Summary/Abstract: This announcement acquaints us with new and interesting material in a little known sphere of national culture-children's games. The data on them were collected from around the Village of Asparuhovo, Varna district. The author comes to the conclusion that the games were played at a given place and a given time of the year and the day. These games developed the deftness of children and their thinking, forming definite relationships between them. The children's games reflected their psyche, their conceptions of friendship, mutual help, equality and fairness. That is why the children's games to this day remain an important factor in bringing up the younger generations.
