The pre-school period plays an important role in the development of children’s behavior and social skills. The behavior arrangement and social skills children gain in this period are important for them to be healthy, productive, happy and in harmony with society in the years ahead. The aim of this research is to study the impact of the Drama Education Program based on the Picture Card and Story Complementation on the behavior and social skills of five-year-olds. For this purpose, research methods have been used. The study included 16 children (5 girls and 11 boys) and 20 children (12 girls and 8 boys) in the test group. Before the training program was implemented, pre-tests were made, the program was implemented, the latest tests were made and the monitoring test was made to the experiment group. Nicel data is collected with the Child Behavior Assessment Scale. The tests used non-parametric group and inter-group comparison tests (Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon Signed Sequences). For the quality data of the study, a semi-configured interview with the experimental group guardians, the school administration, the experimental group children and the control group teacher was held. Confidence is provided for independent observers for quality data. The research results showed that both groups had similar behavior regulation and social skills at the beginning, while they had progress at the final test stage. This development has been higher in the experimental group applied by the Picture Card and Story Complementation Based Drama Training Program.
