Objective: To explore the impact of situational sport games on gross movement and social development among children aged 4-5 years, and to provide references for promoting the healthy development of preschool children. Methods: Seventy one children aged 4-5 were randomly selected from one public kindergarten in Beijing during Apr. to Jul. of 2019 and were randomly divided into experimental group ( n =36, 8 week situational sports game intervention) and control group ( n =35, regular learning and playing). The Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-3) and social development scale for children aged 3-9 were used to assess gross movement and social development, respectively, which were then compared and analyzed. Results: Before intervention, the total score of gross motor development[intervention group (42.63±7.62), control group (43.00±9.16)] and social development[intervention group (211.88±6.68), control group (212.71±9.80)] showed no significant differences between the two groups( t =-0.18，-0.37， P >0.05). After intervention, increases in gross motor development[intervention group (67.80±9.80), control group (45.68±9.47)] and social development level[intervention group (228.30±6.37), control group (214.71±8.65)] were observed in both groups( t =25.82，3.22；15.90，2.13， P <0.05), with gross movement and social development scores higher in intervention group than that of the control group( t =9.66，7.54， P <0.05). Conclusion 8 week situational sports games can promote gross movement and social development of 4-5 year old children. It is suggested that interventions to promote early childhood development should be aware of multiple dimensions of development.
