As a theoretical-methodological bases of research were the leading ideas and principles of national psychology: the principle of unity of consciousness and activity S. L. Rubinstein, the concept of the zone of proximal development L. S. Vygotsky's position on the subject of generalization of experience of their own activities (S. L. Novoselova).

Practical and theoretical significance of the results. The use of information and communication technologies as a means of democratization of preschool education is substantiated. The application of the described methods of creating a multimedia game can easily be carried out by practical teachers and widely implemented in mass preschool education. Meaningful conclusions.
