What happens when learning about body systems feels more like real-world EMT training than classwork? Turn your students into first responders with “First on Scene: What Would an EMT Do?” This interactive Google Slides game will have your students take on the role of an EMT trainee. They’ll analyze patient scenarios, identify symptoms, and determine which body systems are most affected. It’s a fast-paced, discussion-driven, and surprisingly engaging way to teach and review body systems or to build interest and excitement over CTE fields.

Interactive Google Slides Game

Ten realistic patient cases with symptoms, clues, and even some misleading information put your students in the position of EMT trainees. They’ll have to choose what information matters most, which details aren’t relevant, and what to do next. A series of multiple-choice questions accompanies each scenario, providing students with information about why their choices were correct or incorrect.

  • Identify body systems based on their functions and real-life symptoms
  • Analyze real-world scenarios
  • Use evidence to support decisions
  • Discuss their reasoning and outcomes
