Abstract

Traditional children’s games occupy one of the most significant places in the ethnopedagogical study of education in the domain of traditional culture. Games in folk pedagogy have introduced the essence of folk customs to children, and have helped to achieve adjustment in behavior according to the established rules. Games have comprised the basic content of youth’s secondary socialization. The work gives ethnopedagogical descriptions of the traditional children’s games collected within a field research on the area of several settlements on the mountain of Majevica in the North-East Bosnia. The games described in this work are: the ‘’treska’’, the ‘’titaraka’’, the game of stones, the game of cannons, the game of houses, the game of whirligig, the game of ‘’baće’’, the game of ‘’piriz’’, the hide-and-seek game, and the game of babies.
