<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the effect of the traditional coconut shell stilts game on the gross motor development of fifth-grade students at SDN 2 Lekor. The study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 25 fifth-grade students selected through saturated sampling. The research instruments included a practical coconut shell stilts test on a 10-meter track and a gross motor observation sheet assessing balance, movement coordination, agility, step accuracy, and speed. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality test, homogeneity test, paired-sample t-test, and Wilcoxon test. The results showed that (1) the mean completion time decreased from 22.81 seconds in the pretest to 22.69 seconds in the posttest; (2) the paired-sample t-test indicated t = 6.372 with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05; (3) the Wilcoxon test showed Z = -4.120 with a significance value of 0.000; and (4) the traditional coconut shell stilts game had a significant effect on students' gross motor development. In conclusion, the traditional coconut shell stilts game has a significant effect on the gross motor development of fifth-grade students at SDN 2 Lekor, especially in balance, movement coordination, agility, and body control.
