these games have a competitive nature. Games and
entertainment are always served the public duties as well; these
are educational, military, sport, ritual, entertaining and
aesthetic, communicational, etc.

provide communities with an opportunity to gather for a
festive occasion and to improve physical health, Kazakh
people developed these national sports and outdoor
games. Everyone, from young to old, participated in the
festivities and celebrations. During feasts, which were
rare in those days, people wanted to relax from strenuous
daily work by playing, competing or simply participating
in games as spectators.
Games served our forefathers as more than just fun and
entertainment. The competitions promoted the

approach, emphasizes first learning what to do, then how
to do it. Moreover, the games approach lets children
discover what to do in the game not by your telling them
but by their experiencing it. It is a guided discovery
