The investigation randomly chooses two kindergartens in Changsha, Hunan, which have two parallel classes of junior kindergarten, higher kindergarten class and senior kindergarten class. That is to say, investigated kindergartens have two classes with the same age, one is Experiment Class and the other is Comparative Class. The number of the Experiment Class and Comparative Class of senior, junior and primary level amounts to30respectively with the age of3-4,4-5,5-6. There are altogether195children with the age of three to six as the test objects. The Experiment Class takes the training activities of creative thinking games twice a week, while Comparative Class still organize the daily activity as the original plan not taking the training.The experiment used Picture Test A of TTCT as test tool and employed the Independent-Samples T Test and Univariate of SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version17.0)to explore differences of children creative thinking, children age and gender prior to and post the experiment. The relative results are as follows:①The training of creative thinking games is effective for the children (three to six years) creative thinking cultivation.②Children (three to six years) creative thinking ability progresses along with the growth of age, senior kindergarten class and junior kindergarten class have a greater improve than senior kindergarten class and primary kindergarten class.③Children (three to six years) creative thinking ability has no gender difference.④The development of children (three to six years) creative thinking ability can be affected by many factors, among which the main5factors involve education concept, teacher’s professional standard, teaching method, class scale as well as social environment.The experiment results prove that the implementation of creative thinking games courses has positive effects on children (three to six years) creative thinking.
