Reflection of Mythical Plots in Children's Game Folklore

It is known that the conscious beginning of the cultural life of any nation is rooted in a myth. From a historical point of view, myth is the first spiritual and cultural form of human consciousness and retains its leadership character to this day. The golden core of every culture is a value system fueled by a mythical worldview. In other words, a myth is a complex worldview closely related to the laws of formation of each culture. The myth depicts the inner spiritual movement of the conscious life of mankind and its relationship with the surrounding nature and the social environment. The myth is reflected in culture as a whole as a model of the world in human consciousness. Mythical narratives arise from the purpose of depicting the world, which raises various questions in people's minds, as compensation for the need to create a complete model by improving unfinished parts of the world that have not yet been "realized" by mythical consciousness. For example, he explains countless questions in his own way, for example, how heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, humanity and animals, and other natural phenomena appeared, thereby creating a mythical model of the world in human consciousness. The article shows that such a representation of real life is the main form of mythical consciousness. In addition, game elements in any myth are analyzed and described. The purpose and objective of the article are to distinguish mythical plots in children's game folklore and emphasise game elements. It is determined that the meaningful and structural commonality of the game with the myth is clearly visible, primarily in children's play.
