The findings of this research aim to provide insights into the influence of Skillastics game and traditional sports on social competence and motor competence among elementary school children in West Java, considering the demographic location. The experimental method with a factorial design allows for the examination of interactions between the intervention and demographic factors. This research has implications for the development of physical education programs in elementary schools in West Java.
