ABSTRACT:

Purpose: To improve Fine Motor Skills, Activities of Daily Living, Playfulness and Play history in children with Spastic Diplegia.

Methodology: A set of five traditional games were selected. These games were administered to a group of 25 spastic children (5-7 years), with average intelligence to understand, follow instructions and play.

Children with proper sitting balance, bilateral upper limb integration and hand function good enough to play games were selected.

Games:

Aliouine	Seed Game	Training precision and prehension
Hacchekallu	Pebble Game	Fine Motor Skills and Better Coordination
