This research aims to identify the effect of the modeling strategy on learning basic motor skills for children with mental disabilities from the age of 5 to 8 years through the application of a proposed 12-week program. The experimental approach was used and with pre- and post-measurement for one group to suit the nature of the research. A sample was chosen. The research was conducted intentionally among young children with mental disabilities from the New Helwan Youth Center. The total sample size was (20) male and female players.

A number of (10) players were chosen as a sample for the exploratory study, representative of the original community and from outside the main research sample. They were chosen randomly in order to identify the effect of the modeling strategy on the basic movement involved in (running - jumping - horse step - gap - jump - sliding), The most important results were as follows: The percentage of improvement for the variables ranged between (60.7% and 80.6%), and the best percentage of improvement was the slide and the lowest percentage was for the jumping skill. The researcher recommends using the modeling method for players with mental disabilities to improve basic motor skills.
