3. Recognize that a first aid box is used to provide initial help for minor injuries.
### Materials Needed:
- A toy or actual first aid kit (containing child-safe items)
- Flashcards with pictures of first aid items (e.g. Band-Aid, gauze, antiseptic wipes, etc.)

### Lesson Overview:
1. **Introduction (5-10 minutes)**
- **Greetings and Warm-Up:** Begin with a friendly welcome. Sing a short hello song to create a positive environment.
- **Discussion Starter:**
- Ask the students, "What do we use when we get a small cut, bruise, or scrape?"
- Show the students a toy first aid kit and explain that it’s used to help people when they have minor injuries.
2. **Presentation (10-15 minutes)**
- **Show and Tell:**
- Open the first aid box and introduce each item one by one. Show real or toy versions of the items if possible.
- Explain the name and basic use of each item (e.g. "This is a Band-Aid. We use it to cover small cuts.").
- **Interactive Activity:**
- Use flashcards with pictures of the items.
- Hold up each card, ask the students to name the item if they know it, and briefly discuss its purpose.
- **Story Time:**
- (Optional) Read a short storybook that involves basic first aid scenarios to the students. Ensure the story is age-appropriate and engaging.
3. **Guided Practice (10-15 minutes)**
- **Role Play Activity:**
- Divide the students into small groups.
- Provide each group with a toy stuffed animal or doll and a selection of child-safe first aid items.
- Guide the students to practice using the items on their "patients." For example, placing a Band-Aid on a doll's 'cut' or gently cleaning a 'wound' with a cotton ball.
4. **Conclusion and Review (5 minutes)**
- **Summary:**
- Review the items in the first aid box and their purposes.
- Ask students simple questions to reinforce their learning, such as "What do we use a Band-Aid for?"
- **Closing Activity:**
- Hand out coloring sheets with images of the first aid items and encourage the students to color them in.
- **Goodbye Song:**
- Sing a short, cheerful goodbye song to wrap up the lesson.
### Assessment:
- **Observation:** Monitor students during the activities to ensure they understand the use of each first aid item.
- **Q&A:** Ask simple questions throughout the lesson to gauge comprehension.
- **Coloring Sheets:** Check the students' engagement and participation in the coloring activity.
### Adaptations for Diverse Learners:
- **Visual Learners:** Use bright, clear pictures and real or toy items for demonstration.
- **Kinesthetic Learners:** Provide hands-on activities like role play and handling first aid items.
- **Auditory Learners:** Incorporate songs and verbal explanations to clarify concepts.
### Follow-Up Activities:
- Reinforce the lesson in subsequent days with short reminders or a small daily quiz.
- Incorporate first aid-related themes into storytelling, art, or playtime activities.
- Invite a healthcare professional (e.g., nurse or doctor) to visit the class and show real first aid techniques in a child-friendly manner.
This structured approach ensures that young students gain a basic understanding of first aid and its importance in a fun and engaging way.
