The purpose of this study is to find out the most desirable exercise program model for the promotion of mental health of the children, and also suggest the composition and contents of that on the basis of consideration about relating preceding studies on exercise program models for mental health applied from "TOEGYE`S HWALINSIMBANG", which is unique korean traditional method of mental health promotion as one of the contributable methods for mental health promotion for the children in the aspects of welfare. First, on the results of execution of exercise program models for mental health applied from "TOEGYE`S HWALINSIMBANG" which is composed of three stages of warming-up (meditation), main exercise ("JUNGWHATANG", "WHANGIWHANIN"), cooling-down ("GEOBEONGYEONSUYUKJAGYEOL"), participating group`s two indercators of depression, obessive-compulsive in the midst of five lower-indercators of mental health, showed more decline than those of non-participating group. Second, on the results of execution of exercise program models for mental health applied from "TOEGYE`S HWALINSIMBANG" based on relating preceding studies, three exercise program models commonly suggested as basic contents "JUNGWHATANG", "WHANGIWHANIN" for mental health promotion for the children.
