Aims The aimed of this study is to increase early childhood fundamental motor abilities by influencing the learning model of project-based learning, age, and motor educability. Instrument & Methods Experiment with a pre-post design. Students in grade ۳ of an elementary school participated in the research while it was being conducted. Three independent variables, each with two levels, were employed in this experimental study, which used a ۲ x ۲ x ۲ factorial design. The Small Game PBL Model training group with tools and the Small Game training group without tools, aged ۸ and ۹ years old with high and low motor educability, respectively, made up the research sample. Findings The study's findings demonstrated that the variables in the PBL model had a significant p-value of ۰.۰۰۰, the ME variables had a significant p-value of ۰.۰۳۱, and the PBL and ME model interactions had a significant p-value of ۰.۰۹۸. Conclusion Fundamental Motor Skills are more influenced by games using the PBL paradigm than by games without tools. It is advised that students employ game learning programs with media to develop their fundamental motor skills, especially if they have high motor educability. It has been demonstrated that this program is superior to learning without media.
