This study aims to determine the effect of implementing the traditional plate-breaking game infused with Batak Toba local wisdom on the gross motor skills of fifth-grade students at SDN 068084 Jalan Denai. This study employed a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental approach and a pre-test post-test kontrol group design. The research subjects consisted of 48 students divided into an experimental class and a kontrol class. Data collection techniques were conducted through a gross motor skills rubric test covering indicators of running, jumping, and throwing.

The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 31. The analysis results showed that the significance value (Asymp. Sig. 2-tailed) was 0.000 < 0.05, so H₀ was rejected and Hₐ was accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of the traditional plate-breaking game has a significant effect on improving the gross motor skills of fifth-grade students at SDN 068084 Jalan Denai.
