Abstract	The purpose of this research is to determine what the game means from the perspectives of children studying at public and private schools. Four questionnaires were applied to all the third grade parents of four schools; two public and two private schools in Ankara, and questionnaires were completed and sent back by 212 parents. A total of 32 volunteer students from four schools, 4 girls and 4 boys, who were determined according to the results of parents surveys consist of our student research group. Qualitative data were obtained by semi-structured interview technique. Content analysis technique was used for qualitative data and six main themes were created. As a result, children at private and public schools have described as ''the meaning of the play'' theme, as ''having fun, being happy, having a good time with friends, "learning new rules, being healthy and doing sports''. In the research, they also stated that they play game types such as ''rope, hide, hide and seek'' which do not require materials in public schools while they indicated they play games such as ''ball, dart, taboo and technological games'' in private schools. Children indicated that they play at school competitive games prepared by teachers in physical activities lessons. It is concluded that, there is not too much change in the meaning of the game in terms of children who study at private and public schools. Children's type of game and materials especially change for both girls and boys and schools. Although there are purpose of "enjoy" for both of the two groups, but materials and games that used and played are different. (As Provided).
