The document analyzes textbooks from various grades and subjects in Turkey to determine the number of learning objectives and games. It finds that some subjects, like the 1st grade Turkish and life science textbooks, do not include any games. Other subjects have some games but the variety and number could be increased. The document suggests adding more games to help students learn in a fun way and to better align the number of games with the number of learning objectives in each unit. Including more diverse game types could make lessons more engaging and help students learn more effectively.

The 3rd grade English book includes the following game types :act and guess,mime and
guess,dice games,card games,cube games and board games.It is seen that the content
of the games are inadequate when the number of games are compared with the number
of functions.There are repetitive type of games.The games may be varied.

9. We think that the number of game is insufficient according to the number of objectives in each unit. As
this lesson includes subjects from real world and its’ aim is to develop proper behavior, our books
include generally the activities such as role play and drama. Although It seems to be correct that
textbooks includes role play with the intent of the objectives of life science ,we think that ıt is easier to
change behavior through game.As these children are at play age,ıt is needed to include game into
lesson.Because of that the increase of game number will be fruitful

10. We see that there is sufficient number of game according to distribution of number of
objective in Maths lesson. However, there isn’t any game for some objectives in basic topic of
Maths.Besides we have noticed that variety of game is insufficient.Being always same type of
games, their productivity will decrease.As we increase the variety of game ,we can provide
having a good lesson and help performing permanent learning.Therefore children will love
school subjects and school so much and they will come to school more willingly.

Games related natural numbers are directed to the objective, but It can be enriched. Whereas It could be produced
much more game related angle and its measure, no game was included. There isn’t much more game related
operation of addition and subtraction. It is big fault that not being gamification of geometric shapes. Some games
related skip numbers can make easy to understand operation of multiplication and division topic which can be
comprehend with using game at most is fractions. It can be easier to teach measuring of time with games. But it is
insufficient. With using games, the comprehension of circumference and area could be easier.
