Activilandia is a virtual theme park dedicated to healthy habits: healthy eating, varied physical activity, active leisure ... It combines recreational and educational content in audiovisual formats very attractive to children, including digital games, videos, music, animations ...
Children will have fun with him but for parents, it is important to know that the objective of this game is to inform and motivate changes in diet and in the practice of exercise or physical activity to acquire healthier habits in daily life (games and family activities , at school, in the park with friends, sports, dancing, hygiene ...).
Thus, Activilandia is an informative tool which includes characters from the famous Lazy Town series, with characters like Pablo Fantastic, Lazy Town's own cook who helps make healthy recipes; Sportacus, which stars in the sports area or Stephanie that guides us through the area of music and dance.
We started "flying over" a large theme park with different areas that children can explore to go to the different "attractions". There are up ten themed attractions which include explanation and pdf. didactic, plus three special activities (action cinema, outdoor playground and laboratory with "Great Ideas and Garrafales").
Activilandia is a project of the NAOS Strategy of the AESAN (Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition), which aims to prevent overweight and childhood obesity and contribute to children and families with children, modify some behaviors and adopt healthier lifestyles.
Although Activilandia is especially aimed at children between six and 12 years old, there are games that younger children can play with us. Others, such as creating a comic or those who need to read, it is for older children. But to sing and move to the rhythm of music, for that there is no limit!
As for children, it also addresses information to schools and parents, with interesting informative brochures, decalogues ... I especially liked some sections such as children and healthy emotions, which helps to identify, understand and know how to correctly manage emotions or the "Activometer" to know how active our family is.
It is interesting that the time of use of the game can be limited (since we also do not want children to spend a lot of time in front of the screens) and that emphasis is placed on stimulating children's imagination as an active and healthy source of life.
Definitely, Activilandia is a virtual theme park where fun is healthy, something we can discover with our children especially by putting into practice the advice of healthy living. And it's never too late to start!
