Using qualitative methods of participant observation, in-depth interviewing and documentation, this research explored the meaning of physical environment and children"s free-choice activities. Thirty one four years children in public kindergarten classroom were observed during free-choice activity time. Physical environment of the classroom was structured by activity centers. But the play materials offered in each centers were not enough and not in balance. Analysis revealed that the lack of play materials and play spaces caused limited play subjects and limited play choice for the children. Also, it caused children"s negative behaviors such as arguing, struggling with peers, breaking the materials etc. The results identified that teachers must offer enough materials and various activities to insure maximum values of free-choice activity time. Also, teacher"s careful observation and assessment of each child"s needs and interest should be reflected on structuring physical environment and preparing materials.
