This article aims at finding out math teachers' (N =44) and math teacher trainees' (N =226) views concerning how to make use of games that are considered not only as a tool and method in teaching but also as structures in which several other tools and methods are put together. In accordance with the purpose of this study, various educational games were prepared and presented to some of the teachers in the sample. The data were gathered by means of a preknowledge form in which there are 6 open-ended questions and a questionnaire (the reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was found to be 0,84 with SPSS) which has two parts. The first part includes preference items and the second one has 5 point Likert type items. Furthermore, educational mathematics games developed by a group of teacher trainees were analyzed. The findings have revealed that both teachers' and teacher trainees' have limited knowledge about the research subject. In addition, teachers to whom the games were presented finally have more positive views.
