This article examines in detail the development of ethnosports in Kazakhstan from its socio-cultural point of view, analyzes monographic research works by domestic and foreign scientists on the development of ethnosports, as well as information on improving the structure of sports and promoting cultural values of the peoples of the world. The types of ethnosports from far and near abroad, the competitions held in them and the activities of the National Sports Association of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the development of ethnosports, proposals for the development of ethnosports in the country, and the results of a survey of 900 high school students from Turkestan and Kyzylorda regions in the Republic of Kazakhstan are comprehensively analyzed. In addition, in the steppe expanses of Kazakhstan, where there are many flat areas on the streets, in courtyards, and on the outskirts of the village, we have specially selected the types of games that will allow us to organize and conduct traditional Kazakh labor, ritual, and entertainment games. These games develop a child’s motor activity, foster determination, ingenuity, organization, friendship, morality, and increase interest in national sports and games. Also, with the systematic use of the means of Kazakh ethnopedagogy in modern schools, a scientific justification is given for the upbringing of a conscious generation that respects nationality - thoughts, customs, traditions, respects the language, mentality, culture, history, national games of its native people, and cultivates national qualities.
