In the study, case study from qualitative research types were used. The study group consists of 50 people living in Sivas province centre and randomly determined ages from 20 to 82. The data were obtained by using an open-ended interview form consisting of six items. 26 people were interviewed in the age range of 51-82, and semi-structured interview form was applied to 24 people in the age range of 20-50. The first group in the age range of 51-82 was asked some questions about games they played during their childhood; the second group in the age range of 20-50 was asked some questions about the games that their children play today. In the analysis of data, frequency analysis and content analysis techniques were used. According to the results of the research, 70 different games played in the past have been identified and it has been determined that a large part of them are no longer played. The number of games played today is 33. It has been determined that whereas children spent all their free time by playing games in the past, they spend just % 66.67 of their time by playing games today. It has been found out that in the past the games were played as a group but now they are more individual, in the past when gaming materials were supplied by children using natural materials, most of them are manufactured toys in the present. It has also been identified that there is not enough safe open space for children to play.
