Abstract

One of the child’s fine motor development is influenced by the use of educational games. There are many types of educational games used in stimulating children’s fine motor development. But unfortunately in educational institutions, activities that can stimulate children’s fine motor development are still not optimal, in this case educative game media facilities are still lacking. So that children’s fine motor development is still lacking. This study aims to determine how influential the use of educational game tools with the type of one-hole game is on the fine motor development of preschool children. This study used a quasi experiment design with a pretest and posttest design. The sampling technique used total sampling of 25 children with details of 15 girls and 10 boys and aged 4 years to 6 years. Data collection methods using questionnaires and observation. Assessment using the DENVER II instrument sheet taken from the fine motor measurement aspects. Data analysis used was paired sample t-test 2 samples. The results of the study prove that there is an effect of educational game intervention of one hole game type on fine motor development of preschool children. Based on the results of this study that to stimulate children’s fine motor development, it is necessary to increase the frequency of one-hole games.
