This study was conducted to determine whether or not drama education causes any difference in the verbal-linguistic, mathematical-logical, visual-spatial, musical-rhythmic, bodily-kinaesthetic, intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences of children. The sample group of the study consisted of 46 children (23 children in the experimental group and 23 children in the control group) attending the first grades of an elementary school located in the Cankaya district of the city of Ankara. As a result of the study, it was determined that there was no significant difference between the children in the experimental and control groups in terms of their pretest and posttest mean scores of the subscales of verbal-linguistic, mathematical-logical, visual-spatial, musical-rhythmic, bodily-kinaesthetic, intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences in the Teele Inventory for Multiple Intelligences (p > .05). Regardless of the group, the difference between the pretest and posttest scores in the subscale of musical-rhythmic intelligence was significant (p < .05).
