Today, the problem of interaction among children is becoming increasingly relevant. Particularly, we can highlight the preschool age, which is a kind of "base" for preparing an individual for life in society. Based on theoretical issues and requests of parents, the author compiled and implemented the Summer Program "You are my friend - I am your friend" on the basis of the Multifunctional Clinic "Sanitas" of Koltsovo, Novosibirsk Region. The goal of the program was the formation and development of communication skills of the participants of the summer program. The program included establishing the rules of the group, games for getting to know each other and relieving tension in the group, exercises to identify the position of the participants in the group (leader, organizer, performer) and team building, effective interaction and formation, development of communication skills. Also, from the middle of the week, the participants were offered to act out scenes on a given topic. Every day they participated in street games (tag, dodgeball, role-playing games, etc.), board games (Tower, Memo, Try, Repeat, etc.), each day ended with a circle of feelings, where the participants learned to reflect and express their feelings and emotions. As a result of the program implementation, active communication with each other, participation in games and exercises, joint interaction were noted. They discuss their feelings and emotions, share their opinions, and the level of aggression and conflict has decreased. The difficulties in developing communication skills in older preschoolers are a pressing problem in modern society. Mastering communication skills by older preschoolers allows future schoolchildren to prepare for interaction with peers, older or younger children, and adults. The implementation of the summer program once again confirmed the benefits of the game for the formation and development of verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
