Abstract


This quasi-experimental study examined the effect of rhythmic gymnastics using ribbons on the gross motor skills of children aged 5–6 at TK Harindah. Twenty children were divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group participated in twelve rhythmic gymnastics sessions using ribbons, while the control group engaged in regular motor activities. Gross motor skills were assessed before and after the intervention through validated observation and performance tests focusing on locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills. The results showed a significant improvement in gross motor skills in the experimental group (the mean increased from 14.90 to 32.70), compared with a small increase in the control group (17.00 to 18.90). The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test confirmed a statistically significant improvement. These findings emphasize the value of rhythmic gymnastics using ribbons as an effective, engaging, and developmentally appropriate approach for young children. The study recommends integrating multisensory play activities of this kind into kindergarten curricula to support holistic child development.
