Summary

This study looked at how traditional games (like tag or hopscotch) and free play (unstructured playtime) affect physical fitness and social skills in 104 primary school children aged 5 to 9. Researchers measured social interaction using a standard survey and compared the two play styles over 10 months. The goal is to help schools choose activities that best support children's development.
