The purpose of this study is to consider the influence which the different age exchange in after-school care has on a lower grade child's physical strength. The subjects were 39 of the lower grade children of elementary school who belong to after-school care in Suzuka. Three times of physical strength and fitness test were performed to the subjects during the consultation period containing a summer vacation. The test of physical strength and fitness performed 20m dash, a dodge ball throw, and standing long jumps. Participant observation consisting mainly of play and different age exchange was carried out during the summer vacation. Moreover, All the subjects answered a questionnaire about play and different age exchange. As a result, it sets to participant observation, Play of 21 kind (an outdoor 6 kind, an indoor 16 kind) was observed, among those 26.6 % (outdoor 27.3 %, indoor 28.1 %) was a group of different age. About a test of physical strength and fitness, the difference significant after consultation period was not seen. Moreover, the significant difference was not seen by comparison between groups, either. By comparison of the number of the play in different age exchange, standing long jump record was significantly higher in the higher group than the lower group (p<0.05). In conclusion, it is thought that it is important for lower grade children of elementary school to experience and routinize various playing outside because of growth of mind and body. When clubs for after school activities for children are considered as a place of a life, I think that it is possible for it to concern itself with establishment of the right lifestyle, the production of a friend, and experience of various playing outside, and the possibility of being able to do in after-school care increases greatly.
