NTRODUCTION
Preschool age is considered to be a very
important period of human development, and
during this period, the ground is created for the
child to acquire the necessary knowledge and
skills, and develop as a person. This places many
responsibilities on parents and educators. At this
age, as the child's ability to act independently
increases, his desire to learn things and events
around him increases. The game is important in
the very interesting and strange process for
children, such as understanding the world,
interest in understanding things and events.
According to V.S. Mukhina, the game situation and
actions in it have a permanent effect on the
development of the child's mental activity. The
game helps the child to think in terms of ideas.

The game, as a reflection of social life, has a great
impact on the comprehensive development of the
child. According to A.A. Kadyrov, children learn
the norms of collective life in practice: giving in to
a friend, sharing materials with each other,
controlling oneself (thoughts) at the right time,
showing sensitivity. They have a desire to exert
collective influence on the behavior of their
comrades who have broken the discipline with
their own strength. In the game, the child begins
to feel himself as a member of the team, his
actions are fairly evaluated by the behavior of his
friends.
So, the leading activity of children of this age is
play, and games can be divided into three:
1) object games;
2) plot role-playing games;
3) games with rules.The game activity of children
at this age is not focused on the production of
some material products, but the content of
various actions in the game process is important.
In the course of the game, they are free to do
whatever they want, turning the things they have
at their disposal into things that interest them but
belong only to adults. Children's play activities
are the only means for their harmonious physical
and mental development. It should be noted that
children's play is not only a means of learning
about the external environment, but also an
important and powerful means of education. In
this process, the organization of creative, role-
playing and didactic games by educators serves to
form children's individual characteristics
together with all mental processes.
Therefore, the effectiveness of educational work
in the kindergarten depends to a large extent on
the game activities organized by the educators, on
how much they are aimed at the mental
development of children and their formation as
individuals. It is worth noting that the game is not
something created in the imagination of children,
on the contrary, the imagination of children is a
mental process that arises and develops during
the game.
Professor Elkonin D.B., who worked on the issues
of game psychology and its influence on the
child's mental development. According to the
results of Elkonin's research, the child's behavior
in game activities has an intermediate character
and gradually begins to acquire the character of
mental actions according to the importance of
objects.
That is, through games with objects and
constructors, children's perception, memory,
imagination, thinking processes develop, and the
characteristics necessary for school education are
improved. In a large group of children, the
construction game begins to turn into a labor
activity, in the process of such games, the child
makes, creates, builds some things that will be
needed in life. With the help of these games, they
acquire simple work skills and competencies, and
their practical thinking begins to actively develop.
Through the construction game, they master the
functions of many household appliances and
objects. Children develop the ability to plan their
actions, purposeful actions and thought
operations, imagination and imagination develop,
and voluntary attention and fluency, which are

important for learning at a young school age,
develop.
In the pre-school age, lack of play activities can
cause a number of problems in the child's mental
development. The results of Ye.O. Smirnova, who
conducted research in this regard, are important.
According to the scientist, the direct consequence
of the lack of play is a whole set of problems in the
development of modern children, highlighted by
psychologists and teachers. Among them are the
situational nature of behavior, dependence on
adults and the environment, the impossibility of
self-organization of children, lack of imagination
and internal action plan, underdevelopment of
the
will,
difficulties
in
communication,
meaningless communication, underdevelopment
of motivational abilities. are like These qualities
and abilities in preschool age are formed and
developed in the game, so its absence (or
primitive level) leads to deformation of the
development of these basic personal formations.
Team games play an important role in a child's
learning of social behavior norms. Because, in
such games, students try to fulfill their role well,
but also try not to deviate from the general
content of the game. Most importantly, the role-
based team game requires them to obey the strict
rules of the game and perform certain tasks
correctly. Such games educate and develop other
positive feelings in children, such as
determination, willpower, politeness, obedience
to the rules of the game, discipline, support of
friends, teamwork, friendship. It also teaches that
it is possible to win as well as lose a game.
Many hidden psychological problems can be
solved at the subconscious level by the role-
playing games organized by educators on
different topics, by children playing different
roles, that is, by identifying them with characters.
Role-playing games are also necessary because
children distinguish the roles and rules that are
built in these relationships, and their friends in
the game strictly monitor their implementation
and try to follow them themselves. Story-role
games serve as a basis for children to adequately
master the values, customs and gender roles
characteristic of our nation.During the game,
drawing pictures for children based on the
selected topic or based on the told fairy tales,
stories, helps them to further develop their
imagination, imagination and thinking processes.
Little by little, children begin to draw what they
know, what they remember, and what they come
up with, in addition to describing what they see.
Games organized in the form of competition have
a special place in the child's mental development,
and the achievement and victory in it attract
children and give them emotional upliftment. A
positive emotional state will definitely have an
effective effect on strengthening the results we
expect. According to psychologists, children's
motivation to achieve success is formed and
strengthened in such games. In this case, it is
important to encourage each child individually,
the child will feel satisfied with the result of his
activity and create a solid foundation for the
leading activities in the next age.

In conclusion, it can be said that game activity
prepares children for learning activity, which is a
necessary form of mastering the social experience
of humanity. A child cannot master social
experience suddenly or by chance. For this, first
of all, it is necessary for the child to acquire a
sufficient level of speech, to have certain skills,
studies and simple concepts. A child of preschool
age achieves all this through the purposefully
organized play activities of educators and
parents.
