The teacher will start the lesson by asking the students definitions of accidents, emergencies, first aid, types of accidents they might have suffered or gone through.
Possible questions to start the lesson with:
"Do you know what to do in an emergency?"
"What is an accident?"
Then the teacher will give them a picture where they will have to match the pictures with the corresponding word.

 Then the teacher will check the answer with the students.

Now the teacher will provide some webpages where the students can learn how to use the different materials in the first aid kit. They will also have to collect how to use the different materials in the kit in order to share later with the class.
