Abstract

Nutrition and health issues are significant challenges to the growth and development of school-age children and can impact academic achievement and performance in school. The Nutrikids program aims to provide nutrition and health education to elementary school children. This program is implemented in two different elementary schools. Public elementary school Ciater, with 168 students, is divided into two counseling sessions: one in the morning for grades 1-3 and another in the afternoon for grades 4-6. And the public elementary school Giri Aji, with 284 participants in a single counselling session. The implementation procedure includes delivering material on Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB), the dangers of consuming ultra-processed foods, the importance of eating vegetables and fruits, and balanced nutrition using lecture and Q&A techniques, along with interactive activities such as singing handwashing songs, joyful nutrition movement, Rainbow of Fruits and Vegetables, and playing the "Isi Piringku" puzzle. The analysis method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews to depict the overall activity process. The findings indicate an improved understanding of clean and healthy behavior, the dangers of consuming ultra-processed foods, the importance of eating fruits and vegetables, and the balanced-nutrition concept of "Isi Piringku," based on observations, interviews, and participant responses. Evaluation using the Kirkpatrick model at the reaction and learning levels indicates that participants found the activity enjoyable and easy to understand, and that it provided new knowledge about clean and healthy living behaviors, nutritious food, and proper handwashing practices, indicating a direct positive impact of the Nutrikids program on students' understanding of nutrition and health. Overall, the Nutrikids program can enhance knowledge and have a positive impact on elementary school children regarding health and nutrition.
