Abstract

The child’s play is a basic form of activity aimed at expressing children’s interests and the feeling of pleasure. By playing, children explore the environment and get their first-hand impressions of nature and its inimitable ways, which broadens their knowledge and experience. Throughout the game, as a child matures he develops his senses and emotions, gains independence, self-reliance and social maturity. It enriches his experience base, becoming the child’s inseparable companion throughout the childhood. This paper provides an insight into the influence of elementary games on the psychophysical development of school children, as well as some guidelines for teaching methods as a necessary prerequisite for the successful implementation of elementary games
