Introduction: language development is a great indicator of a child's future growth. However, not all children achieve age-appropriate language milestones. Intervention through physical activity can be a significant contribution to language development. Objective: this study systematically reviewed the data linking physical activity to children's language development. Methodology: this study employed a systematic review approach, exploring many journal databases such as ERIC and SAGE. This analysis included empirical studies from the previous five years that focused on children's physical activity and language development. Articles that were irrelevant and came from questionable publications were excluded from this investigation. ERIC and SAGE databases yielded 1583 publications. Seven publications meeting inclusion criteria were reviewed in this systematic review. PRISMA was used for routine procedures in this investigation. Results: this systematic review found that physical activities in natural settings, integrated into children's routines, and conducted in a stimulating environment can positively impact language development by providing opportunities for communicative participation through play and games. Conclusion: Physical activity can improve communication from several angles. Future research should concentrate on the most significant types of physical activity for children's language development.
