Abstract

The role and significance of Uzbek folk games in the process of physical education of junior schoolchildren is described. The possibilities of national games as one of the effective and significant factors in raising children are analyzed. A description is given of the complex use of outdoor games in the context of the formation of a harmoniously developed, physically healthy and socially active personality of primary school students in educational institutions. The conducted research is aimed at justifying the use of national games as a variable part of a physical education lesson, in the format of a national-regional component. The study revealed that Uzbek folk outdoor games have great opportunities not only for the development of motor abilities, education of physical and moral-volitional qualities, but also for the formation of a culture of interethnic communication. Children of different nationalities, participating in folk games and relay races, share their impressions, communicate with each other, complete game tasks and make joint efforts to achieve the goal of the game. Based on the results of an experimental study, conclusions were drawn about the practical significance of using folk games in physical education, with an emphasis on the dynamics of children’s motor readiness.
