Summary/Abstract: Games known throughout the history of humanity are among the elements that make up the unique traditional culture of almost every society. The game has different effects on both adults and children. This type of entertainment has positive aspects on the way of being an individual, especially on child development. As it is known, the socialization of the individual begins in childhood. The child acquires both physical and mental development through this socialization environment. Therefore, the child's ability to communicate in a healthy way, to develop a sense of empathy, to accelerate his speaking skills and to acquire certain social values such as being a good individual is provided by some elements. One of the elements that help these elements is undoubtedly games. This is possible primarily with the associations provided in childhood. Because the child's first education begins with the family, diversifies and enriches with what he observes from his environment, and continues throughout his life with what he learned at school. These bonds and all relations that the child establishes with his environment also contribute to his socialization. In summary, socialization first begins in childhood and continues on the path of being an individual until the end of his life. In the study, ten different children's games that we determined as a result of the compilations made with Iraqi Turkmens were evaluated. In the evaluation in question, the names of the games were examined formally and how the game was played and its scope were discussed. It has been determined that mostly the games overlap with the games in Turkey. In addition, the existence of some unknown games in Turkey has also been revealed.
