Relevance. According to official data, the level of injuries among the child population is increasing every year, which is explained by the fact that children cannot promptly recognize impending dangers, take measures to prevent them, and, if necessary, do not know how to provide first aid. Materials and methods: during the work, gaming techniques, computer educational games for preschool children, multimedia solutions, a four-step teaching method, as well as questionnaires, statistical processing, etc. were used. Results: Testing of the proposed program for training preschool children in first aid skills and monitoring its effectiveness was carried out by tracking the dynamics of the formation of criteria, which indicate significant positive dynamics. Discussions: The analysis of child mortality and injury rates allows us to identify life- and health-threatening conditions, taking into account age categories and groups at increased risk of injury, which facilitates the selection of basic approaches to training and first aid. Conclusions: Teaching first aid to preschool children involves, in our opinion, creating conditions for the use of various gaming techniques, educational computer games, situational tasks, taking into account the level of psychophysical and functional readiness, the ability to think independently, and act taking into account certain conditions.
