This study aimed at examining the effect of local games on motor development and aggressive behavior in preschool children. In a semi-experimental study, 40 children (6 years old) were selected randomly from preschools in Ahwaz city. Pretest was conducted using Ulrich Gross Motor Skills test and Aggression Scale. Based on their pretest scores, subjects were divided into two equal groups: local games and preschool common activities. Local games group participated in local games program for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week while the other group had their preschool common activities. Then, all subjects participated in a posttest. After ensuring normal data distribution using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, paired and independent t tests were used for intergroup and intra-group comparisons. Paired t test analysis showed the significant effect of both programs on motor development and reduction in aggression in preschool children. But intergroup comparison showed the advantage of local games over the preschool common activities (P=0.001). It is suggested that preschools should use local games to enhance motor development and to reduce aggressive behaviors in children.

One of the basic motor skills in childhood is manipulation skills. Gross motor manipulation is a person's relationship with the objects and has this feature: force is applied to an object or the force of an object is absorbed. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a selected motor program including team traditional games as motor experiences on manipulation skills development in boys aged between 6 and 8 (1st to 3rd grade of elementary school) in deprived areas. In this semi-experimental study, 20 children were selected from the male children in deprived areas of Andimeshk city purposively by convenience sampling method through a personality questionnaire. Firstly, they were pretested with Ulrich Gross Motor Development Test. The subjects were randomly matched in two groups: 10 kids in experiment group and 10 kids in control group. Then the selected motor program was executed for 24 sessions, 45 minutes each session for 8 weeks. During the execution of the program, the control group performed their usual activities. After the end of the program, both groups were post-tested. After checking the normality of the data and equality of variances, data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and one-way ANOVA in the context of MANOVA. Results showed that traditional games had a positive effect on development of manipulation skills (F6.4=30.75, sig=0.003, ƞ2=0.979). So an opportunity can be provided for children to train and increase the development of their basic manipulation skills and their movement by encouraging them to play proper games and enriching the environment.
