Abstract

The aim of the research was to identify the effectiveness of proposed educational units for motor education lessons in developing creative abilities (fluency, imagination, originality) among children of the private Buds of Hope Kindergarten and to know the differences between the results of the proposed educational units and the traditional curriculum in developing creative abilities. The research community consisted of (50) children from Al-Amal Kindergarten for the academic year 2024-2025 in Basra Governorate who joined two classes A-B and were divided into two equal groups (experimental and control). Creativity tests were conducted on them for pre-school children after designing motor activities related to the environment and sustainability such as recycling activities and designing games that include collecting and classifying balls or colored objects according to materials that can be recycled. We concluded that there were significant differences between the two groups and the post-test in the creative abilities tests (fluency, imagination, originality) and that the students were at a level not less than average.
