The article deals with the use of gaming methods of children's development. The authors made an attempt to substantiate the problems of the use of gaming technologies in the educational process in a school environment, as well as to identify ways to improve the educational process through the introduction of gaming methods of training. Gaming methods in the development of children are considered as a tool for manipulating children to stimulate their cognitive activity. The authors come to the conclusion that games can have a significant effect on the development of children. One of the ways to improve the effectiveness of gaming methods of learning is to improve the qualifications of teachers.
