Abstract: The article highlights the important role of traditional games in the culture of the people, as well as their educational significance and social role. In the epic "Manas," through the images of heroes and their interaction with the world and traditions, the characteristics of social and cultural norms are reflected, including those conveyed through games. Research purpose: to identify the types of games described in the epic, as well as generalize these types to better understand the people's traditions and values. Research materials and methods: the descriptive narrative method, in this context, not only allows for describing the game process but also delves into the cultural context that these games carry. In the epic "Manas," one can see how games serve not only as entertainment but also as a means of education, knowledge transfer, maintaining health, and strengthening social interaction among people. Thus, the aim of the research is not merely to examine games as elements of leisure, but to understand their role in preserving and transmitting cultural traditions through generations.
