Abstract:

The aim of the study was to describe and interpret the results of the survey and, based on them, in the end to present the areas of games and game activities that will form one of the starting points for the creation of methodological material within the framework of the solution of the KEGA project no. 001UMB-4. The aim of the survey was to find out the opinions of parents and kindergarten teachers about the abilities of 2-year-old children in nine areas of personality development and to describe them statistically from the most to the least occurring in these children. The survey method was a questionnaire personally administered to 70 respondents who assessed the abilities of 35 two-year-old children. The findings show that some abilities are developed by more than 90% of the assessed children, while others occur in only a few of them. In most children, the expected abilities are present. If the respondents recognized the occurrence of certain abilities in children in more than 50%, games and play activities will be created for their development. We consider specific findings and their practical use to be the main contribution of the survey and of this study.
