Experimental, observational, and comparative methods were used in the study. The results demonstrate the high effectiveness of didactic games as a means of activating cognitive activity and fostering a lasting interest in nature. In conclusion, methodological recommendations are offered for the implementation of gaming technologies in preschool education.
