Abstract

Preschool-aged children are in the pre-operational stage, where they begin to demonstrate symbolic thinking skills, namely the ability to use symbols, images, or words to represent objects and events in their environment. Children are able to use language to express ideas and feelings, although their thinking patterns are still egocentric and they are not yet able to see other people's perspectives. Delays in development during this period can impact subsequent stages of development, particularly when children enter school age, which requires cognitive, social, and emotional readiness. This study aims to assess the influence of traditional games on the development of preschool-aged children at TK Pertiwi 1 Kantor Gubernur of Padang City.

There was a significant effect on the development of preschool-aged children before and after being given traditional games, with a mean difference of 3.14 and a p-value of 0.000.
