Abstract
The Present paper tack les the study of popular plays through predecessors and pre- Islamic poetry. It deals with more than thirty popular plays which are employed by poets in their poetry at that time. That poetry was a research tool to know the name of the play and it's time. The treatment of the theme under study was exclusive to this period. It is worth noting that the names of most that plays have reached us. At the same time, the nature, identity and function of that plays remained hidden.However; we cannot deny the existence of those plays which are known by
their historians. But those historians do not take note of what document by poetry us if is revealed by the title of present paper. It seems that the reason behind that the poetry which is concerned with popular plays is not poetical.
It is very difficult for the poet to find a justification for using words like (ALKuthkutha) or (AL-Dujandah) and something like this. It is not strange to say that reason behind exclusion of those plays is that the plays are unknown

Abstract
نعقد البحث على دراسة الألعاب الشعبية من خلال أشعار الجاهليين والمخضرمين، فتلبث أمام ثلاثين ونيف من الألعاب الشعبية التي آثر شعراء ذلك الزمان أن يوظفوها في أشعارهم، فكانت تلك الأشعار أداة البحث في معرفة اسم اللعبة وزمنها ؛ وما تجاوز هذا الزمن، فقد استغنى البحث عن ذكره. واللافت للنظر أن أغلب تلك الألعاب وصلت إلينا أسماؤها (۱) وغابت عنا ماهيتها وطبيعة وظيفتها، ومع ذلك لا تنكر وجود ألعاب عرفها مؤرخوها ، بيد أنهم لم يلتفتوا إلى ما يوثقها شعرًا (1) كما نص عليه منطوق البحث وعنوانه، ويبدو أن السبب في ذلك متأت من لاشعريتها، إذ إنّ من العسير على الشاعر أن يجد مسوغا لاستعمال لفظة (الكتكثى) أو (الدجندح) وأضرابهما من أسماء الألعاب الشعبية، ولا نستبعد أن يكون السبب في استبعاد هذه الألعاب عن دائرة الضوء التي تجلي صورتها يكمن وراء اعتدادها ألعابا مغمورة لم يبق منها سوى أسمائها،
