We will pay relatively little attention to specific games mature for playful manifestation of infantile universe.The second step was to invite grandparents and parents dressed in traditional clothes in school activities for description of traditional games and toys from their childhood. Local research by school teachers regarding the content and methods of local traditional game rules specific to our region.
