The following activity is wonderful for getting students to work together to find their own solutions to their problems – from both a subject-based or personal perspective. It can be used as a basis for a whole lesson, as a fill-in activity, a starter or a plenary. It can also be adapted for virtually any age-group and for any topic or subject area.
Activity name: First Aid
Materials required: ‘Injury’ and ‘First Aid’ cards (you can find a set in the special online resource area we’ve created HERE)
Time required: Various, depending on situation – from 15 to 55 minutes
Directions:
before cards are swapped so that all students are given the opportunity to both offer solutions and find answers to their questions in the same way.
