Sample Activities:

 

·        SAFE USE OF MEDICINE - Students create puppet shows demonstrating the proper use of medications. Divide the class into small groups, and assign each group a situation. After allowing time for practice, each group presents their puppet show. Allow time for comments and discussion after each show, reinforcing medication safety rules. After class discussion, students return to their original groups to create a poster illustrating the safe administration of medicines. Each group writes a slogan or poem to accompany the poster. Ideas for the scenarios might include the following:
-        A parent administering medicine to a child
-        The school nurse administering medicines to several children
-        A family child-proofing its home

      -        A parent and child looking for warning labels and universal warning symbols
-        A child trying to share medicine with another child
