A motor coordination training model based on fun critical thinking games to improve basic cricket batting techniques for primary school students. The method used in this research is a re-search and development method, with the development model being the ADDIE development model. The subjects of this research were children aged 9 to 12 years, in the learning phase of training, totaling 30 individuals. The data collection instruments included expert validation questionnaires, documentation, and cricket batting tests. The data analysis techniques used were independent sample t-tests and Aiken evaluator scores. The results of this research are: 1) The motor coordination training model based on fun critical thinking games to improve basic bat-ting technique was demonstrated with a calculated t of-8.468 and a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05; 2) The motor coordination training model based on fun critical thinking games is practical for use to improve basic batting skills in children aged 9 to 12, as shown by the average of each test falling within the practical category; 3) The motor coordination training model based on fun critical thinking games is effective in improving basic batting skills in children aged 9 to 12, demon-strated by the pretest-posttest data of the motor coordination training model based on fun criti-cal thinking games to improve basic batting technique having a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05; 4) The motor coordination training model based on fun critical thinking games is better compared to not applying any treatment. This is demonstrated by the fact that the average N-Gain value of the experimental class is higher than the N-Gain of the control class, with N-Gain Experiment 14.43% > N-Gain Control 10.39%. © 2026 by the authors.
