- Graze on his knee:
If you've got one of these, you've probably got it from a trip or fall! The first thing to do is clean the area by washing it with some soap and water incase there's any dirt in there. Next, pat the area dry and dab away any blood with a soft, clean cloth and then cover the graze wth a plaster. - Blister:
You usually get one of these from annoying shoes rubbing your foot or toe leaving your skin looking like a funny bubble! First thing to do is to gently wash the area and try and keep it as clean as possible by covering it with a big plaster. Most importantly, don't pop it! - Bee sting:
You get one of these from little flying creatures that if annoyed, can leave you with a sore red lump. First thing you need to do is get an adult to check it and then wash the area with some soap and water. Get some ice on there too as this will help to reduce the swelling. Always tell mum, dad or your teacher if you are allergic to bee stings! - Bruise:
These come in all different colours - blue, black, green and even purple! The good thing is they usually heal all by themselves after a week or so but you can help speed things up by placing a cold flannel or bag of frozen peas over the area which will help to reduce any swelling!
To the rescue:
- Get together with at least 3 of your friends.
- Split into teams of 2.
- In each team decide who will be the patient and who will be the paramedic.
- If you're the patient, choose your injury from the list below and then hide somewhere in the house or garden:
- Graze
- Blister
- Bee sting
- Bruise
- Your team mate needs to find you as quickly as possible so pretend to cry or be in pain so they can find you!
- Your team mate needs to count to 50 and then try to find you.
- When your team mate finds you they will need to guess what is wrong with you.
- You can't speak so you must give them clues using actions.
- Your team mate will then need to perform the correct first aid procedure using the information above!
