Game activity is an important way for a person to learn about the surrounding reality, one of the most accessible ways to master knowledge, skills, and abilities.

The rules of the games require the child to be focused, active thinking, quick reaction, or the ability to inhibit. This forces the child to carry out game actions, making choices in accordance with the game task, adhering to the requirements of the content and rules of the game. In such a variety of activities, the child develops intellectual abilities. In speech therapy, the following methodological techniques for conducting games in the process of correcting sound pronunciation in children with dyslalia are practiced: pair work, taking into account the peculiarities of children's psychophysical development, encouraging activity, observing time limits, predicting the most typical errors in speech and preventing them, and preliminary planning of the game.
