The purpose of the present research was to examine the effect of school games on physical, relational, and verbal aggression in 10-14 year old intellectually disabled girls. The population of this survey consisted of 100 intellectually disabled 10-14 year old girls of whom 80 were randomly selected and assigned to an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected using the questionnaire and were analyzed in SPSS using independent and dependent t-tests. The pretest results showed that there were no significant difference between the groups. A significant difference was observed between the pretest and posttest scores of the experimental group in overall aggression, physical aggression, relational aggression, and verbal aggression (P < 0.05).The results of dependent t-test indicated that playing school games significantly improved aggression in the experimental group, whereas no significant differences were observed in the control group.
