DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLECTUAL ABILITIES IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN THROUGH ACTIVE GAMES

This study examines the effect of structured active games on the intellectual development of preschool children (aged 4–6 years). A 12‑week intervention involving 60 children divided into experimental and control groups demonstrated that active games integrating cognitive challenges (e.g., memory tasks, counting, shape recognition) significantly improved attention, working memory, and logical reasoning compared to traditional free play. The findings support the integration of purposefully designed active games into early childhood curricula to foster both motor and intellectual growth.本研究探讨结构化活动性游戏对4~6岁学龄前儿童智力发展的影响。本研究将60名儿童划分为实验组与对照组，开展为期12周的干预实践，结果表明：融合认知挑战（如记忆任务、计数、形状识别）的活动性游戏，相较传统自由游戏，可显著提升儿童的注意力、工作记忆与逻辑推理能力。本研究结果支持将精心设计的活动性游戏纳入幼儿课程体系，以同时促进儿童的运动与智力发展。
