Description The purpose of the article is to introduce a use of psychomotorics to the public. By psychomotorics we understand motion activities which help us to learn about children's experiences. The research is done by means of simple motion activities and games. These activities can help in working with children, especially ill children, with hospitalised children and with physically or mentally disabled children. Psychomotoric games help in detection of real children's feelings and experiences, they expose their personal qualities, especially their temperament. These games can help an adult to get a better contact with a child in medical performances. This conclusion comes from the results which were obtained when working with children within grant tasks and research objectives at the Pedagogical Faculty of the Masaryk University in Brno.
