Contribution
For six years our students of educational and school psychology cultivate their theoretical sensitivity to empirical experience with the life of schoolchildren by the research of ludic folklore in primary and secondary schools. The subject of the theoretical reflection presented is the problem of overcoming the limits of the idea of immediate socialising and didactic function of imitation in children's games; which according to my experience is a prominent problem in the interpretation of particular observed games. The theoretical inspiration is drawn from the works of Iona and Peter Opie and Roger Caillois. Thanks to the concept of mimicry the interpretation of peculiar games can disclose children's training themselves in using their semiotic function and auto-therapeutic practices (abreactive or homeopathic), rather than their learning of substantive knowledge and training in the adults' roles. The presented theoretical reflection is illustrated by an exemplary case of schoolchildren's games - the Tag.
