The article analyzes the results of an empirical study of the upbringing of humane feelings of children aged five or six. They were evaluated by criteria: a system of knowledge, a positive attitude to their humanity and humane behavior towards peers and adults, and the structural components of the education of humanity of older preschoolers were cognitive, emotional and practical. The study of the peculiarities of educating the humane feelings of older preschoolers was based on the methodology developed by the authors, which consisted of the following methods: questionnaires of parents, conversations with children, observation of play activities, interviews with educators, analysis of teachers. It was found that educators of preschool education are well aware of the essence of humanity, humane feelings, as well as guided in the methods that should be used to implement this area. However, to a lesser extent they have the knowledge and practical skills to use play activities in this process, and more specialists focus on the implementation of educational tools of ethnopedagogy. Parents of preschoolers are confused in the concepts of humanity and humane feelings, do not understand what methods and tools for the formation of children are more rational, and therefore use them more on a subconscious level. At the same time, they are more focused on educating children in humane treatment of adults than in cultivating humane feelings towards their peers (they completely ignore this aspect).At the ascertaining stage, it was noted that a significant percentage of children aged five to six are characterized by low manifestations of humane feelings in interaction with peers and adults, which is 50%, which is more than half. 30 % of the studied pupils are characterized by partial manifestations of humanity in relation to the people around them, and the smallest number of children – 17 %, are characterized by a high level of humane orientation in playful behavior. The results of the formation of humane feelings in older preschool children indicate a lack of weight on the part of parents and educators to the problem of forming humanity in the game.more on a subconscious level.
