Currently, the difficulties and problems associated with the learning process, caused by the insufficient level of attention development in younger schoolchildren, raise justified concerns among educators and their parents. The purpose of the study is to create and examine pedagogical conditions for the development of attention in younger schoolchildren through the means of physical games. Research methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. Research results and conclusions. Complexes of physical games aimed at the predominant development of specific attention properties were developed, selected, and adapted, and underwent experimental verification in five general educational institutions with students of the 2nd grade. It has been proven that regular participation in physical games not only enhances motor skills and abilities but also contributes to more productive mental development. At the end of the experiment, the level of various attention characteristics among the younger schoolchildren in the experimental group was statistically higher.
