Sample Activities:

 

·        COMMUNITY RESPONSES - For this activity, create two sets of laminated index cards: one set describes a variety of emergency situations; the second set describes a number of correct and incorrect responses to the emergency situations. Divide the class into teams. Each team responds to the emergency noted on a card by matching it with the correct emergency response card. Each team explains the situation as they demonstrate the correct response.

Variation: Students investigate training opportunities for basic first aid, CPR, and emergency response management. Invite a speaker from an emergency response provider or training organization (e.g., American Red Cross, local emergency squad, hospital emergency room staff) to discuss training requirements.

Variation: Students create a chart outlining the steps in a basic first aid procedure or medical emergency. Students create a series of posters or photographs illustrating the steps.

Variation: Students create a list of simple emergencies that might occur when a student is home alone or baby-sitting. For each emergency, students find a resource for more information or a phone number that can be used in such emergencies. Students develop the information into a guide for baby-sitters or latchkey children.
