The use of a project plays an important role in shaping the intellectual and creative abilities of elementary school students. The choice of topics and types of projects may be based on different approaches. Each type of project is characterized by a particular coordination, timelines, phases, and number of participants. The theme of the project must address specific practical problems. The development of project requires students to have knowledge of different subjects, creative thinking, and research skills. However, teachers do not sufficiently use the power of the project method for the development of intellectual and creative skills of elementary school students. In the practice of modern schools a traditional training process is dominating. The project method is becoming increasingly popular in the educational system of different countries of the world.
