoors or outdoors. One great idea for outdoors is a zip line.
