The document describes a primary school in Denizli, Turkey called '19 Mayıs İlkokulu'. It includes students from nursery through primary school ages 6 to 14 from middle and lower-class families. Many families struggle financially. The school aims to reinforce extracurricular activities, which are limited. The school wants to participate in a Comenius Project to help students. It then discusses traditional Turkish games that were important culturally and helped teach values. Many games are now forgotten due to technology. The project hopes to help recall lost games so children can experience them. It provides rules and descriptions of three traditional Turkish games: Ev Alma, Dokuz Tas, and Yakar Top

3. The school '19 Mayıs İlkokulu' is a public primary school in Centre of
Denizli. It includes nursery, SEN (Special Education Needs) and primary school
students. Their ages are 6 and 14. The students are from middle class or
lower class families and most of their families have difficulties in meeting
their needs and the school administration and the teachers are trying to
rainforce them for extra-cirriculum activities which are considerably limited.
The pupils, the teachers and the staffs of our school would like to have an
important role in Comenius Project Activities.

14. Childhood games are greatly important in Turkish Community. The
games ,of course,reflect Turkish people’s life styles and moral values. They
are known as indoor ,outdoor and board games. The games were played
between both the adult and children. The Turkish games helped the people
around them to be together and teach them sharing . Many people ,around
us, played the game but now they forgot the game rules. They can remember
only their names and a few rules from the game. Because,computers and
technological products handicaped us do and play the games ourselves. By
the help of this Project we hope that we will regain or recall the lost games
,and we wish that each child can find himself/herself in these games.
