The objective of this article is to present a didactic sequence for teaching Basic Life Support (BLS) in the school environment, aimed at 5th-grade elementary school children, developed from a professional master's dissertation. The proposal, based on a multidisciplinary and practical approach, seeks to promote health education by encouraging the training of students capable of performing BLS maneuvers, especially in emergency situations, following the guidelines of the American Heart Association (AHA). The didactic sequence, based on Zabala (1998), includes a lesson plan for teaching BLS and the creation of a low-cost manikin from recyclable materials. It is also supported by self-instructional training videos for teachers, ensuring the accessibility and reproducibility of the practice in different school contexts. The study also contributes to the inclusion of health topics in the school curriculum, strengthening life education and risk prevention.
