So that, this study is aimed to make up a basic first aids school brigade as strategy for the teaching of health preventive measures. It is an action participant research, on the basis of the qualitative approach and social-critical paradigm. The semi-structured interview technique was used, which was applied to five (5) students who acted as key informers. The findings lead to evidence the necessity of planning and applying an action plan to make up basic first aids and health prevention brigades. As a final reflection, it is considered that these kinds of groups benefit schools because people develop voluntary and social conscience to serve in possible dangerous situations.
