The aim of this research is to seek an answer to the question “Do the Board Games Effect the Primary School Readiness of Children in the Pre-school Period?” Board Game Based Education Program (BGBEP) consisting of 12 games was prepared in order to improve the readiness level of children who are 5 years old children attending a private pre-school education institution. A quasi-experimental model with pretest/posttest control group was used in the study. The dependent variable of the study is the school readiness of preschool children, and the independent variable whose effect on this variable is investigated is BGBEP. The experimental group of the research consists of 24 and the control group consists of 24, a total of 48 preschool children. Children attend to a private pre-school in Konya, in Turkey during 2023-2024 school year. As a data gathering tool, Metropolitan School Readiness Test (MSRT) was used. In order to evaluate school readiness level of children, MSRT was administered to whole children as pre-test. BGBEP prepared by the researcher was applied “regularly and controlled” to the children in the experimental group in addition to experience in their environment during 4 weeks, 5 days a week and 2 hours per day that’s totally 40 hours by the researcher. Children in the control group continued their own education program. After the application of the BGBEP, MSRT was administered to whole children as post-test. Data analysis continues so the results of the study will be discussed in the presentation at the conference.
