First aid teaching resources for 11 to 16 year olds

The Life. Live it. first aid education kit is the ultimate resource for teaching first aid. It contains everything you need to teach life-saving skills. No previous experience required! Watch this video about the kit or order now.

Who is it for?

The kit has been designed for schools and youth organisations working with young people aged 11-16. It is also flexible enough to be adapted for other age groups and audiences.

The kit has been specially designed so that teachers and other educators with no previous knowledge in the subject can deliver first aid education.

What is it?

The kit consists of a CD-ROM packed with ten flexible lesson plans (30 -90 minutes), powerpoint presentations, video and audio clips, worksheets and a fun interactive quiz and support materials – perfect for interactive whiteboards.
 
Educators can deliver first aid theory only or include practical work as the complete kit comes in a large holdall bag containing a CPR practice manikin, 30 triangular bandages, 30 dressings and a set of seven posters.

Designed as a self-supporting resource, teachers and youth leaders can rely completely on the lessons provided. Alternatively, they can design their own lessons from the activities supplied or use it to complement the services offered by the Red Cross trainers operating in their area, who can deliver and support practical skills training for schools.

The topics covered include:

  • bleeding and shock
  • dealing with accidents
  • the recovery position and CPR
  • injuries
  • illnesses
  • burns and scalds
  • choking
  • making first aid relevant
  • a road traffic accident scenario

You can buy the complete kit including practical materials, or buy the CD-ROM from our online shop.

First aid saves lives©Info“The first aid education kit provides a new way of looking at first aid education making it much more accessible. On its own, the CD-ROM would be an excellent resource but - when coupled with the other equipment - it is an exceptional buy.”
