KOUBOVÁ, Barbora
The work presented in this master's project aims to create and verify a collection of games that can be played in nature by university students. The work uses the methods of content analysis, observation, comparative and synthesis. The analytical part of the work is assembled on the basis of a review of specialist literature on the importance of movement and movement of university students, after which the general significance of games is analysed together with the various ways in which they have been categorized by different authors. There is a description of the significance and the purpose of games played in nature and also the ways in which university students relate to the games. In the systematic review, a collection of games that can be played in nature is elaborated, with a detailed description of each of the games, including any modified versions. A feasibility study was carried out with students in the first year of their studies of Teaching for the 2nd Level of Elementary Schools specializing in physical education at the Faculty of Education of the University of South Bohemia, within the framework of their course in Hiking and Sports in Nature. The second verification group consisted of female students in the first year of their studies of Teaching for the 1st Level of Elemetary Schools at the Faculty of Education of the University of South Bohemia. The verification was carried out with their voluntary participation in Stromovka park. Then, in the systematic part of the work, an evaluation was made of each of the games in the collection, in which just two out of the total of twenty games were judged to be unsuccessful.
