Abstract
The theme of the study is elements of the game in the context of the traditional Ukrainian wedding. The subject of the study is disparate elements of the game in the contex of traditional Ukrainian wedding ceremony that came to our times from different regions of Ukraine in different versions and variations. Taking under consideration the fact that the game has always had great importance in human life, both ancient and modern, and given the results of the study of Hёyzynhy Johan where the author set out to exclude gaming elements at different stages of the wedding ceremony, to analyze them, to explain the relationship of elements of the evolution of marriage. In the first stage of the wedding ceremony – Matchmaking – we have identified such element of the game as play, which was performed by match makers, a groom, a bride and parents of the girl. The scenes of hunting and sale as ancient forms of marriage among the Slavs were played out at this stage. The following game elements relate to the competition, when the members from the groom’s side demonstrate strength, intelligence and dexterity to conquer the bride. The third kind of game which we called initiation game (game as aprobation) is for his young wife, who at the last stage of the wedding ceremony demonstrates the skills of a good hostess and thrifty wife. Thus, the study draw us to conclusion that further explorations in this area are interesting and necessary, which will give us a better understanding of collective myths of our ancestors, allow us to penetrate the secrets of the triad: language – culture – game.
