Brownie first aid ideas

[ReverseTheTrend]

Help

My brownies are doing their first aid badge over the next two weeks.

An instructor is coming to teach them properly, but only half at a time, so I need ideas for the other half.

I have bought mini first aid kits they can decorate, but need activities for them to win the items to put in it, (plasters, tape, wound dressing, cleansing wipe, bandGe)

I was thinking a word search for one of them, but can't find any online. And am stuck on the orhes.

Any ideas?

If you have a big roll of lining paper you could get them to draw around themselves (in pairs) then play that game where they have to put labels for different parts of the body?

Ooh that's a fun idea, thanks!

A knotting activity? They'll have to be able to tie reef knots for slings.

ooh yes, liek the knotting one, do you think it would be ok to do it with wool, we dont have any string and budget tight after buying kits, badges and paying instructor

Could you scavenge some shoelaces, skipping ropes, scoobiedoo strings, ribbons from lace-up toys? They could all be returned to whatever they were borrowed from afterwards.

Yarn is thin and fiddly, and it is harder to see the structure of the knot in yarn.

WE went to eh national science museum sleepover and one fo the activities the brownies loved was making bruises and wounds out of makeup/facepaints (you'll need to do a consent form though).

We, the, of, Brownies.

Paracord is cheap to use for knots. Amazon sell it in lovely colours!

How about practising phoning 999? Knowing about ICE in your phone? All the emergency services available and what they do? Practising using blankets on a casualty and then folding them up? Colouring in the emergency service vehicles the correct colours? Making and painting big people of paramedic, firefighter and police officer (female!). Invite your local community police officer in too? Make a list of who uses first aid in their job - mountain rescue, lifeguard, etc. Practise packing a first aid kit for different things - camping, the hall you use, a car, etc.

We made wounds (bought kit off the internet) and the brownies bandaged each other. Twas fun.

Where did you find the mini first did kits?

Scoobidoos are easier than wool for practising knots and you can often get big bags in the pound shop.

Thanks all lots of ideas.

Will dig out my old mobiles to practice calling 999

Mini first aid kits were from poundland.
