The Role of Sports and Physical Activities in Developing Motor Skills in Young Children

Abstract

The development of directional motor skills in kindergarten play activities is an important aspect of childrens growth and learning. Directional movement games, such as rugby, integrate physical and intellectual development by encouraging children to navigate space,
interact with teammates, and make quick decisions, enhancing both motor and cognitive skills. This paper outlines the factors influencing the
development of childrens directional motor skills and emphasizes four key strategies in the analysis: providing diverse movement experiences, integrating game-based learning content into play activities, creating environments conducive to the development of directional
motor skills, and collaborating with parents and caregivers to strengthen directional motor skills. The aim is to clarify the importance of
directional motor skills in childrens development and to promote the formation and development of these skills in play activities.
