Abstract

The research aims to develop a program using physical activities to provide spatial concepts and visual-kinematic synergy to pre-school children.

The basic research sample was randomly selected from children in the Orman Private School in Fayoum counting to 40 children aged (4-6) years, representing (37.5%) of the original complex. The sample was divided into two subsamples, one is experimental and the other is a control, each one consisted of (20) children, and the researcher used the experimental approach, with an experimental design for two samples, using pre- and post-measurements due to its suitability to the nature of the research. A survey sample of (20) male and female children from the original complex and out of the basic research samples was chosen as well.
The results of the research were that there were statistically significant differences in the post-measurements between the experimental sample and the control sample, and these differences were in favor of the experimental sample in all variables under study. The most important recommendations crystallizes in the importance of benefiting from physical activities in teaching spatial concepts and visual-kinematic synergy and how to make them a fundamental focus in teaching pre-school children.
