Abstract
Balance is an ability to align body segments against gravity to maintain or move the body. The purpose of this study was to compare goose walk and hopscotch games in improving straight-line walking balance in children aged 5-6 years old. An experimental design was utilized. A total of 19 children studying at Ar-Rahman Kindergarten were recruited as samples. Only children aged 5-6 years were included in this experiment. An independent t-test was conducted to determine which game was more effective. Results show that goose walk was better than hopscotch in improving straight-line walking balance among samples.
