The object of the study is the formation of historical thinking in primary school students. The subject of the study is theatrical activity as a factor in the formation of historical thinking in primary school students in the process of studying in an Orthodox Sunday school. The relevance of the work is determined by the consequences of the crisis of spirituality in the late 20th - early 21st centuries. The mass introduction of extreme liberal values led to the loss of clear spiritual guidelines for the personal development of the younger generation and the loss of awareness of the significance of historical processes and the loss of faith in the possibility of influencing them of each specific person.
The article raises the problem of using the pedagogical traditions of the parish and modern Orthodox Sunday school in secular education. According to the author, theatrical activity based on the cultural principles of Christian thinking allows to level the situation of methodological uncertainty in the formation of historical thinking and a stable matrix of spiritual values of the individual in secular and Orthodox Sunday schools. The leading research methods in the work are theoretical and analytical, systemic, problem-historical, comparative analysis, which made it possible to determine the pedagogical advantages of the Orthodox Sunday school in the development of the cultural foundations of historical thinking in primary school students.
As a result, the thesis is substantiated that theatrical activity based on the Christian type of thinking allows developing communicative, intellectual, adaptive abilities in primary school students. In the process of theatrical activity, the personal experience of the primary school student is enriched through comprehension, comparison on a historical scale, analysis of the actions of the Old and New Testament heroes and characters. Theatrical activity in the form of a role-playing game activates different types of memory in children (family, historical, ethnic, etc.) and contributes to the formation of historical thinking on this basis.
