The training of cardiopulmonary resusitation given to children was criticized in a study published in the British Medical Journal 2007, based on lack of sufficient strength in children to carry out effective chest compressions and the rigth depth. This study concluded that even thougth the best age to carry out an effective cardio pulmonare resusitation was front 13 yers of age. The training of younger children give them the knowledge and perspective to achieve greater skills in future. With our work, we wanted to present didactic guidance for teaching cardio pulmonary resuscitation to children based on the sequence, repetitions and frecuency, adaptating the content to the age of the child. Having trainined in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the whole environment of the child (teachers, parents and family) felt the learning is of greater use. The result of the work made us consider the simple game techniques that involve repetition and songs as diffusion tools with greater acceptance by the child and his/her environment.
