Summary: 
Children with autism spectrum disorder have limits in interaction - social communication and stereotyped - shaping behaviors, making it difficult for them to build group working abilities, particularly with 5 - 6 year old children in an inclusive environment. The article investigates the elements influencing the instruction of group activity skills for children with autism spectrum disorders aged 5 to 6 years old through games, including instructor pedagogy, the number of students in the class, integration and parental prejudice, estrangement from classmates, home environment, learning conditions, and coordination between home and school. This study serves as the foundation for developing a system of measures to adjust the organization of games to form group activity skills for children with autism spectrum disorders aged 5 to 6 years old, so that children can participate in playgroups based on their ability, while also assisting teachers in becoming fully equypped with knowledge about strategies and methods to support children with autism spectrum disorders aged 5 to 6 years old in the process of organizing group activities for children with autism spectrum disorders in an inclusive environment.
