The quasi-experiment method is applied. A total number of 40 Malaysian children with ages ranging from 12 – 14 were randomly selected for the study, [boys (n=20) and girls (n=20)]. The children went through the traditional games intervention which consisted of performing selected traditional games for 60 minutes, three times weekly for a period of eight weeks.
