Abstract
The significance of this research lies in exploring the impact of energy-exhausting games through enrichment classroom activities on the development of specific social skills and physical attributes, as well as reducing hyperactivity and attention deficit among gifted students aged 13. The research problem emerged from the question: To what extent can energy-exhausting games, when implemented through enrichment classroom programs, contribute to enhancing selected social and physical traits and minimizing hyperactivity and attention deficit? This study aimed to (a) identify the levels of specific social skills in the sample, (b) identify the values of specific physical attributes in the sample, (c) measure the degree of hyperactivity and attention deficit in the sample, (d) design instructional units based on energy-exhausting games incorporating enrichment classroom programs; and (e) investigate the effect of these prepared instructional units on the development of the targeted traits. An experimental method was employed on a sample of 14 gifted students aged 13 (second intermediate grade), divided equally into an experimental group and a control group (7 students each). After conducting pre-tests and confirming group equivalency, the experimental group was taught using the designed instructional units, while the control group followed conventional methods. Following the intervention, post-tests were administered, and data were analyzed statistically. The results showed that using energy-exhausting games through enrichment classroom activities in physical education classes directly and significantly improved social skills and physical attributes and reduced hyperactivity and attention deficit among gifted students. And this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Quality Education).
