Abstract
Play is an important concept not only for children but for all ages. This study will aim to examine the perceptions of the students of the Faculty of Education about the play. In this study, a quantitative research method was used to reach the research data. The study was conducted with the students of the faculty of education studying at a foundation university in Istanbul. Voluntarily, 114 students were included in the study group. For the research data, the questions were shared with the students via Google form, and the answers were obtained from the students on the internet. The Play Perception Scale developed by Güneş, Tuğrul, and Demir Öztürk was used as a data collection tool in the research. Considering the research findings, making children love the lessons through play from an early age will ensure that more children can solve problems, express themselves, and have strong social relations in the future.
