Description
In rural India, children face a high risk of diseases due to poor hand hygiene. Savlon Swasth India wanted to go beyond simply raising awareness about handwashing. They wanted children to understand it in depth — and make it a part of their daily lives. We recognised that children in villages still grow up playing age-old games, so we designed Sehat Games – a first-of-its-kind learning program that turned play into pedagogy. A 7-module syllabus reimagined favourites like Hide and Seek to teach where germs hide, Passing the Parcel to show how germs spread, and Hopscotch to teach the steps of handwashing, along with many more game-based lessons supported by specially created kits. UP Government volunteers joined forces to take this fun curriculum across schools and make every session engaging. Children learnt about germs, diseases, and handwashing through immersive repetition and joyful participation — turning a boring chore into an instinctive habit.
