Let $S_g$ be a closed oriented surface of genus $g$ and let $Mod(S_g)$ be the mapping class group. When the genus is at least 3, $Mod(S_g)$ can be generated by torsion elements. We prove the following results: For $g≥4$, $Mod(S_g)$ can be generated by four torsion elements. Three generators are involutions and the fourth one is an order three element. $Mod(S_3)$ can be generated by five torsion elements. Four generators are involutions and the fifth one is an order three element.
