. This article explores the pedagogical effectiveness of utilizing game technologies to develop logical thinking in primary school students. The transition from preschool to primary education requires a shift from play-based activities to formal academic learning; however, play remains a fundamental psychological need for young children. By strategically integrating didactic games, interactive puzzles, and role-playing activities into the educational process, teachers can stimulate students' cognitive abilities, analytical skills, and problem-solving capacities in a stress-free environment. This paper highlights how playful learning not only sustains children's natural curiosity but also significantly improves their concentration, memory, and spatial reasoning. Ultimately, the study concludes that the systematic application of game technologies transforms complex, abstract logical concepts into engaging, accessible, and practical experiences for young learners, laying a strong foundation for their future academic success.
