The importance of the current research lies in identifying the impact of the kinetic storytelling program on developing a number of physical attributes for second-grade primary school students.

The research problem is defined by the application of the kinetic storytelling program and the physical practices it contains that influence the development of certain physical abilities, and comparing them with the current school curriculum in primary schools.

The current research aims to reveal:

• The impact of using kinetic stories on the development of certain physical abilities among second-grade primary school students.

The researcher hypothesized the following:

1. There are significant differences between the two research groups in the post-test in the development of certain physical abilities.
2. There are significant differences between the pre- and post-tests in the development of certain physical abilities for the experimental group.

The researcher used the experimental method because it is appropriate for the nature and objectives of the research. The research population was deliberately selected from second-grade primary school students at Al-Mawaheb Boys School in Kirkuk Governorate for the 2024/2025 academic year, aged between 7 and 8 years. The total number of students is 64, distributed into two classes (A) and (B). The researcher concluded:

• The kinetic story program achieved significant improvements in developing physical abilities when comparing the pre- and post-tests of the experimental group.

The researcher recommends:

The kinetic story program should be used to better develop physical abilities within the primary school curriculum for the first grades.
