| Annotation: | The article is devoted to the relevance of studying children’s subculture and its role in the socialization of chil- dren, game traditions in children’s subculture. Various elements of children’s subculture are considered, including games, toys and children’s folklore. Particular attention is paid to game traditions that help children develop communication skills, assimilate cultural norms, and master social role and gender behavior. The preferences of modern children in games and toys, as well as the influence of urbanization and the media environment on these preferences are explored. The importance of taking into account children’s subculture in educational pro- cesses to improve the quality of education and upbringing is also discussed. Based on the results of a survey of representatives of dif- ferent age groups, partial preservation and at the same time transformation of the content of games and preferred toys is established depending on the social and economic situation. Children today still love active outdoor activities, but the digi- tal environment is beginning to have a greater influence on the choice of games and toys. Modern game preferences are formed under the influ- ence of the media industry and cultural changes, but a soft toy, doll, and family and store games, according to the sur- vey, remain relevant among children of the 21st century and among those whose childhood was in the second half of the 20th. Future teachers of preschool education partially understand the content of the children’s subculture phenom- enon; they can identify some elements based on their own gaming and active community experiences in childhood (in the early 2000s), but do not have a full-fledged scientific and methodological base for taking into account children’s sub- culture in the educational process to ensure comfortable and age-appropriate development of children. | ||
