The research was conducted with 54 volunteer students, including 27 in the experimental group and 27 in the control group, at Beyrebucak Primary School in Gazipaşa, Antalya. Necessary permissions were obtained from the Antalya Governorship and the parents of the students before the study.Within the scope of the research, the experimental group participated in activities using the Physical Activity Cards (PAC) referred to as yellow cards, which were implemented in physical education and game classes for 8 weeks, 3 days a week. In addition to measuring the students' height and body weight, their fundamental motor skills were evaluated using the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2).The research findings showed a significant difference in favor of the experimental group in terms of the total score of the TGMD-2 (p KW - Gross motor development KW - motor skill KW - TGMD-2 CR - Barnett, L.
