Get started with First aid champions!
First aid champions is a toolkit in which there are differentiated activities for 5-18 year-olds. Teachers can pick and mix from quizzes, films, and engaging and practical activity ideas.
How do you make first aid simple to teach and easy to learn?
The resources are structured in a modular fashion to make them easy to navigate. The curriculum follows a ‘learn, practise, share’ approach, with activities to help children develop understanding and then try out what they have learned. Examples include:
- First aid skills
- Kindness and coping
- and Safety – learn how to call 999.
All schools must teach first aid as part of the new statutory Relationships and Sex Education curriculum. As a leading provider in first aid education, the British Red Cross is on a mission to make first aid simple to teach and easy to learn!
