This study's aim is to shine a light on students' attitudes on board games in the leisure time centre. Do students in middle school know the social benefits of board games, and what resources do they need to experience board games? The study looks into students' attitude on the importance of an engaged teacher in leisure time centres and also an engaged adult person in other similar environments. Vygotsky's theories around mediation and proximal development are the foundation of the study and terms such as cognitive development and social development are central for the analysis. The empirics consists of pair interviews with ten (10) students in the age range 9-13 which has been analysed from a content analysis perspective. The conclusion is that the sociocultural perspectives’ different ideas are very much present while pupils play board games in the leisure time centre, and that there is a mainly positive attitude toward board games. However, the study cannot prove that students experience the same learning as studies prove exists.
