Summary/Abstract: Gamification approaches can be applied in many different areas. In this study, gamification education was conducted on control and experimental group parents for 7 weeks by using different activities each week. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were used in the research. 25 parents in the control group and 23 parents in the experimental group participated in the study. According to the results of the study, it was determined that the parents' intrinsic motivation towards gamification education was high. The study revealed that the parents felt happy and exciting as long as they participated in gamification education and at the same time, they changed their perspective. It also indicated that there was a significant difference in the communication between parents and their children through gamification education. In order to provide a different experience for their children, it was determined that parents integrated what they had learned with this education in daily life and been motivated in this way.
