Abstract

Play is a leading activity in preschool age. Recognizing this statement in theory, in practice many teachers, unfortunately, often forget about it. They use purely didactic games during work with children. Manuals devoted to the teaching of reading often simply state the tasks, which only refer to play, but do not give examples of practical situations. Thus play is underutilized and its main components ( imaginary situation , role taking, substitutions ) are virtually absent. As a result the pedagogical process is more like a study in elementary school . Some children at 6 years of age can learn in the frame of such didactics, but children of 3–5 years can not gain developmental results without play. In the article educational games in the form of role-play didactics are presented.
