Learn what to do for cuts, nosebleeds, burns, stings, bumps and more, and when to get a grown-up or call for help.
The most important first aid rule for kids: tell a grown-up. In an emergency in the US, call 911.
FOR GROWN-UPS
The advice follows common first aid guidance for children: cool running water for burns (no ice or butter), lean forward and pinch for nosebleeds, don’t rub an eye with something in it, and get help fast for breathing problems, big bleeding or someone who won’t wake up.
The 911 practice is pretend: nothing is dialled. Help your child learn your home address and when (and when not) to call 911. Outside the US, teach your local emergency number.
This game is not a substitute for a first aid course. Many organizations run courses for kids and families.
