The article presents the results of a study on the theoretical and pedagogical foundations for 
enhancing the physical activity of middle school students in a general education school setting. It also 
examines approaches to addressing this issue through the use of traditional Kazakh national movement 
games adapted to the conditions of the modern educational and воспитательный environment. The 
author identifies the pedagogical conditions necessary for increasing the physical activity of middle 
school students within the educational process through the integration of traditional Kazakh national 
movement games. Particular attention is paid to their educational, health-promoting, and developmental 
potential in shaping students’ personalities and fostering their overall development. The study employed a range of research methods, including the analysis of scientific, methodological, and specialized 
literature, pedagogical observation, surveys, pedagogical experimentation, and mathematical processing 
of the collected data. The findings demonstrate that carefully selected and systematically organized 
traditional Kazakh movement games contribute significantly to improving the effectiveness of both 
educational and воспитательный processes, while also increasing the level of physical activity among 
middle school students. Furthermore, the use of national games has a positive impact on students’ 
physical condition, promotes health enhancement, supports harmonious physical development, and 
improves their motor skills and physical fitness.
