Summary/Abstract: In this study, it is aimed to examine new approaches in theater-based education modeling. As is known, theater forms the conceptual basis of the word theater, naturally, theatrical also forms the basis of the conceptual framework related to theater. Experiential learning strategy also becomes an important feature in theater-based learning, as the intellectual is poured into the field of practice and the principle of learning by living by doing in person is at the forefront. The experiential learning strategy allows children to directly experience information as it is by touching, smelling, talking, feeling, seeing. With experiential learning strategies and learning principles, a game-within-a-game perspective is adopted, not education-within-agame. This situation is also related to the fact that the game is actually a tool, not a goal, in achieving education. The goal of an educational game is not to entertain the student, but to make him learn while having fun. The purpose of theatrical-based educational modeling is also realized in this direction.
