Your first aid unit is about to get a whole lot easier for YOU and way more hands-on for your middle and high schoolers! This unit takes the latest American Red Cross guidelines and turns them into engaging role-plays, simulations, and peer-led lessons that help students feel confident responding to emergency situations.
 
It includes everything you need for a successful first aid training from a pre-assessment, to step-by-step slides, worksheets, role-plays, and a simulation game, all the way to a self-correcting final exam and a graded final simulation to see how they respond in an emergency.

Common Questions
“Will I need dummies or an AED?”
I recommend them for demonstrations and practice, but if your school doesn’t have them, the role-plays can still be done effectively without.
“Will this unit be updated when the American Red Cross guidelines change?”
YES! Staying current is super important. You’ll always get free access to updates.
“What grades is this best for?”
Perfect for middle and high school!
