How to teach first aid in a fun way?

let them practice putting splints and bandages on each other. Lectures are boring- make it interactive and hands-on! I teach basic first aid to 6th graders in public school, they love practicing the skills they are learning.

Create a situation:

Have someone be a sting victim and ask someone to do first aide. Chances are they will do somethings right and some thing wrong. Point out both and they will learn and be reinforced as to what is right.

Have some one with a fake wound ...

Sprained ankle ... etc

My son is a Bear. I know his age group would love anything having to do with SpongeBob. Why not make a giant Sponge(Bob) and in a silly way show how you would really treat these problems using him, instead of just using a child to demonstrate? Have fun!
