The application design of entertainment and learning content for children has been a growing sector since the tablets and app stores become popular. There are dozens of new applications being added in app stores every day, but few of them can offer children a meaningful fun or learning through fun experience. The graphical user interface, which is the visual layer where all the in- teraction between the child and the game takes place, is one of the most important factors in the effectiveness of the games in question. When the literature in this area is examined, it is observed that the importance of graphical user interface design has been overlooked in terms of usability in applications. By using the descriptive research method, this article examines how a graphical user interface design can enrich the usability and entertainment, which will enable the use of games and games with learning contents for children. In this respect, a general framework is drawn about the elements of age-appropriate design, visual representation, colors and typography, which provides the entertainment and usability in children-oriented applications. These elements are examined with examples from the target age group and suggestions are made.

Tablet cihazlar ve uygulama depolarının yaygınlaşması ile birlikte, çocuklara yönelik eğlenme ve öğrenme içerikli uygulama tasarımı katlanarak büyüyen bir alan olmuştur. Bu alanda uygulama depolarına her geçen gün onlarca uygulama katılmakta, ancak bunlardan çok azı çocuklara anlamlı bir eğlenme ya da eğlenerek öğrenme deneyimi sunabilmektedir. Çocuk ile oyun arasında tüm etkileşimin gerçekleştiği görsel katman olan grafik kullanıcı arayüzü, söz konusu oyunların etkinliği sağlamada en önemli unsurlardan biridir. Bu alandaki literatür incelendiğinde grafik kullanıcı arayüzünün çocuklar için tasarlanan uygulamalarda kullanılabilirlik açısından öneminin göz ardı edildiği görülmektedir. Bu makalede, betimsel yöntem kullanılarak nasıl bir grafik kullanıcı arayüzü tasarımının 6-8 yaş arası çocuklara yönelik uygulamaların kullanılabilir olmasını sağlayacağı araştırılmış, grafik kullanıcı arayüzünde eğlenme ve öğrenme deneyimini zenginleştiren unsurlar incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda 6-8 yaş arası çocuklara yönelik oyun ve oyunla öğrenme uygulamalarında dikkate alınması gereken; yaşa uygun tasarım, görsel temsil, renk ve tipografi unsurları ile ilgili alanyazına dayalı bir çerçeve oluşturulmuştur. Bu unsurlar hedef yaş grubuna yönelik uygulamalardan örneklerle incelenmiş ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
