Motor development in early childhood through elementary school is a fundamental aspect in supporting children's physical and cognitive abilities. At SDN 1 Wanayasa, Beber District, Cirebon Regency, there is still a lack of understanding and practice related to basic locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative movements in daily learning activities. This community service activity aims to provide basic movement training to students as an effort to stimulate motor skills that are fun and educational. The implementation method includes initial observation, material socialization, demonstrations, and direct practice of basic movements with students. The results of the activity showed high enthusiasm from participants and an increase in students' abilities in performing basic movements correctly and in a directed manner. This training also provided new insights for educators in integrating physical activity into learning. These results emphasize the importance of basic movement training as part of active learning to support optimal children's motor development.
