Considering the beginning of the period of figurative thinking, understanding thinking in children of this age, it is indicated in them that it is expedient to use painting, music and artistic-creative games for the formation of imagination and "creative thinking" skills. For this purpose, the national dances of the Uzbek people can be used, such as "Andijan polka", "Khorezm lezgisi”, reciting epics, listening to maqom, as well as interesting games such as " white poplar - blue poplar, found - ball ". Exercises that stimulate strong emotions and strengthen the imagination of children aged 5-6 years, such as “A trip to the zoo”, “A trip to the garden”, have a positive effect on the formation of "creative thinking" skills.
