Disability or special needs refer to a condition of functional limitations that hinder individuals from performing daily activities. This study aims to examine the effect of games and traditional games on the physical motor development of children with disabilities through a meta-analytic approach. Data were collected from 14 primary studies that met the inclusion criteria and analyzed using meta-analytic statistics. The analysis revealed a Q-value of 22.784 with a p-value of 0.04 (< 0.05), indicating heterogeneity in effect sizes across studies. Therefore, a random-effects model was employed to calculate the overall effect size. The results showed that games and traditional games have a significant positive effect on the physical motor development of children with disabilities, with a combined effect size of r = 0.744 (p < 0.05), which falls into the strong category. These findings underscore the importance of integrating traditional games into physical-motor intervention programs for children with disabilities. Future research is recommended to explore potential moderating factors affecting the effectiveness of such interventions, such as type of disability, age of the children, and duration of the intervention.
