I don't want to see boring or preachy. I need a fun and interactive way to teach them this stuff in under 10 minutes. THANKS!

Heart Disease and strokes aren't fun subjects. Don't try to hard to make it fun or they'll just laugh at you. Just be straight forward and intelligent. Also, if you keep it cold in the room none of them will fall asleep.

As far as stroke goes, if you can find a wheelchair you can place each student in it, have them pretend their right arm and leg can't move, they can't talk or use gestures, and they can't understand speech (earplugs work well for this.) Have them propel the wheelchair with no assistance and try to communicate solely by non-descript noises and facial expressions.. Another informational activity is to demonstrate how difficult it can be to speak and swallow after a stroke (this is probably more doable in a classroom setting, as it takes less time and is very dramatic). Have the students choose a partner. Give each student 2 tbsp of M&Ms and 1/2 cup of water. Instruct them not to eat the M&Ms, but to hold them in their mouth. Have them try to say a sentence, such as, "I had orange juice and cereal with milk for breakfast today". Have the partner rate the victim's speech intelligibility. Did the partner have speech that could be understood? If so, what percentage of the sentence did he/she understand? After the sentence task, have the kids try to drink the 1/2 cup of water. Don't be alarmed if some of them seem to choke; this is not putting them at risk. Heart attack can be simulated by having students lie down, then placing several books on the chest to simulate the symptom of chest pressure. Ask the students have ever had a toothache, indigestion, or pain in the upper arm, then explain any or all of these symptoms can be a harbinger of a heart attack. It's also helpful to teach how symptoms can be different in women. A backache, indigestion, extreme fatigue, and nausea are common symptoms women have that men almost never have
