The educational process is an organized joint activity of teachers and students. The aim of this process is to achieve educational outcomes and expectations. In didactics, the term 'teaching' is also used, but today students attend numerous extracurricular activities that are also part of the educational process. To ease the transition between kindergarten and school for children, there are various educational games that can help and engage students in achieving educational outcomes and expectations. Play is a source of new insights into children's experiences, life, and development. It encourages the development of imagination and creativity, facilitates making friendships, and connects the environment (Romih, 2021). The aim of this work is to present various examples of educational or didactic games that can be used in classroom teaching. The task of didactic games in teaching is to make educational content easier, motivate and engage students in participation and activity, and make the class dynamic. Thanks to their harmony, pleasantness, and rhythm, didactic games enable students to acquire a greater amount of information without feeling fatigued (Ceković et al., 2013). Numerous studies indicate the effectiveness of using games in teaching. Students who were part of experiments supporting this showed interest in acquiring educational content, developing writing, reading, addition, subtraction, and critical thinking skills, independently reaching conclusions, and respecting rules and other people's opinions. It has been shown that play creates a pleasant environment, reduces the burden on students, and through it, students become more interested in the educational process and teaching content.
