The word game derives from proto-Slavic language, whilst in old Slavic language it became more similar to its present term. Game is an everyday activity of all living creatures, including human beings. A man can play games all his life, but throughout childhood game has a special role. Game meets an inner need of a child for an activity that fulfills him with contentment, pleasure and joy. During spontaneous games children obtain their first knowledge and primary skills they will need throughout life. An important skill children learn is speech. Speech is a sound realization of language by which we express our wishes, needs, emotions, opinions and attitudes about the world around us. Language games have an important role in speech development of a child. They help form pronunciation, extend vocabulary and teach children to freely express themselves. Language games can be defined as a space in which children and adults release themselves in their own language and enjoy intuitively overcoming rules whilst acquiring the ability of deciding whether they will obey or break those rules. (Peti-Stantić, 2009.) Advantages of language games are that they can be carried out anywhere and anytime, they are simple to conduct and with them the child is learning in a spontaneous way. Learning through games is an important development process of a child, so consequently, an important element of comunicational-functional approach is didactic game with a primary function to teach. Educators have an important role in speech development of a child, who have to be language role models for children and provide them a quality speech content. The essential purpose and aim of this research was to examine parents and educators on whether language games help with the speech development of a child. Research was conducted by anonymous Internet questionnaire. 30 educators participated in the first research, whilst 32 parents of preschool and kindergarten children participated in the second research. Research has shown that language games help in the speech development of preschool children and that they are a good tool for working with children of preschool and kindergarten age because they learn something new in a fun way.
