The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a behavioral change intervention to promote physical activity in young children. This work's intervention is based on the theory and techniques of behavioral science. The intervention program was developed involving active participation from three different directions, the environment, kindergarten teachers, and parents. In order to examine the effectiveness of our program, we collected data, before and after the intervention, from a group of children who wore pedometers to monitor their number of steps. The subject of this study was 68 five years old children (35 boys, 33 girls) at a kindergarten located in Aichi Prefecture. The results showed that the children's daily number of steps increased after the intervention. Also, the intervention showed to be particularly effective in a group of low active girls. The following conclusions also support the satisfactory results obtained by this intervention : (1) The children's physical activity will was stimulated by the fact of setting some time for them to play freely with balls of different sizes and types, as well as, by the environment which the playing tools were placed. (2) The fact of the children daily sticking a seal on a check table in order to keep track of their own activities, gave them more strength and motivation to continue doing physical activities. Future works include the investigation of the parents support during such intervention program.
