The relevance of the article is due to important changes that occur in the child's life because of a change in his social status. A child’s readiness for schooling equally depends on the child’s physiological, social and mental development. These are not different types of readiness for school, this is a holistic education, reflecting the individual level of the child development at the beginning of learning at school. Psychological readiness is formed in a game. A game has a huge impact on the development of the personality side of the child’s mind; the sphere of motives and needs changes: an important motive arises and it is realized in the game – the desire to become an adult, to become a student, to follow the student's rules of behavior, to have his rights and duties. If the child has not mastered enough different kinds of games, he will not be able to study well and without stress. There are major changes in the psyche of the child in the game, the main forms of relations with other people are formed, and preparations are made for a new, more complex activity – learning.
