ABSTRACT
 Traditional games are one of the cultural heritages of our ancestors that have existed since ancient times and have been passed down through generations via oral, auditory, or visual means to the younger generation. These games involve gross and fine motor skills that are performed in groups and include various types such as ball games, jumping games, and running games that require physical movement and activity. These games are enjoyable and challenging physical activities that can serve as a way to entertain, relax, and strengthen useful physical factors. Through playing, children gain learning experiences that include cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical aspects, which encompass a concept called physical literacy. Physical literacy is a capacity within humans that can grow and develop into abilities. Individuals with physical literacy move with skill and confidence across a wide range of physical activities in various environments, which is useful for the overall growth of the individual. Research results indicate that indigenous-local games can have significant positive effects on physical literacy and its components and can be used as one of the methods to increase individuals' physical literacy. These games can improve fundamental motor skills, movement proficiency, and coordination and interaction abilities between individuals. Additionally, these games can also improve motivation, self-confidence, knowledge, and understanding. This research can be the first step in investigating traditional games. We are looking to continue this research and investigate the impact of these games on physical literacy.

Keywords: Physical literacy; traditional games; motor competence; motivation
ÖZET
 Geleneksel oyunlar, atalarımızın çok eskiden beri var olan, eski nesilden miras kalan, sözlü, işitsel veya drama yoluyla genç nesillere aktarılan kültürel miraslarından biridir. Bu oyunlar, gruplar hâlinde gerçekleştirilen kaba ve ince motor becerileri içerir ve top oyunları, atlama oyunları, fiziksel hareket ve aktivite gerektiren koşu oyunları gibi çeşitli türleri içerir. Bu oyunlar, eğlendirmenin, rahatlamanın ve yararlı fiziksel faktörleri güçlendirmenin bir yolu olarak hizmet edebilecek keyifli ve zorlu fiziksel aktivitelerdir. Çocuklar oyun yoluyla fiziksel okuryazarlık adı verilen kavramı kapsayan bilişsel, dilsel, sosyal, duygusal ve fiziksel yönleri içeren öğrenme deneyimleri kazanırlar. Fiziksel okuryazarlık, insanlarda büyüyüp yeteneklere dönüşebilen bir kapasitedir. Fiziksel okuryazarlığa sahip bireyler, çeşitli ortamlardaki çok çeşitli fiziksel aktivitelerde beceri ve güvenle hareket eder ve bu, bireyin genel gelişimi için faydalıdır. Araştırma sonuçları, yerli-yerel oyunların beden okuryazarlığı ve bileşenleri üzerinde önemli olumlu etkileri olabileceğini ve bireylerin beden okuryazarlığını artırma yöntemlerinden biri olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu oyunlar; temel motor becerileri, hareket yeterliliğini ve bireyler arasındaki koordinasyon ve etkileşim yeteneklerini geliştirebilir. Ayrıca bu oyunlar motivasyonu, öz güveni, bilgiyi ve anlayışı da geliştirebilmektedir. Bu araştırma, geleneksel oyunların araştırılmasında ilk adım olabilir. Bu araştırmaya devam etmeyi ve bu oyunların fiziksel okuryazarlık üzerindeki etkisini araştırmayı amaçlıyoruz. Ayrıca bu geleneksel oyunların fiziksel okuryazarlık doğrultusunda değerlendirilebilmesi için doğrudan fiziksel okuryazarlığı değerlendirebilecek bir araca ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Fiziksel okuryazarlık; geleneksel oyunlar; motor yeterlilik; motivasyon
