Summer Vacation Program: Learn About Oral and Body Health Through Games and Quizzes!

Nishikitagumi Medical Corporation (Nishinomiya Kitaguchi Dental Clinic, Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics, Oral Surgery / Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Director: Hideki Kodama) will host an experiential stamp rally event titled 'Summer Kids Health Adventure' for elementary school students, designed to make learning about oral and body health enjoyable.

The event aims to help children learn about aspects of their health—such as oral hygiene, diet, and posture—through play, encouraging them to develop proactive health habits. On the day, five creatively designed experience booths will be available.

Background and Purpose

Summer vacation is a time when children’s daily routines and eating habits often become irregular. This event goes beyond passive learning by placing children at the center of the experience through a stamp rally format, allowing them to actively engage their senses in a fun and educational program. By transforming knowledge from 'unknown' to 'known' and ultimately to 'I can do it!', we aim to support the first steps toward building a healthy body.

Event Features

The event brings together a multidisciplinary team of dental professionals, dental hygienists, speech-language-hearing therapists, and registered dietitians to offer five interactive experience booths where parents and children can learn together.

- Become a Brushing Pro! Use a plaque disclosing tool to check brushing effectiveness and aim to become a cavity-free tooth-brushing master. - Protect Your Mouth: Catch Healthy Snacks! Play a game to learn how to choose snacks wisely and develop eating habits that protect teeth. - Improve Speech with Tongue Training! Explore the often-overlooked 'tongue position' and practice correct pronunciation in a fun, interactive way. - Activate Your Brain: Solve Health Riddles! Challenge yourself with brain-teasing quizzes to boost your health awareness. - Learn Proper Posture! Even children who dislike exercise can participate. Professional instructors will guide kids through core training exercises to help them experience success.

Future Outlook

Our clinic’s vision is a society with zero cavities. Moving forward, we will continue our community-based preventive dentistry initiatives, promoting dental visits not just when pain occurs, but as a routine part of cavity prevention.
