description The questions like how children learn easily, and how they can achieve a healthier growth and development bring us to the idea of “play”. If a child plays, this shows that he/she is healthy and can learn things. In fact, it is a cycle, the more children play, the healthier the child becomes and the more their learning experiences become richer. The power of the play comes from the contributions that it provides for a child’s holistic development.  In the process of playing a game, Children gain valuable life skills, such as; social skills, research skills, problem solving skills, thinking skills, communication skills, and self-sufficiency and management skills. The educational reforms that many world countries are now working on essentially makes an effort to provide  children with the opportunity to learn at their own pace, to use their capacities at the highest level with appropriate methods. "Play" is the most prominent of these efforts or, in other words, scientifically proven opportunities in the absolute solution of the problems in the field of education. This article is compiled to share the results of play-based school and educational programs in different countries. In our country, while emphasizing the pedagogical value of the play at every occasion, it was aimed to draw attention to concrete studies in the field of application.
