Can a brilliant idea get even better? Indeed it can! Following the amazing Vinnie Jones ad (see ‘Ads for ELT - Hands Only CPR 1’) here is the fantastic sequel – CPR for kids! Tough boy ‘Mini-Vinnie’ shows us that there are times in life when it pays to be tough… :-) Amazing!! The perfect sequel to a lesson on Health / First aid etc. […which you naturally start with the first ad! :-) ]
Level: C1 – C2. Topic: Health / First Aid / Emergencies

SCRIPT
MINI VINNIE: There are times in life when being tough comes in handy. Say some numpty (?) collapses in front of you and your mum or dad ain’t around. What do you do? We need a volunteer that ain’t breathing.
Here’s one I made earlier. First off, check you’re not in any danger. Then check him over. If he ain’t breathing or he’s making noises like this. (SOUND: serious weezing) then he’s having a cardiac arrest. Shout for help (ALL: ‘Help!!’). Then call 999 – ‘Hello’. Don’t panic! The geezer at the end of the phone will tell you what to do. And no kissing. You don’t even kiss your nan on the lips. Lock your fingers, knuckles up and push hard and fast here – on the sovereign to the tune of ‘Staying Alive’.
Push down five or six centimetres. That’s about two inches – whatever they are… Push hard and fast! Go on. Better a cracked rib than him kicking the bucket. Do this until help arrives.
VINNIE: That’s my boy.
MINI VINNIE: Remember: Shout for help, call 999, push hard and fast to ‘Staying Alive’.
VINNIE: Hands-only CPR. It ain’t as hard as it looks. This is for training purposes only – so don’t try it on your mates!
MINI VINNIE: Alright muppets?
