- This paper deals with the Polish physical culture which appears to lack a sufficient level of reflection in traditional aspects of its historical heritage. Traditional Polish games have been deserted and forgotten. Most of the researchers of culture do not pay enough attention to this particular sphere of spiritual culture, which consists also of the traditional Polish games as such. How is it that Polish art, music and even science have managed to convey their message, that there is a country in Europe with a long history, its own traditions and scientific achievements and that there are Polish people who represent that country. Why could this not be done in one of the most fundamental of all spheres of culture, that is physical culture? First of all this problem needs to be seen from the cultural, then anthropological, points of view. Then, one should focus on the culture itself — the civilization developing process through one of its products: games, in all respects, which, although being our important legacy, seem not to be appreciated by Polish society at all, and often totally ignored. But one needs to be aware of one’s own physical cultural traditions which, besides other cultural achievements, is the most important element of the national consciousness and cultural identity. Unfortunately, for a long time this phenomenon was totally rejected both by society and by human study researchers as it was believed to be trivial, ludic and merely the realm of folk activities. There were few scholars writing about the notion, though these include: Józef Nowicki or Eugeniusz Piasecki. They referred to the earlier ethnographic works by Wincenty Kadłubek, Łukasz Gołębiowski or Oskar Kolberg to prove the issue should still be on the research agendas. Reaching to old documents or the writings of famous Polish writers like Mikołaj Rej or Adam Mickiewicz, one can learn a lot about how the Polish upper class and peasants used to spend their pastime enjoying different forms of plays and games based on rites, legends, military preparations and everyday activities. Even today only a few academics are truly interested in this field of study in Poland. Among them Wojciech Lipoński, the author of an enormous work describing over 3,000 traditional sports and games in one World Sports Encyclopedia, can be named. To make this sound more familiar to the readers, the authoress decided to give in her article three examples of Polish traditional ludic games dating back to ancient times: Sobótka, Plinie and Palant.
