Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of a mental activity in the cognitive development of pre-school children from 04-05 years. The sample included 30 "Massabih el Amal" nursery children in the country of Tissemsilt, selected at random, and also divided into two control groups. And experimental, the researchers followed the experimental approach by designing the pre-post-test of the cognitive development scale of preschool children by implementing a program of (16) kinetic activity units educational. Mathematical averages, standard deviations, for homogeneity, and study results on: - There are differences in statistical significance between the control group and the experimental variables in the study under study for the benefit of the experimental group. - There are statistically significant differences between the tribal and remote trials of the experimental group in the research variables under study in favor of distance testing. Therefore, the researchers recommended the inclusion of special programs of kinetic activities in the general curriculum of physical education and sport in kindergartens because of the great importance in the development of mobility, knowledge and children of this stage.
