In recent years, although information being integrated into the educational system is becoming increasingly widespread, however, the research information related to the applications of digital games in the after-school child care classes is relatively limited.This study specially designed a set of Chinese language teaching materials integrated with digital games and invited 11elementary school second graders, who participated in after-school programs, in Kaohsiung City to bethe subjectsof this study. In addition, they were asked to play the digital games for a period of 80 minutes in twoclasses.Afterwards, a comprehensive experiment was conducted based on a quasi-experimental design,single-group experiment, along with follow-up interviewsafter playing their digital games. And wherein, a variety of tests were performed to verify each subject’s sensorymemory, short-term memory, learning attitudescale test combining with various statisticalmethods, including the descriptivestatisticalanalysis, the correlation analysis, independent samples t-test, etc. Qualitative interviews were also conducted after the quantitative analysis. Hence, we obtained the following conclusions: A. There is a positive influence on the elementary school second graders' learning attitudes, while integrating digitalgamesinto teaching activitiesin the after-school child care classes; B.There is no gender differences in attitudes towards learning, while integrating digitalgamesinto teaching activitiesin the after-school child care classes; C.
