Abstract
The Chinese traditional physical games are the wisdom crystallization of working people which is from the folk of China, and have the unique ethnic characteristics.With its rich types、diversity action type、flexible format、and the materials which are close to the life, the traditional Chinese physical games are more popular among children of China, Japan and Korea.At present, Chinese researches focus more on the impact of physical health with physical games, and less the on the children motor skill from the perspective of the development of the games.
In this study, we randomly selected 131 children aged 4-5 years old in a public kindergarten of Beijing, China, and divided them into the experimental group and the control group.In the experiment group, the Chinese traditional physical games were intervened for one year, while the control group kept the original physical game of the kindergarten. Before and after the intervention,we use the TGMD-2 to test the change of children’s gross motor skill.
The result of the experiment showed that the total score of the gross motor skill of
the children aged 4-5 years old in the experimental group was 69.00 ± 6.47, which was 9.14 points higher than that of the control group (59.86 ± 7.02), the mobility score and the operation score were both significantly higher than those of the control group(P <0.01). There was no significant difference in the developmental level of the gross motor skill between the experimental group and the control group before the intervention, which indicated that the Chinese traditional physical games the young children participated in the experimental group could more effectively promote the children's gross motor skill.
