With the development of society, the lifestyle changed, but the game remained an integral part of children's activities. Today, the child is the center of the world, everything is subordinated to his needs and interests, while earlier childhood was seen as a passing period of life. Although games have been represented since ancient times until today, there are visible differences in children's interests, types of games and ways of playing. In the past, children spent their free time on the streets with their peers making props for some of the games on their own. In the Middle Ages, children played with numerous toys: clay horses, armed soldiers, bows and arrows. During the Renaissance, there were a large number of craftsmen and they made various toys. They were imitations of weapons and some things that mainly housewives used, all of course in smaller sizes or shapes. When we talk about prehistoric times and the invention of toys, there is no concrete data. At that time they were usually made of wood. Wood, as a natural material, quickly rots in the ground, and therefore toys originating from the earliest days of human existence could not be preserved. The goal of this paper is empirical overlook of children's game as a base for improvment of children's development in educational activities from the younger, primary school students' perspective. The research will be conducted among younger students who will point out the importance of children's games from their own perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
