INTRODUCTION Physical education contributes not only to healthy living in children but also able to develop socially, physically, and mentally if directed correctly (Razouki et al., 2021). Uniquely, giving students an understanding of the principles of motion and practising them will improve their physical fitness, health, and physical skills (Opstoel et. al., 2020). Physical activity is not only for health; there are games that teach analytical skills and develop character in social life.
