Özet:

The main purpose of the study is to enable the secondary school sample group students to play their own rules and to introduce the game to how the 58-hole ancient plate game made of terracotta can be played, which is exhibited in Kayseri Museum, which is not known exactly what it is used for even though it is a game in the literature, and where there is no definite finding about how it is played in researches. In the study where the convergent parallel design, which is a model of the mixed research method, is used; students' sense of curiosity was strengthened, their knowledge of cultural responsibilities was increased, the presence of play toys in museums and awareness of Kültepe archaeology were created, and the ground was prepared for students to learn by living and having fun. By allowing them to set rules for a game they have never known; the awareness was created to use 21st century skills such as research, inquiry, problem solving, responsibility, entrepreneurship, productivity, communication and cooperation. This project, which includes a school and an ancient game, is expected to be modeled on other ancient games by taking a sample to bring other ancient games to light. It will be appropriate to propose the current versions of the detected ancient games to the provincial cultural inventories locally by following them. It has been proposed that 58-hole and similar ancient games should be taught and disseminated by introducing them to more students and individuals by conducting workshops in provinces, museums and archaeological sites.
