This study was conducted in order to examine the effect of the Game-Based Training Program on peer relations among five-year-old children receiving preschool education. A design with pretest-posttest control group was used in the study. The sample group of the study consisted of 44 five-year-old children (22 control-22 experimental) receiving education at two kindergartens in the city center of Malatya.
