How do I Make a Tornado Game?

A tornado game is an ideal activity for a weather-themed party or themed day at school. The game can entertain and engage the children as well as serving as an educational tool. A tornado is a complex and integral part of weather patterns all over the world. The game, while enjoyable, can also educate the children on kinetic energy and potential energy used to form the funnel.
