The use of gadgets among school children in Indonesia continues to increase in line with the development of digital technology. Although gadgets can provide benefits as a medium for learning and communication, excessive use without supervision can have negative effects, such as decreased concentration on learning, health problems, and the risk of addiction. Based on these conditions, an educational activity on the healthy and wise use of gadgets was held in Kalirungkut Village, Rungkut District, Surabaya City. The method used was interactive counseling combined with question and answer sessions. There were 30 participants aged 5-10 years old. Evaluation was carried out through pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The method used was interactive counseling combined with a question and answer session.
