According to researchers, success in social life is determined by the level of development of emotional intelligence and mental abilities.

The term «emotional intelligence», used in Ukrainian and foreign methods, is used to denote a set of abilities, knowledge, skills related to the regulation of the emotional sphere of students and necessary for successful communication. There are various techniques and techniques that can shape and develop emotional intelligence. Among the most important and frequently used are game forms of tasks (role-playing games, dramatization, games to develop communication skills), fairy tales, poems, sketches, drawings and photos, music and songs, mini-contests, gamescompetitions. Thus, the modern educational process requires from the participants the sustainable development of interpersonal skills, the ability to control their emotions.

Therefore, the school tries to develop students’ emotional intelligence during lessons and extracurricular activities.
