THE ROLE OF PLAY-BASED METHODS IN DEVELOPING MOTOR ACTIVITY IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract:

The early years of a child's life are critical for physical, cognitive, and social development. Motor activity forms the foundation for a child’s overall health and learning readiness. This article explores the significance of play-based methods in stimulating and developing motor activity in preschool-aged children. Through a combination of observational analysis and literature review, the study emphasizes how structured and unstructured physical games promote motor skills and contribute to holistic development.
