Introduction: Traditional children's games constitute an essential strategy to promote physical activity, and motor skills within physical education classes, practical instruments are required to inquire about the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of schoolchildren for their implementation.Objective: to design and validate a questionnaire on knowledge, attitudes and practices related to the use of traditional children's games among schoolchildren aged 7 to 12 years. Methods: Cross-sectional validation study. The questionnaire was adjusted and validated by consensus through Delphi methodology, after three rounds. Seventeen experts evaluated each item in terms of sufficiency, importance, coherence, relevance, and clarity. Content validity was determined with Aiken's V coefficient and Kendall's concordance coefficient. The α-Cronbach's and ω-McDonald's coefficients were estimated. Based on the structure of the questionnaire, an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to check the construct validity indexes. Results: The results showed a high validity index with an Aiken's V of 0.91. Kendall's coefficient value was W = 0.102 at a significance level of p < 0.001 (X2 162, 685; gl 94). The instrument exhibited an α-Cronbach's of 0.829, and an ω-McDonald's 0.840. The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis suggest eliminating items and balancing the number of items in each component. Conclusions: The instrument showed sufficient and consistent psychometric properties of validity and reliability. The instrument is valid for assessing the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of schoolchildren, and it is expected that this instrument will provide prior information for the implementation of traditional children's games in physical education classes.
Keywords: validation studies, CAP surveys, traditional games, reliability and validity, physical education.
