Knowing what to do in an emergency is a skill that saves lives — so we made our entire Health & CPR section free for anyone with a TaleTykes account, on every plan and trial. Children learn the right thing at the right age, building confidence one band at a time.
Grades K–2 (Little Lifesavers): recognizing an emergency and staying calm, calling 911 and giving your address, getting an adult, and small first aid like cuts and nosebleeds. The youngest learners don't do CPR yet — they learn to spot trouble and get help fast.
Grades 3–5 (Safety Squad): the Check–Call–Care habit, the recovery position, stopping bleeding, choking-response awareness, and an honest first look at cardiac arrest, hands-only CPR, and the AED.
Grades 6–8 (Ready Responders): the real thing. The Chain of Survival, full hands-only CPR technique (rate, depth, recoil), using an AED, the complete choking response, and serious bleeding control — the ages where, per the WHO-endorsed "Kids Save Lives" statement, most learners are strong enough to give effective compressions.
Advanced CPR Skills Lab: certification-prep depth for teens and adults — conventional CPR with rescue breaths, child and infant CPR, AED special situations, all-ages choking, opioid emergencies and naloxone, and Stop the Bleed. It includes a live, on-device CPR coach that trains your compression rate by camera, tap, or metronome, a practice-manikin buying guide, and links to get certified for real.
All of it is age-appropriate education to build confidence and readiness. It is not a substitute for a certified Basic Life Support or CPR course, or for professional medical care.
Eligibility & details
Free for anyone with a TaleTykes account (any plan or trial). Age-by-age scope follows the "Kids Save Lives" ladder: emergency awareness and basic first aid in K–2, more first aid and choking awareness in grades 3–5, and hands-only CPR from grades 6–8 (~age 12). Educational only — not a certified BLS/CPR course.
