LESSON LIFESAVER Activity
Health Care in the Home.
OBJECTIVE: The lesson helps young women recognize the value and benefit of good health care in the home. This activity coordinates with the Teacher presentation in the lesson: “The proper care of an infant or toddler is an important skill. Because most young women will baby-sit children in their own and other families, they should have certain information easily available.”

Option 2: Copy or print the pattern from the Young Women Fun-tastic! Manual 1 book or CD-ROM.
ACTIVITY: Babysitters Information Sheet
Give young women several copies of the Babysitter’s Information Sheet to take with them when they babysit. This will help them obtain the correct information so they will be better prepared with emergency telephone numbers (e.g., police or fire department, poison control, and family doctor) without having to take time to look up the numbers in the phone book. Young women can post the information by the phone and feel more confident in their child care responsibilities. Parents will also be more at ease knowing the babysitter has this vital information at her fingertips.
THOUGHT TREAT: Red Cross Licorice. (1) Cut two 6-inch pieces of licorice to tie together to make a red cross. (2) Talk about how the American Red Cross has millions of volunteers to help in emergencies in hospitals and community agencies giving: money, blood, training, and first-aid to disaster victims. (3) Obtain several books from the library or American Red Cross to show. (4) Demonstrate a skill or two, giving a Red Cross Licorice Treat to those who have tried the skill.
