After he’s unwrapped the candy, he then hands the next kid in line the bowl and the mittens. The first person on each team puts on a pair of mittens, and takes a piece of candy out of the bowl to unwrap. Add wrapped candies to bowls, enough so each player on the team gets a candy. Divide the kids into two or three teams and have each team sit in a row. Whoever has the paper that looks most like a heart wins.īring several pairs of mittens and some wrapped candy for this dexterity race. Now have all the kids hold the paper behind their backs and try to tear it out along the lines as best they can-but no peeking. Kids will want to play this again and again.ĭraw a heart onto a sheet of paper and make copies for every kid in the classroom. They can race against the clock, and the child with the highest tower (that hasn’t toppled over) when the time is up wins. Have children build tall towers using conversation hearts. Then the children have to find their match. Mix up all the pieces, and then hand each child one piece. Whichever team puts their broken heart together fastest wins.Ĭut out heart shapes from construction paper and write a famous word pair on each heart (such as “peanut butter / jelly” or “salt / pepper”), then cut apart the hearts into two pieces with one word on each piece. Break kids into teams of three or four and have them piece together the puzzle hearts. Then cut designs apart along the lines indicated.
Make copies of our broken heart printables onto several sheets of card stock and cut out the designs. If a child drops his heart along the way, he has to go back to the beginning and start the race over. Have all the teams, one child at a time, carry conversation hearts across the room from one bowl to another bowl using a pair of chopsticks (easy) or by sucking them up with a straw (harder).

“There is no long-term treatment for people with takotsubo because we mistakenly thought patients would make a full recovery. We once thought the effects of this life-threatening disease were temporary, but now we can see they can continue to affect people for the rest of their lives. "Takotsubo is a devastating disease that can suddenly strike down otherwise healthy people. Professor Jeremy Pearson, our Associate Medical Director, said: These findings may help to explain why takotsubo sufferers have similar long-term survival rates to people who’ve had a heart attack. This damage, which is currently untreatable, reduces the elasticity of the heart and prevents it from contracting properly during each heartbeat. The images also revealed the tell-tale signature of fine scar tissue in parts of the heart’s muscle. Worryingly they also found patients had ongoing symptoms of heart failure similar to patients who have suffered a heart attack. Using ultrasound and cardiac MRI scans, the team found that patients’ heart function was often affected long after an event. Researchers from the University of Aberdeen followed 37 takotsubo patients for an average of two years. Doctors used to believe patients would fully recover quickly and even without any treatment but that view is now being emphatically overturned. During an attack, part of the heart muscle weakens and balloons, which cripples the heart’s pumping ability. Takotsubo syndrome – also called ‘broken heart syndrome’ – affects around 3,000 people each year in the UK. A sudden and serious heart condition triggered by severe emotional stress can lead to the same type of long-term damage as a heart attack, according to new research presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions in Anaheim, California, and funded by us.
