Abstract
The importance of the research in preparing a curriculum with mini games lies in the development of coordination, motor flexibility and volleyball setting skill for students. As for the research problem: it focused on the lack of use of small games in the teaching process, which is clearly reflected in the level of performance of the individual learners, as well as the need for diversity in methods of presenting the educational material and the learning process proceeds by adding excitement and suspense to move away as much as possible from boredom and routine and in an effort to try to involve students and giving them interactive and positive roles in methods of skill display, this leads to a weakness in their mobility and skill abilities in various activities and sports scheduled for them within the educational curriculum decided by the Ministry of Education, and on this basis the researchers decided to develop a curriculum that includes small games trying to develop coordination, motor flexibility and the setting skill of volleyball for students. The objective of the research is to identify the effect of small games in developing coordination, motor flexibility and volleyball setting skill for students. The researchers used the experimental method by designing (the two equal groups) with the two pre and post-tests due to its suitability to the nature of the research, the researchers selected the main research sample from the research community of (28) students, and they were divided equally into two groups, one of which was randomly conducted, using a lottery method, with (14) students, and the other was control, with (14) students as well, The homogeneity of the research sample was done and the experimental and control groups were equal. In all dependent search variables. The researchers concluded that small games have a positive effect and role in developing coordination, motor flexibility and setting skill of volleyball for students. Researchers also recommend adopting the educational curriculum of small games in developing compatibility, kinetic flexibility and preparation skill in volleyball for students.
