The aim of this research is to determine the effect of walking on a boardwalk on gross motor development in children aged 5-6 years. The method used in this research is quasi-experiment. The design of this research is pretest and posttest (the one group pretest posttest design). This research was conducted at the Asfiyah Lidah Wetan Islamic Kindergarten, Lakarsantri District, Surabaya, East Java.

The population in this study were all students at Asfiyah Islamic Kindergarten who were active in walking on the boardwalk with a total of 45 students. The sampling technique in this research is total sampling, namely a sampling technique with the number of samples equal to the population.
