Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the pedagogical, psychological, and methodological potential of national games in forming a healthy lifestyle among primary school students. The study scientifically examines the role of national games in physical development, motor activity, social competencies, and the formation of healthy habits. Additionally, a comparative analysis with the experiences of developed countries (Finland, Japan, South Korea, and the USA) is conducted, and effective models for integrating national games into physical education lessons are proposed.
