Abstract

The goal of this research was to examine the contribution of traditional games to the quality of relations and to the frequency of students' socialization in primary education. A modified version of the School Violence Questionnaire was implemented on a sample of 232 students in the second, third and fourth grades in four primary schools in Karlovac. The first testing determined the quality of students' relations and the frequency of their socialization. After applying the traditional games, in June 2010, a final test was implemented. Two hypotheses assumed the existence of a statistically significant difference in the quality of relations and the frequency of students' socializations before and after the implementation of traditional games. The research results have shown an improvement of human relations between students in class, and an increase of students' socialization outside classes, after implementing traditional games in school.
