The topic of the paper is the basics of elementary games, as specific forms of the movements of students which are normally recommended in textbooks teaching physical education methods, as one of the aspects of the means of performing tasks in the opening phase of a class, and their reflecting importance in contemporary life. The decision on writing this paper was influenced, inter alia, by the importance of physical movement, in spite of a lack of appropriate literature in this field, as well as the obsolescence of existing texts. A possible approach to teaching is presented, intended mainly for primary school students who wish to have a well-shaped body, improve individual physical abilities, develop positive personality traits and maintain health. A comprehensive analysis of the intensity and shape of such movements, among other things, analyzes the justification of game application, mostly of a moderate and medium level of physiological loading suitable in the introductory phase of the class (with the comment that there is no strict regularity in loading by physical effort, but rather, it is variable and depends on the development of the game). The aim of the paper is primarily to refer young people to the realization of a more efficient motoric communication and create a habit for daily physical exercising in the purpose of exerting positive transformational effects of functional systems and morphological characteristics. The means used to achieve the goals in the opening phase of the P.E. class, and the natural forms of movement which are applied in a dynamic and synthetic form, are presented as crawling, walking, running, jumping, throwing, climbing, etc. In other words, movements arising in elementary games with the tasks of catching, overtaking, hiding, climbing or descending, with an adjusted competitive motive
