Movement Games - Formative Valences Which Lead to the Development of Coordination Abilities in Primary School Pupils

The following paper has the aim to present a part from a more ample research whose purpose was to apply games that involve movement for the primary school children in order to improve the index of performance for the general motor skills. In the paper, there are presented the registered results in order to develop these motor skills. The experiment was performed in a rural environment throughout the 2017-2018 school year and involved 96 students from the primary level, specifically the third and fourth grade. Ten games which provide handiness were predominantly used. For each class were used two games in order to develop the mentioned skills. The results were varying. The statistics showed better results for the group including girls rather than the boys' group. The experimental girls' group obtained a significant progress to three from the four trials ( p< 0,001) whereas the boys' group obtained significant results for three from the four tested trials. The experiment demonstrated that games involving movement can represent an efficient alternative for the traditional lessons in the primary school for the learning system in Romania.
