This research is widely topical due to the shift in Russia’s social, political and economic orientation to democratic values and market relations. This shift brought about changes in the social hierarchy of moral values and dramatically transformed educational goals and priorities at the current stage. It should be noted that federal state educational standards declare the active and focused educational work of the teacher with students as one of the most significant elements of upbringing, development and training in a modern primary school. This type of work is primarily aimed at the inculcation of morality and value orientations in students of primary school age. The significance of the purposeful personal morality formation at an earlier age is substantiated in psychological and pedagogical research works. An analysis of morality interpretations shows a discrepancy in the set of moralities that serve as the foundation for individual morality formation. This discrepancy leads to the blurring of the integral system of individual morality formation, which determines the topic of the research. Accordingly, the aim of the article is to highlight the basic set of moralities that underlie the formation of morality in primary school children. The leading approach in this case is the subject-developing approach. The approach explains development of the individual by achieving the level of the subject through the integrity of the external, internal and time. As a result of the research, the author of the article identifies three basic moral feelings that should be prioritized in primary school in an understandable for children form (kindness, beauty, love). The theoretical significance of the article is due to the contribution to the development of scientific ideas about the moral feelings of the individual, formed according to the age-related characteristics. The practical use of the research results allows us to inculcate morality in primary school students successfully.
