Background and Objective: Obesity in primary school children is not only a physical problem, but can also affect their mental health. Interventions based on motor games have been proposed as an attractive and effective approach for weight loss and improving mental well-being. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions based on motor games on reducing obesity and increasing the effectiveness of mental health in primary school children in Kerman. Research Method: This study was conducted with a quasi-experimental design and a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included 7-11-year-old primary school children with a body mass index (BMI) above the 85th percentile in Kerman. From this population, 40 children were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental (20 people) and control (20 people) groups. The experimental group underwent motor game-based interventions (including balance, aerobic, and group games) for 12 weeks (3 sessions of 60 minutes per week). The research instruments included BMI measurement and the Children's Mental Health Questionnaire (MHC-SF Children's Version). Data were analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA. Research findings: The results showed that motor game-based interventions significantly (p<0.01) reduced obesity and increased mental health effectiveness in the experimental group. The mean BMI in the experimental group decreased from 25.6 at pretest to 23.9 at posttest and mental health scores increased from 38.2 to 53.7, while changes in the control group were insignificant. Also, improvements were observed in the emotional and social functioning subscales. Conclusion: Interventions based on motor games can be used as an effective strategy to reduce obesity and improve mental health in elementary school children. These findings emphasize the importance of using engaging and interactive activities in educational and therapeutic programs and suggest that these interventions be implemented more widely in schools.
