Method：Participants were 128 children who were randomly divided into two groups, aged 7-10. Two evaluators（a therapist and physical education teacher）used the Movement ABC test and TGMD-2 individually. The intra-class correlation coefficients（ICCs） was used to determine the intra- and inter-rater reliability. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the Movement ABC test and the TGMD-2. Results：The inter-rater reliability was poor to moderate（ICCs=0.22~0.70）and the intra-rater reliability in scorers was moderate to good（ICCs=0.50~0.84） in the Movement ABC test. The inter-rater reliability（ICCs=0.71）and the intra-rater reliability（ICCs=0.67~0.71） were moderate in TGMD-2. Significant correlations（P<0.01）between Movement ABC and TGMD-2 tests were found. Conclusions：Proper braining of evaluation to use the Movement ABC test and TGMD-2 is very important so that the results of those tests may be adequate interpretation as children’s motor abilities. Reasonable consistency between therapists and physical education teachers in the use of the Movement ABC test and TGMD-2
