This research paper explores the development of motor variables through engagement in non-competitive traditional games. Traditional games have long been part of various cultures worldwide, serving not only as forms of entertainment but also as platforms for physical activity and skill development. While competitive sports receive considerable attention in motor skill research, non-competitive traditional games often go understudied despite their potential benefits. This paper aims to fill this gap by investigating how participation in non-competitive traditional games contributes to the development of motor variables such as coordination, agility, balance, strength, reaction time , speed, accuracy, flexibility and dexterity . The games studied in this paper are part of bhartiya khel (Indian knowledge system ).Through a review of existing literature and empirical evidence, this paper highlights the importance of incorporating traditional games into physical education curricula and recreational activities to promote motor skill development.
