This article theoretically examines a didactic system for developing metacognitive skills in preschool children through play-based activity. The study explores the content and structural components of metacognitive skills, as well as the pedagogical opportunities for their development. Particular attention is paid to the role of play-based activity in developing children’s abilities to plan, monitor, regulate their actions, solve problematic situations, and evaluate the outcomes of their activities. The effectiveness of didactic games, problem-based situations, reflective questions, and pedagogical scaffolding as tools for promoting metacognitive development is substantiated.
