Abstract
Coding education for elementary school student spreads around the world. Game activity that children like is one of coding education methods. Among these, a board game is a tool where 3~4 children can participate together. This study developed a storytelling-based board game to help elementary school students understand Software education. The board game is composed of board, three types of command cards and dice. This study simultaneously surveyed and interviewed 57 fifth- and sixth-grade students at elementary school after playing the board game 4 times so as to analyze the usefulness of the developed software board game. In the results of study, most of elementary school students would be interested and participated in active. Elementary school students actually got to know algorithm easily through board game activity, and learned basic programming concepts such as sequence, condition, loop, variable and operation.
