Abstract

The nutritional development of school-age children in Indonesia, particularly through fish consumption, is vital for cognitive, mental, and physical growth. However, local surveys show that fish consumption remains below recommended levels. This project aimed to enhance children's knowledge and attitudes toward fish consumption through interactive educational activities and visual aids. This approach includes educational presentations, video screenings, and games-based education suitable for school-aged children. A total of 44 fourth- and fifth-grade students from SD Negeri 76 Kendari participated, engaging in these activities. Pre- and post-assessments showed significant improvements in their understanding of fish nutrients and willingness to consume fish regularly. The intervention successfully maintained student engagement, promoted active learning, and highlighted the effectiveness of focused, nutrition-specific education in improving dietary habits. These findings highlight the potential of practical, interactive approaches to foster long-term healthy eating behaviors among children.
