What do our users say?

In the fall of 2017 Action Kids was delivered to a total of 402 kindergartens in Denmark! In this context, we sent a questionnaire to all the kindergartens. Since 2017, we have awarded Action Kids for more than 1750 kindergartens throughout the country. Free! – Because we have the help of the large national foundations and local businesses and foundations.

While distributing the material, we always have a questionnaire ready for all the kindergartens. Action Kids only gets better if we continually receive valid user data.

Lige nu er spørgeskemaet besvaret af 219 børnehaver i hele Danmark. Deres besvarelser præsenteres her i form af cirkeldiagrammer og udvalgte kommentarer.

"We are a kindergarten with movement as the focal point and will often be able to use Action kids in everyday life, both as a planned activity and as a spontaneous activity. We use it both in the larger groups of approx. 16-20 children and in small groups of 4-6 children"

"The material is good and easily accessible, imaginative, illustrative, the pulse comes up, the kids are preoccupied with the stories, the children actively participate, the kids are excited and motivated, the images are visually good to the children, the relaxation to the end of the material - is great as the children come down in the pace once again, the time frame for the material fits perfectly"

Testimonies

"The children are taken on a journey that requires concentration and imagination"

Margit Alexander

Daycare Manager in the Ørsted Kindergarten

"We have been working with the solar system along with the oldest children of 5-6 years and used Space. We split the games up by 2 times and it worked really fine. Final got a diploma. Really exciting and fun - the kids were active and think it was fun."

Kaja

Educator in Kindergarten Ane Dam, Nørresundby, Denmark

"When I first got Action Kids in the hands, as I thought that it was kanongodt. Exciting! And then it's a world in which children understand with the animals."

"The places where we are dancing, it is a real beard. It is something that we have the pleasure of all together also. They enjoy themselves with the it. They go to the together afterwards and can remember the songs. We have great pleasure in it - also we as adults."

Marianne Larsen

Educational assistant in Lærkereden, Hadsund

SOLVEIG: "Children are very visual. You know, when they see the plate with the various things on, so they know what's coming. So for them, the plate is a good way to prepare them that this is what they must."

SUZANNE: "I think it works fine for all ages. Both the 3-4-year-olds, 5-year-olds and the individual 6-year-old, which we have. The children just have their own way to do it."

Solveig Carlson (TV.) & Susanne Smed (TH.)

Supporting role and the Deputy head/Educator in Vinkelvejsens Kindergarten, Hobro

"We have been using it fast on Wednesdays with the 3 year-old children (...)"

"The good thing about it is that we actually get touched a lot of muscles. We also crawl down on the floor, and there is nothing they will not do."

"So we were actually inside, as we had gathered all the eggs there, what should we then use the eggs for? So, we agreed, in fact with køkkenkonen that the next time we got pancakes for gymnastics, because now we had gathered so many eggs."

Dorthe Haldage

Deputy manager and Educator in the Kindergarten Foundation, Hadsund

"Anyone can join and all have fun,"

Marie-Louise Kastberg

Pedagogical leader in Wiegaardens Naturbørnehave, Hobro

"The material is good and easily accessible, imaginative, illustrative and pulse comes up. The children are preoccupied with the stories, participate actively and are excited and motivated. The images are visually good to the children. The relaxation to the end of the material is very good, as the kids come down in the pace again. The time frame for the material fits perfectly."

Jane Holst Qvist

Educator in the Kindergarten Kronhjorten, Støvring

"Nice that there are some to choose from, so children are not tired of it"

Ruth Malmgaard

Occupational therapist in Kindergarten Vimmerby, Aalborg

MICHELLE: "the Children they were with it, because it was a bit like a breeze. It was moving with the breeze in. So I think that the kids did really well from the beginning, precisely because that was the play, and not the classic with gymnastics, but there was something exciting in it."

MICHELLE: "It worked very well for the whole group. We also have bilingual children, and they could maybe understand some of it, but not all, in the same way as the other children could, so it was perhaps much fat for them to be able to follow more with the visuals."

MORTEN: "the Kids think it's really, really fun, and many of our have also, therefore, when we sat in the bus on the way here out of the, asked, ‘when do we go out and listen to it with the farm again and with kokasserne?"
