Abstract
The war in Ukraine has led to difficulties, including in the field of education. This is due, first of all, to educational losses, the level of which has not yet been established. One of the ways to overcome the educational losses of primary school students is the use of physical exercises as a means of influencing the visual analyzer. The authors consider it appropriate to use sensory-oriented tasks, exercises and outdoor games in physical education lessons and in small forms of physical exercise. The article provides a classification of exercises and outdoor games, which, according to functional characteristics, are divided into means of restorative and training effects. The purpose of the study is to identify sensory- oriented tasks, exercises and games that can positively affect the functional state of the visual analyzer of primary schoolchildren and, as a result, overcome educational losses. The work provides examples of specially targeted exercises and games that directly affect the functional state of the visual analyzer. These exercises and outdoor games can be used in any part of the lesson as an addition to the main ones or to fill rest breaks. The proposed exercises and outdoor games are easily dosed depending on the age and fatigue of the students. The simplicity and small load when performing them provide an optimal effect on the body. Physical education teachers are recommended to constantly include such means of physical education in the content of lessons in order to increase the acuity and field of vision of primary school students. Primary school teachers are pointed out the need to conduct special restorative visual games in lessons with heavy loads on the visual analyzer (reading, writing, mathematics). This will help improve the perception of educational material and, as a result, overcome educational losses. All of the above, in our opinion, will have a positive impact on the functional state of the visual sensory system and, as a result, help overcome educational losses not only in physical education, but also in other disciplines studied in primary school
