Action Kids

Concept

Action Kids is a different play and exercise concept, which aims to motivate kindergarten students to be more physically active. The concept is designed to be easy to follow for any and all children regardless of their age, gender, weight, and motor skills.

With Action Kids, institutions bring more physical activity into everyday life in an innovative and 'disguised' way. This provides a better opportunity to include all children – even those who are generally not very good at sports and competitive ball games.

The concept is built around four basic elements taken from the children's own universe: Storytelling, music, motion, and colourful drawings, which together motivate children to be physically active and use their imagination while they have fun together. Read what users say about Action Kids here.

Action Kids fosters a sense of community, and all the children are winners!

Material

The Action Kids material consists of a cd and a guidebook, which together form the framework for the 25 active minutes. Currently there are 4 different universes, each with their own distinctive theme: Farm, Space, Zoo, and Circus.

Play with motion

The Action Kids routine is performed using a guidebook and a CD. The instructions includes colorful drawings and explanatory texts for each of the exercises. The CD contains music, sound effects, and instructional-speak, which guides the children through the activities. The educator actively participate and assist in the performance of the games.
