Reacción

First Aid & Emergency Decisions Game

Life SkillsPrimary, Secondary, Sixth Form
Play Reacción →

A first-aid game against the clock: you face a real emergency (choking, a burn, fainting…) and have seconds to decide what to do first. Every correct decision scores; dangerous ones — the kind "everyone does" but that make things worse — cost points and get explained. The ticking clock mimics the pressure of a real emergency.

🧠 Pedagogical Benefits

Protocols that Save Lives

Check-Call-Care, the recovery position, the Heimlich manoeuvre, what to do (and not do) with a burn: the game turns official protocols into reflexes.

Deciding Under Pressure

In a real emergency nobody gives you unlimited time. Training decisions with the clock running prepares you to act instead of freezing.

Busting Dangerous Myths

Butter on a burn, shaking someone who fainted, inducing vomiting… The game flags popular mistakes and explains why they cause harm.

💡 Practical Example

"A classmate is choking and cannot cough: the student chooses between giving water, five back blows or waiting. They choose the back blows, score, and the game explains when to move on to the Heimlich manoeuvre."

📝 First-aid drills at home or in class

Prefer to learn without screens? Try this analogue version:

  1. 1

    Write 10 typical emergencies on cards (choking, cut, burn, fainting, sting...).

  2. 2

    Take turns drawing a card and describing the steps out loud in order, starting with Check-Call-Care.

  3. 3

    The rest of the group spots mistakes or omissions and corrects them with an official guide.

  4. 4

    Physically practise the recovery position with a volunteer.
