Its relevance is due to the priority areas of the Federal State Educational Standard of the Primary General Education, which task is to modernize school education, improve and update the content, forms, methods and pedagogical technologies in upbringing and education of children. The changes that are taking place in society at the present stage of its development give rise to new requirements for the education system of the younger generation. Determining the conditions for the development of children's personality, it is necessary to look for and find ways to stay comfortably in a team for each child. In this regard, we see the need to find ways to create conditions for the formation of communication skills and competences among children of primary school age.

The purpose of the article is to characterize the types of computer gaming technologies used in the educational process, to substantiate the appropriateness of using ready-made computer games and the creation of author's interactive games for the formation of communicative skills among primary school children, their use as a means of motivation and expansion of didactic opportunities in the educational process. In our study, the leading method of experimental work on the formation of children's communication skills by means of computer gaming technologies was an experiment consisting of diagnostic, forming and control stages. It showed that the use of computer gaming technologies as a didactic tool in working with children gives teachers the opportunity to form better communication skills among primary school students. This article has theoretical and practical significance, which is manifested in substantiating the effectiveness of the use of computer gaming technologies in the educational process for the formation of children's communication skills, which can serve as a methodological basis for further study of similar theoretical and practical issues. The model we have developed for the formation of children's communication skills is based on the principles of integrativity and interactivity, taking into account traditional and innovative forms of work with children. It can be used in primary school, in the development of educational documentation and methodological literature.

So, by the educational activity of primary school students, we mean an independent activity aimed at obtaining new knowledge, skills, methods of action and their practical application in situations of uncertainty, manifested in the acquisition of experience, having an objective or subjective novelty.

The relevance of this article is determined by the requirements of the federal state educational standard of primary general education, which focuses on the formation of soft skills in primary school students. Soft skills are important in the process of shaping a young student's personality, since they contribute to the development of critical perception of various sources of information, making non-standard decisions in a problematic situation, as well as the effective building of communication in teamwork. In the era of accelerated digitalization in education, the issue of the soft skills formation is of particular importance, since the need to build up social experience is increasing every year. As emphasized in the provisions of the federal state standard, soft skills are the basis for effective interaction with other people, which later ensures success in life. According to E.S. Ermakov, creativity and the ability to solve complex situational tasks are among the most significant competences for students in primary school. The purpose of this study is to diagnose and characterize the levels of formation of soft skills in primary school students. The article describes experimental and statistical data of the diagnosing stage of the pedagogical experiment, and also develops criteria, indicators and characteristics of the levels of soft skills formation in primary school students. The following methods were used in the course of the study: the original author's questionnaire "Is it necessary to develop soft skills?", the questionnaire to identify the most important meta-subject results of students by O.N. Krylova and E.G. Boitsova, the test "The level of cooperation in the children's collective" by D. B. Elkonin, cases for determining the level of personal development, as well as the statistical method of the Student's t-test. Thus, according to the results of diagnostics of the levels of formation of soft skills in primary school students, a predominantly low and medium level of soft skills formation was revealed. That is why the directions of educational work were put forward to increase the level of soft skills formation in primary school students. The article will be of interest to class tutors, subject teachers, teachers-psychologists working in primary secondary schools and to teachers of additional education who are engaged in organizing the process of forming soft skills in primary school students.
