| description | This study intends to determine the impact of
the participation of second grade elementary school students in games involving
physical activities on their Life Satisfaction. The sample
of the study consisted of 706 students in 6 primary schools in the province of
Gaziantep in the academic year 2016-2017.The “Playfulness scale” was used in order to determine
the students' attitudes towards playing games with physical activity, and the
“life satisfaction scale” was used to assess their impact on the
satisfaction they get from life. The playfulness scale was developed by Hazar
(2015) while the Life Satisfaction Scale used in the study is the one
translated by Sevil (2015) into Turkish. Statistical analyzes were performed on the data
obtained in the study by using the SPSS 22.0 package program. In the evaluation
of data, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation were used while the
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used in the conformity check of continuous
variables to normal distribution. The Student T-Test
was conducted to compare the two independent groups of variables with normal
distribution, and the ANOVA and Tukey multiple comparison tests were conducted
for the comparison of more than two independent groups of variables and the
correlation between the numerical variables was tested through Correlation
analysis.
According to the findings, 73.4% of the participants were in the age
bracket of 11-12 years (518 people) and 26.6% were between the ages of 13-14
(188 people). 58.9% were female (416 people) and 41.1% (290 people) were male
and 51.1% of them were in the 5th grade (354), 22.7% in the 6th grade (160
people) and 27.2% (190 people) in the 7th grade. It was established that there was
a significant difference between the genders of the students in the Playfulness
Scale and the Life Satisfaction Scale; between the students’ grades in the
Playfulness Scale and the Life Satisfaction Scale as well as a high degree of
meaningful relationship between the Playfulness Scale and the Life satisfaction
