This technique has a lot of advantages:

Musical and didactic games for the preparatory group are used by all group teachers who prepare children for school and they choose techniques that will help solve the tasks:
- Visual: visual-auditory and visual-visual. This technique is based on musical compositions that the child listens to, compares and contrasts. Auditory perception is reinforced by visual perception, for example, bright cards, musical toys and instruments are used.

- Practical. The teacher plays musical instruments, sings, performs rhythmic movements, and then the children repeat after him.
Musical and didactic games for the preparatory group will be beneficial and will help to properly develop the child if these three methods are used in an increasing number of problems: from direct influence to consolidation, performing already familiar exercises and creating new situations.
