The first stage of this model is the needs research stage, followed by the design stage, and the third stage is development and implementation. In this stage, all stages involve an evaluation and revision process. The assessment of the material expert is 89%, the game expert is 90.8%, and the results of the evaluation of the sports teacher in the first stage is 73.8%, and the second stage is 86%. Results The results of the product assessment have increased with a significant difference of 12.2%. This shows that the product developed on locomotor motion material through game development based on DAP (Developmentally Appropriate Practice) is feasible to be used in the implementation of learning.
