Psychological issues of preschool game
Abstract
The author proves that in the process of playing not only develop individual mental functions, but also there is a change in the psyche of the child as a whole. The article shows that the game at preschool age develops from imitation-procedural games through dramatic games with hidden rules to games with open rules without a plot. This psychological and pedagogical principle underlies the distribution of games by age in the preschool period of child development. These facts allow you to determine the starting points for pedagogical guidance of the game.
