 Derslerin öğretiminde kullanılacak birçok yöntem bulunmaktadır. Eğitsel oyun yöntemi bunlardan birisidir. Eğitsel oyun yönteminin uygulanabilmesi adına derslere yönelik oyunlar hazırlanmalıdır. Bu araştırmada üçüncü sınıf Hayat Bilgisi dersi yönetim birimleri konusunun öğretimine yönelik geliştirilen bir oyunun öğrenci ve öğretmen görüşlerine göre değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Olgubilim deseninde tasarlanan araştırma nitel araştırma yaklaşımı çerçevesinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırma için gerekli etik kurul izni alınmış, gönüllü katılım formu ve veli onam formu ilgililere imzalatılmıştır. Çalışma grubu Amasya ilinin Suluova ilçesinde görev yapan 3 sınıf öğretmeni ve 11 ilkokul öğrencisi olmak üzere toplam 14 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma verileri yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimleyici bakış açısı benimsenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları ders için geliştirilen oyunun, dersin kazanımına yönelik olduğunu, öğrencilere dersin öğretiminde katkı sağladığını ve öğrencilerde bazı temel yaşam becerilerini geliştirdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Dersin öğretim programında yer alan ve oyunun ilişkili olduğu belirlenen temel yaşam becerileri öğrenci görüşlerine göre belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Öğrenci görüşleri programda yer alan; iletişim, iş birliği, kurallara uyma, mekânı algılama, öz yönetim ve zaman yönetimi becerileriyle oyunun ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde, araştırma için geliştirilen Kimi Tarif Ediyor? oyununun eğitsel oyun olarak nitelendirilebileceğine karar verilmiştir.
