This study validates a scale to evaluate the educational value of traditional musical games (TMGs) in primary school. Using a mixed-methods approach, it integrates social psychology theories (contact theory, cultural values theory, and attitude theory) with quantitative methods (exploratory factor analysis, parallel analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis) on a sample of 276 students. The resulting 18-item scale, grouped into four subscales (Right to Play, Fun and Preferences, Choice of Game Partners, Emotion and Inclusion), demonstrates the need for effective tools to measure TMGs' educational impact and offers insights into their role in social, physical, emotional, and cognitive development.
