The aim of this study was to verify the hypothesis that the experience of interacting with children of different ages and carrying out group activities with them during school child age, where development of social skills is very conspicuous, contributes to the learning of social skills. For this, a study was conducted on junior high schools students (55 male and female) to investigate the relationship between experience in multiage group activities during elementary school age and the learning of social skills from the viewpoint of experience in participating in junior sports groups and the relationship behavior with others. An analysis of the survey results clarified the following points, which partially support the hypothesis. 1. Participation in junior sports groups during the school child age reduces actions which avoid interaction with others and isolation from others. 2. Girls show fewer actions which impair relations with others, and have a variety of actions which promote and reinforce relationships. 3. The effects of experience in participating in junior sports groups on actions to promote relationships are less for the youngest child in the family.
