### Introduction (5 minutes):
1. **Greeting and Warm-up:** Welcome the students and briefly discuss how important it is to help someone who is hurt.
2. **Presentation of First Aid Kit:** Show the students a first aid kit and explain that it contains items used to help people when they get small injuries.
### Instruction (10 minutes):
1. **Introduce Key Items:**
- **Band-Aids:** Show a band-aid and explain that it can be used to cover small cuts or scrapes to keep them clean.
- **Gauze Pads:** Show gauze pads and explain that they are used for bigger cuts to stop bleeding.
- **Antiseptic Wipes:** Show antiseptic wipes and explain that they are used to clean a wound to prevent infection.
2. **Interactive Activity:** Using flashcards, display each item and ask the students to guess what they think it is used for, followed by a simple explanation.
### Guided Practice (10 minutes):
1. **Demonstration:** Use the doll or teddy bear to demonstrate using each first aid item. For example, pretend the doll has a cut and show how to clean the wound with an antiseptic wipe and then place a band-aid on it.
2. **Student Participation:** Allow each student the chance to use a band-aid or gauze pad on the doll or teddy bear. Guide them through the steps and provide lots of positive reinforcement.
### Review and Closing (5 minutes):
1. **Review Key Points:** Summarize the key uses of the first aid contents covered in the lesson.
2. **Questions and Answers:** Ask simple questions about the items to check for understanding (e.g., “What do we use to clean a cut?”).
3. **Closing Activity:** Sing a simple first aid song or chant to reinforce learning in a fun way.
### Homework/Take-Home:
- **Coloring Sheet:** Provide a coloring sheet with pictures of the first aid items for students to color at home.
- **Parent Letter:** Send a brief note home to parents explaining what was covered so they can reinforce the lesson at home.
