The goal of this thesis is to introduce and describe traditional games. This thesis presents my research on the subject of practical use of these games in schools and on the opinions of teachers of the Dubrovačko-neretvanska County on them. A traditional game is a piece of cultural heritage, it's a part of a culture which has been gradually fading in recent years. Children develop useful skills and virtues such as creativity, cleverness, precision and many others while playing these games, but the arrival of the modern era of technology has disrupted that pattern and has caused a huge behavioral change. Children are less social and are more passive than ever. The once important childhood games lay forgotten because of the rise of new, quick and easily available sources of entertainment. A more natural version of child's play that avoids the mentioned technology plays an important part in the formation of psychologically, physically and emotionally well developed individuals. This thesisgives a review of the almost forgotten traditional games of the Dubrovnik region in great detail. It's a known fact that no virtual game can replace a natural, real human-to-human interaction and a physical element present in these games. Guided by this fact, thesis isto encourage local teachers to attempt to reintegrate these important games into the daily lives of children.
