 Abstract 
The article deals with the peculiarities of the using and the correction of the game as a tool of the educational process of mentally backward children. It was noted that preschool age is the most favorable for the upbringing and the correction of the personality of children with special needs. The concept of «mentally backward» and features of mentally backward children are revealed. The concept of «game» is defined and the game activity of the mentally backward children is described.  It was revealed different kinds of games: plot-role, mobile and didactic.
The game helps to solve the basic problems in the educational process of work with mentally backward children. It is important to use a combination of plot-role, moving and didactic games in this activity.  During the didactic games, children systematize and consolidate their knowledge of various features of objects, establish links between them, spatial, time and other relationships. Children learn general concepts, enrich vocabulary. Didactic games help to develop attention, concentration, will, honest, truthfulness. Mobile games help to develop the motility, accuracy, orientation in space, the focus of thinking, attention and the general physical state of the mentally backward children. Plot-role games bring up friendship, teach children to negotiate with each other’s. They contribute the developing of thinking, mutual respect, attentiveness and socialization of the mentally backward children in everyday life.
Consequently, the importance of game activities with the combination of different types of games is to enrich children’s development, correction and compensation of various defects in the children’s psyche and their preparation for school.
