Program Kidzy Fun Learning dirancang untuk mengatasi dua masalah utama pada anak-anak di RW 11 Kebonagung, Sidoarjo: ketergantungan berlebihan pada gawai dan rendahnya kemampuan Bahasa Inggris. Penggunaan gawai yang melebihi batas WHO (4 jam/hari) berdampak negatif pada perkembangan kognitif dan sosial anak, sementara minimnya akses pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris berkualitas memperparah kondisi ini. Program ini mengintegrasikan metode Total Physical Response (TPR) dan gamifikasi dalam 8 pertemuan mingguan, melibatkan 21 peserta SD kelas 1-6. Hasilnya menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan: 85% peserta kelas rendah menguasai 20+ kosakata baru, 70% peserta kelas tinggi mampu memperkenalkan diri dalam bahasa Inggris, serta penurunan rata-rata screen time 1,5 jam/hari. Pendekatan kontekstual seperti Market Day English dan pelibatan Junior Tutors memperkuat keberlanjutan program. Temuan ini membuktikan efektivitas pembelajaran berbasis gerakan dan permainan sebagai solusi ganda untuk pendidikan bahasa dan detoks digital, khususnya di daerah kurang terlayani. Program ini merekomendasikan integrasi model serupa ke kurikulum sekolah dasar.
