The purpose of this study is to provide the implications and the direction for development of the children's game applications that are rapidly emerging as a children's play in modern society by analyzing in a Christian perspective. Under this purpose, through previous research, extracting eight fun factors based on Christian worldview that consists of the concept of creation, the fall, and redemption and three types of each item, 24 evaluation criteria in total, were selected for the analysis. 15 games in total were analyzed. Above all, through analysis training and preliminary analysis of 24 evaluation criteria selected for the analysis of the fun factors were performed by a group of experts consisting of one expert in childhood education and three experts under the doctoral course. An agreement among the analysts(.88) and reliability of the evaluation items(.78) were obtained. Then the 3 researchers processed and analyzed the data through the actual analysis by the average and percentage analyzed from 15 game applications. The results of study are as follows: first, in the christian evaluative analysis of the factors, a creative element was the highest. Second, an depraving element was rated higher than a redemptive fun factor in the game application for children. However, it showed a great difference from the creative element which was evaulated the highest. Third, a redemptive element ranked the lowest. Based on the results of the study, the implications and directions suggested are as follows: first, novelty and diversity of the creative fun factors should be strengthened in developing the children's game applications. Second, game applications for children should be developed in direction of ruling out the elements of corruption which bring addiction, violence and aggression which have negative impact on children. Third, interesting and high-quality christian game application for children which includes collaborative and participatory fun elements should be included in the content or structure so that the redemptive elements can be strengthened. Fourth, the education for christian teachers and parents should be made in order to have the discrete christian perspective on media contents children enjoy.
