The purpose of this study is to draw guidelines on how to select traditional games that would
efficiently help and develop multiple intelligences in children. Guidelines standard of section inquiries
were prepared through a Delphi survey targeting twenty experts in early childhood education and
traditional games. As a result, linguistic intelligence questions regarding writing, listening, speaking
and vocabulary acquisition were selected. logical-mathematical intelligence questions regarding
strategy, counting, patterns, hypothesis, verification, and comparing, contrasting, calculating ability
were selected. Spatial intelligence questions regarding drawing, coloring, representation activities,
operating and creating were selected, physical performance intelligence questions regarding global
muscles, eye-hand coordination, flexibility, accommodation force, balance, agility and muscular
strength were selected. Musical intelligence included questions about singing, and playing musical
instruments. Interpersonal intelligence included perspective-taking, role-sharing, cooperation and
discussion. For intrapersonal intelligence questions regarding personal significance-ties,
planning-decision making, emotional expression and problem solving were selected. Finally, in
relation to naturalist intelligence, questions regarding living organisms, inanimate objects and
seasons were selected. In addition, traditional games were analyzed based on the finalized guidelines,
and the results showed that each of the traditional games would not only work with one intelligence
at a time but with other different intelligence as well. In the light of that, the study confirmed the
validity of the guidelines on how to select traditional games that would develop multiple intelligences
in children.
