Elementary games for preschool children in physical education

Igra je vrlo rado prihvaćena kod djece zato što putem nje dijete zadovoljava svoje potrebe za kretanjem i za društvenim životom. Promatranjem djece i njihove velike radosti dok se u igri koriste osnovnim pokretima izrađen je veliki broj elementarnih igara prilagođen satovima tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture. Koristeći razne metode rada, poput metode demonstracije ili imitacije, odgojitelj se približava djetetu i njegovom načinu razmišljanja. Na satu tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture odgojitelj bira koja će se elementarna igra koristiti, ovisno o cilju koji se misli postići igrom, kao i zadatka koji je potrebno realizirati tom prilikom. Cilj elementarnih igara je prvenstveno razvoj i održanje motoričkih i funkcionalnih sposobnosti. Prilikom izbora igara potrebno je paziti da su primijenjene dječjem uzrastu i antropološkim karakteristikama djece. Također djeci treba dopustiti da igru sama nadograde, da izmisle nešto novo, ali prije svega da uživaju u njoj.Games are very gladly accepted by children because through them a child satisfies his or her need for movement and social life. Looking at children and their great happiness while using elementary movements in games has led the creation of a large number of elementary games adequate for physical education lessons. Using different working methods of demonstration or imitation, the preschool teacher approaches the child and his or her way of thinking. During the physical education lessons, the preschool teacher chooses which elementary game to use depending on the aim to be achieved by it and the tasks to be realized on the occasion. The elementary games' aim is primarily to develop and maintain the motor and functional abilities. When choosing the games, it is important to pay attention for them to be adequate to the children's age and their anthropological characteristics. Children should also be given the opportunity to upgrade the games themselves, to make up something new, and, first of all, to enjoy in them
