THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF DIDACTIC GAMES IN PRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATION

Abstract

 In modern primary education, increasing students’ engagement and improving learning outcomes remain key priorities. One effective approach to achieving these goals is the use of didactic games in the classroom. Didactic games create an interactive and enjoyable learning environment, allowing young learners to acquire knowledge in a natural and meaningful way. This article explores the role and significance of didactic games in primary school education, particularly their impact on students’ motivation, participation, and cognitive development. The study highlights how game-based activities support the development of logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and social interaction among learners. The findings suggest that integrating didactic games into classroom instruction enhances lesson effectiveness and fosters a positive attitude toward learning.
