Podsquad is a free play-based health and wellbeing program for 5 – 9 year olds, that understands if you want kids to do anything, it has to be a game. Created with top psychologists, paediatricians, dieticians, movement experts and kids, it wraps hard behavioural science in a squishy bubble of real-world fun.
Free to download, it’s an open-world adventure that plays out differently for each kid, packed with games, dances, quizzes, quests, stories, sleepscapes and animations – all taking place in the wonderful world of Imago.
Within the app, activities are split into healthy eating, quality sleep, and being more active, and this selection of original in-app animated films were written to teach, help and motivate kids on those topics.
Fun and lighthearted as it is, it’s all part of Health and Wellbeing Queensland’s approach to combating epidemic levels of childhood obesity in Queensland.
