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