The problem of fear is also considered one of the most important behavioral problems that pre-school children suffer from, as it is a major factor in most behavioral problems.
The research aims to effect of using objective games on some basic motor skills (running - jumping - throwing - kicking - standing - dribbling - fixed and moving balance movements) for preschool children, and the effect of using objective games on reducing behavioral problems (for fear - aggression - lying) for preschool children.
The study Methodology The researcher used the experimental method using the one-group experimental design, following the previous and post measurements, due to its relevance to the nature of this study.
The study community and the sample of the research included all pre-school children enrolled in kindergartens in government schools in the Eastern Province for the academic year 2018/2019 AD and their number were (175) children who were deliberately chosen.
Results: the values ​​of torsion coefficients for preschool children in the total research sample ranged between (-0.0.630: 0.664), as the researcher agreed with a percentage of 80% as a minimum to accept basic motor skills, the correlation coefficients between each statement and the total score of the scale are statistically significant at the level of 0.05, which indicates the validity of the scale in what was set for it, results show that there are statistically significant differences at a 0.05 level of significance between the averages of the pre and post measurements in basic motor skills (running - jumping - throwing - kicking - standing - dribbling - movements of fixed and moving balance) for children of the experimental research sample that follow the games program.
Conclusions: The proposed educational program using intentional games contributed positively to improving the performance of basic motor skills (running - jumping - throwing - kicking - standing - dribbling - fixed and moving balance movements) for pre-school children, the experimental research sample. The proposed educational program by using the purpose games contributed in a positive way to reducing the behavioral problems (fear - aggression - lying) for pre-school children, the experimental research sample. There are statistically significant differences at the level of 0.05 between the previous and post measurements in some basic motor skills and the reduction of the behavioral problems under investigation in favor of the post measurements.
