The purpose of this study is to form a comprehensive program that adapts multiple intelligence theory that can develop various talents to the Korean folk play that repeats organic process of body while all children play and have fun. In addition, this study adapts this Korean folk play programs based on the multiple intelligence theory to the elementary school physical education class to verify the effect of the program on the intrinsic motivation and physical education class satisfaction. By doing so, this study will be able to provide a basic document for comprehensive physical education class for every student with different level of intelligence. The study result is as follows. First, the Korean folk play programs based on the multiple intelligence theory improved the level of intrinsic motivation of the elementary school students. By sub-categories of the intrinsic motivation, the experiment group showed significant difference (p<.01) in the factors of ‘effort-importance’, ‘competency’, and ‘interest-fun’ while there was no significant difference in the factor of ‘tension-pressure’. The control group showed significant difference (p<.01) only for the factor of ‘interest-fun’. Second, the Korean folk play programs based on the multiple intelligence theory improved the satisfaction level of the physical education class. By sub-categories of the satisfaction level of the physical education class, the experiment group showed significant difference (p<.01) in the factors of ‘psychological satisfaction’, ‘educational satisfaction’, and ‘physical satisfaction’. However, the control group showed significant difference (p<.01) only for the factor of ‘physical satisfaction’. The result shows that both the intrinsic motivation and physical education class were improved when they had the physical education classes with the Korean folk play programs based on the multiple intelligence theory. Therefore, it is considered that the multiple intelligence theory has a sufficient value as a method of the physical education class. The multiple intelligence theory claims that each areas of human intelligence all have the same value without one being better than others. When it is adapted to the physical education, many students with variety of talents displayed their own talents and positively cooperated with each other without anyone being neglected and formed their confidence and self-respect. As they continuously do those activities that brought them with positive recognition and experience, they could strengthen their intrinsic motivation and improved the satisfaction level of the physical education class. This researcher estimates that the physical education class based on the multiple intelligence theory will improve the problem of estrangement of the students with poorer physical ability and contribute to raising a well-rounded person as it balances knowledge, virtue, and physique of all students. Therefore, there should be continuous researches on various physical education classes based on comprehensive multiple intelligence theory to improve the quality of elementary school physical education as well as to achieve the educational purpose.
