This research examines the effect of physical activities based on peer collaboration over young children`s pro-social competence. Participants of this study consisted of 40 5 year-old children. They were evenly divided into a experimental group and a control group. The experimental group participated in physical activities based on peer collaborations for 8 weeks. On the other hand, the compare group participated in traditional individual psychical activities. According to the results, meaningful statistical differences appeared in pro-social competence of the children in the experimental group. The children in experimental group demonstrated higher scores on control competence, interpersonal relational competence, and preschool school adaptive competence than those in the comparative group did.
