First aid: what is in the kit?
A first-aid kit is a box with things for small problems. A bandage covers a small cut. Soap and clean water wash our hands. Gloves keep hands clean when a grown-up helps. A thermometer measures how hot a person is. Scissors cut a bandage. Remember: a child asks a grown-up to help. For a big cut or a bad hurt, tell a grown-up at once. In Egypt, a grown-up calls 123 for an ambulance. Read the table.

Dad, what is in our first-aid kit?
There are bandages, soap, gloves and a thermometer.
What is the thermometer for?
It measures how hot a person is. We ask a grown-up to use it.
Hoda fell on the playground and cut her knee a little. Her teacher helped her. First she washed her hands with soap. Then she cleaned the cut with clean water. After that she put a bandage on it. The teacher also told Hoda’s mother. Hoda felt better and went back to class.
Kit check. With a grown-up, look at a first-aid kit at home or draw one on paper. Write a list of five things in the kit and what each one is for. Practise saying: A bandage is for a small cut. Remember: always ask a grown-up to help.
