Abstract

The class of physical education is of the essence for the physical, motor and social development of children. Psychomotricity, motor skills and motor qualities can be developed with the methods applied in the physical education class. In the case of preschool age, a primary objective of the physical education class is the development of psychomotricity. This is the reason why the present undertaking targets the development of several psychomotricity components through motion games during the physical education class. During a semester, we applied a syllabus based on the method of motion games. The subjects in the research were assessed with the help of Ozeretski - Guillmain prior and after testing. After the application of the proposed syllabus, an improvement in the test indices has been observed, a significant percentage of subjects advancing towards slight psychomotor inability.
