Abstract
The use of supplementary tools is considered a vital element in achieving the objectives of physical education classes. In cases where such tools are unavailable or scarce, creative teachers often seek alternatives using repurposed or readily available materials within or around the school environment, which can be manufactured at low cost. This research aimed to design alternative instructional tools and use them as stimuli in teaching basic motor skills to third-grade primary students (age 9) of both genders. The researcher employed the experimental method with equivalent groups using a stratified random sampling technique, selecting a sample of 80 students, representing 26.94% of the total population. The study concluded that the results from post-tests of the two experimental groups confirmed the effectiveness of the alternative tools for the sample. Additionally, boys outperformed girls in all skill tests under investigation. The researcher recommended using locally made alternative tools in physical education classes due to their affordability and ease of production using recyclable materials commonly available in and around schools. Furthermore, it was recommended to support teachers and school administrations who create such tools, both financially and morally, to serve as role models for others.
