Outcomes of a Game-based Educational Intervention: Healthy Kids

It was aimed to reduce the risk of obesity by trying a new intervention method based on role-play, interactive and fun with age-appropriate game materials, considering that learning through play is more efficient. Two schools were determined as control and intervention groups. An 8-week interactive-game-based intervention program will be applied to children in the intervention group who are at risk for obesity. The program was shaped by a physician-dietician-psychologist and a professional theater actor. Family Nutrition and Physical Activity (FNPA) score, Food index (FI) score and BMI will be grouped for each child and a risk score will be calculated based on the total score they receive. It will be checked whether there is a decrease in this score after the training.
