Based on the fact that the development of students' creative abilities and their acquisition of skills of independent educational and cognitive activity is currently one of the important tasks in the learning process, as well as the fact that creative writing, and in general, the written language began to occupy a special place in the teaching foreign languages, we came to the conclusion that the growth of the role of creative writing in the educational process is associated with the increased use of interactive forms of language work, since a creative approach greatly facilitates the processes of memorizing and learning new information. Many teachers note that it is written work, unlike other types of educational activities, that helps students to develop their creative abilities. It is very often difficult for students to express their thoughts competently both orally and in writing. In this connection, there is an obstacle to the development of a whole range of professional competencies, and one of the incentives in overcoming fear is creative tasks that increase educational and professional motivation. Practical tasks and exercises in creative writing during learning a foreign language: help to consolidate the material learned; aimed at the development and formation of the qualities of a creative personality, creative thinking, as well as a comfortable stay in a creative environment; make the process of learning a foreign language more interesting and less stressful and take place in a creative and relaxed atmosphere; help to get rid of fears and insecurities; make you want to share your thoughts and emotions in writing and orally. As a result, this causes the need to expand the vocabulary, to get acquainted with new lexical and grammatical structures, and thus there is an active search for different forms and ways of self-expression. It should also be noted that both written and oral forms of work can be used when teaching written communication due to the close interrelationship of all types of language activity, therefore the presented set of exercises and games can be used in foreign language classes in different versions depending on the type of communication skills , on the development of which the lesson is directed.
