Lesson OverviewAfter completing this lesson participants will be able to use the powerful tool of peer education to teach the prop-er safety and first aid skills pertaining to a specific safety and first aid scenario. After all five base groups have pre-sented their safety and first aid scenarios, all participants will be able to demonstrate the proper safety and first aid procedures for five or more emergency situations.

Lesson ObjectivesAfter completing this lesson, participants will be able to:

• Identify safety-related situations for infants and toddlers

• Recognize safety-related problems and use proper safety procedures for infants and toddlers

• Recognize an emergency, perform proper first aid, and call 911 or your local emergency number if needed

• Understand and identify how to care for an infant’s or toddler’s safety needs

• Understand and identify how to care for an infant’s or toddler’s first aid needs

Purpose:This activity gives participants an opportunity to collabo-rate with a base group to create and present an exemplary demonstration and presentation. They use the powerful tool of peer education to teach the proper safety and first aid skills pertaining to a specific scenario. Participants also learn from their peers the proper safety and first aid skills related to four additional emergency scenarios from their peers’ presentations.

Materials:• Scenario 1: Falls & Bruises worksheet

• Scenario 2: Car Seats & Broken Bones worksheet

• Scenario 3: Burns worksheet

• Scenario 4: Heat Exposure/Stroke worksheet

• Scenario 5: Infant Illness worksheet

Facilitation Steps:1. Give each participant a copy of the Scenario 1: Falls &

Bruises, Scenario 2: Car Seats & Broken Bones, Scenario 3: Burns, Scenario 4: Heat Exposure/Stroke, and Scenario 5: Infant Illness worksheets and explain that as groups are presenting their assigned scenario, participants are to complete the corresponding worksheet, using the information provided within the presentation.

2. Instruct groups to begin their 7- to 10-minute pre-sentations, one at a time, beginning with group one. Encourage listeners to ask questions at the conclusion of each presentation.
