235 / 5.000 Investigators aimed to reduce the risk of obesity by trying a new intervention method that is role-play based, interactive and fun with age-appropriate play materials, considering that learning through play is more efficient.
It was aimed to reduce the risk of obesity by trying a new intervention method based on role-play, interactive and fun with age-appropriate game materials, considering that learning through play is more efficient.
Two schools were determined as control and intervention groups. An 8-week interactive-game-based intervention program will be applied to children in the intervention group who are at risk for obesity. The program was shaped by a physician-dietician-psychologist and a professional theater actor.
Family Nutrition and Physical Activity (FNPA) score, Food index (FI) score and BMI will be grouped for each child and a risk score will be calculated based on the total score they receive. It will be checked whether there is a decrease in this score after the training.

| BMI (body mass index) | We inputted the height and weight measurements into the WHO( World Health Organization) AntroPlus tool and assessed the BMI z-score. We will group the participants as underweight-normal, overweight, obese and morbidly obese. | All measurements will be collected at 0, 3 and 6 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| FNPA scores | Researchers will distribute the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity (FNPA) scale to parents. Parents will collect the questionnaires after they complete them. Children who score high on the FNPA scales are thought to have protective family behaviors against obesity. There is no cut-off point for the scale. | All measurements will be collected at 0, 3 and 6 months |
