What you’ll learn
I can demonstrate basic first aid skills in a range of scenarios.
Key learning points
- Move: the faster we pump our arms and drive our legs to collect clues, the more time we have to work out what they mean.
- Move: kneeling by a casualty, arms kept straight, allows you to utilise your body weight when completing compressions.
- Think: understanding RICE & DRABC enables correct selection of the appropriate first aid response to keep someone safe.
- Feel: remaining calm and using the acronyms as a guide can help manage potentially stressful situations.
- Connect: working with others to practice supporting someone in need demonstrates empathy, teamwork and respect.
Words to know
- CPR
- a life-saving emergency procedure called cardiopulmonary resuscitation
- DRABC
- an acronym danger, response, airway, breathing, circulation
- RICE
- an acronym for rest, ice, compression, elevation
Common mistakes
I am not a qualified first aider so I can't help someone in need.
Basic knowledge can allow you to help with minor injuries. Knowing what to do in certain circumstances means that you can support and hopefully make a difference for any more major situations.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Print the worksheet as 1 A3 sheet between 2 to give enough space to record their responses. Use additonal materials and fold over the hint at the bottom of the page to add challenge - until they choose to use it.
