Senam Ceria merupakan salah satu kegiatan yang dapat merangsang perkembangan motorik anak pada usia dini, senam yang diiringi dengan musik dan lagu yang gembira dapat meningkatkan semangat bagi anak-anak sehingga aktifitas fisik/jasmani anak lebih baik yang pada akhirnya mampu mencapai perkembangan motorik kasar yang optimal.Tujuan: Tujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan gerakan senam terhadap perkembangan motorik kasar anak usia dini.Metode: Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah survei analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 50 anak usia dini. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan kuesioner. Analisis bivariat menggunakan uji Chi Square.Hasil: Hasil dari 50 responden terdapat 68% anak yang mengikuti gerakan senam ceria secara sistematis, Untuk perkembangan motorik kasar dari terdapat 38 responden yaitu sebanyak 76% memiliki kategori baik. Hasil uji Chi Square ada hubungan yang signifikan antara gerakan senam ceria terhadap perkembangan motorik kasar anak usia dini (p = 0,000).Kesimpulan: Melalui senam ceria maka gerakan dasar tubuhnya akan terlatih secara ekspresif dan akan memberikan perubahan yang signifikan terhadap anak yang mengalami keterhambatan motorik kasar. Salah satu cara meningkatkan motorik kasar pada anak usia dini dengan mengajaknya untuk melakukan kegiatan senam ceria yang menyenangkan bagi anak di sekolah, dengan gerakan yang sederhana mampu diikuti oleh anak.Saran: diharapkan senam ceria dilanjutkan secara rutin sebagai kegiatan olahraga setiap minggu di TK Pertiwi IV Kata kunci: anak usia dini; motorik kasar; perkembangan; senam ceria ABSTRACT Background: Early childhood learning currently used still seems monotonous and has not been able to optimize aspects of child development in improving the gross motor development of early age.
