FIRST
AID THEME
CRAFTS:
Eye Dropper Painting
Provide eye droppers, thin
tempera paint, and absorbent paper. Designs can be made by using the eye
dropper as a painting tool. Another method is to prepare water colored
with food coloring in muffin tins. Using heavy paper towels with construction
paper underneath for protection, the children will enjoy creating designs
with the colored water.
First Aid Collage
Materials: First Aid Supplies.
Create a collage of first aid supplies using bandages of assorted sizes,
gauze, tongue depressors, swabs, and cotton balls.
First Aid Kit
Materials: white construction
paper, red construction paper, glue, shoebox, rope and first aid items
such as band-aids, cotton balls, etc. Cover the shoebox with white paper.
Decorate with a red cross out of the red paper. Tape one side of the lid
to the box so that it creates a hinge. Add a rope handle. Put cotton balls,
band-aids, and whatever else you would find in a doctor bag that the kids
could play with.
Posters
Draw good health posters
(cover coughs and sneezes, wash hands after toileting and before eating,
eat healthy foods)
GAMES & ACTIVITIES:
911 Telephone Acting
Have a few phones in the
class, and go over with the children what to say when the phone rings and
the child answers. Teach them the proper and safe things to do, like: not
giving their name, telling the person on the phone where they live, or
if they are alone. You can even have each child come up to the phone ,
as you pretend to ring the phone & be the stranger. This is also a
good time to go over dialing 911 in case of an emergency.
Safety Walk
Walk around the house/school
with the kids and count how many safety items they can find. (first aid
kit, fire extinguisher, etc.) On the reverse side, you could have the kids
point out all the unsafe items (open cupboard doors where someone could
bump their heads, toys on the floor where they could trip,etc.)
