A school-based health intervention package enhancing children’s overall health

KaziKidz, developed in 2018, is a holistic educational tool which aims to lead children through content, games and activities, partly supported by music, and conducted in a joyful manner that encourages and promotes a healthy lifestyle throughout childhood and into adolescence.

The teaching material for pre-primary is based on the Namibian curriculum. The teaching materials (from grade 1 to 7) are aligned with South Africa’s Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS), resulting in easy implementation and integration within school structures. Used by teachers in low-resourced settings, school children are led through the content with games and playful activities, partly supported by music, and ultimately promoting a healthy lifestyle from childhood into adolescence.

The KaziKidz lessons plans, covering pre-primary and grade 1 to 7, entail cue-card summaries and sing-along-songs in which three content pillars are used:

• Physical Education
• Moving-to-Music
• Health, Hygiene and Nutrition Education.

There are also multiple cartoons available to support learning.

All content is freely available below.
