Abstract

Aim. This study aims to develop game exercises for improving motor skills and evaluate their effectiveness in practice. Materials and methods. The study involved 18 students. Fine motor skills were tested with the FingerFit test. The following game exercises were proposed by the authors for improving motor skills: FingerMemory, FingerCheckers, FingerChess, FingerMath. Their effectiveness was assessed with descriptive statistics and the Student's t-test. The study took place from January to June 2021. Results. The use of game exercises contributed to the improvement of FingerFit performance from 487.3 s to 427.7 s (12.3%). The coefficient of fatigue in the group improved from –0.004 to –0.015. The coefficient of lateral asymmetry slightly increased from 1.03 to 1.12. Conclusion. The proposed 16-week course of 4 game exercises contributed to the improvement of fine motor skills.
