Intimidated to lead first aid training with your middle or high schoolers? I've got you! This lesson, based on the 2025 American Red Cross guidelines, walks you through a fully hands-on, editable lesson for your teens. It’s everything you need to teach with confidence, plus links to additional resources and tips.
 
Other first aid lessons just break down the steps, but this one goes further with real-life scenario roleplays, activities that get students moving, and discussions on bigger dilemmas - like why women are 23% less likely to receive CPR due to embarrassment about touching their chest. That’s why the diagrams include both male and female figures and open up a wider conversation about helping everyone in life-threatening situations.
 
Included:
20+ editable Google Slides
Clear teacher instructions with suggested links
Double-sided student follow-along worksheets
Teacher key
Roleplays for students to practice
 
Do I need a CPR dummy or AED? For the best results, yes, it’s recommended to have the proper equipment, including a first aid kit. However, if your school does not provide this, the lesson can still work without dummies. Simply edit or remove those sections from the slides.
 
 
Perfect for middle and high school classrooms.
