Given that play is of great importance in early and preschool age, it should be represented as much as possible in children's physical activity. For a preschool teacher who is an expert in the field of upbringing and education, it is necessary to have a good knowledge of the specifics of certain periods of human development. With regard to the acquired knowledge, educators use selected kinesiologicy activities to manage the child's physical exercise process and activate their entire organism. All developmental periods have different characteristics that need to be taken into account due to the success in the educational process, physical exercise and positive impact on the child's health. From a kinesiology point of view, the early and preschool period of a child is manifested in the development of motor skills, morphological features, motor and functional abilities that experience intense changes. Therefore, the educator should apply appropriate motor games in this period in order to optimally influence the development of motor skills. This paper therefore studies the main developmental characteristics of preschool children, the division and importance of games, and the role of educators in the implementation and selection of appropriate kinesiology games and content. Motor abilities that can be influenced to a greater or lesser extent by regular physical exercise are also described in more detail, depending on the coefficient of innateness, gender and age. In addition to motor skills, emphasis is placed on determining the connection between games and their function in the development of these skills in preschool children. In order for each chosen game to manifest itself in a proper way, specific knowledge and abilities of the educator are needed. The contents of selected kinesiology games for children of early and preschool age are different motor structures that are in accordance with their age and capabilities. Because of this, they contribute to the significant motor development of the child.
