BRINCADEIRAS NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

Playing is a fundamental act for young children, especially those who attend day-care centers and full-time. Child development occurs through play, whether directed or not, in a group, or when the child plays alone. Play is a right of every child, guaranteed in the National Curriculum Guidelines for Early Childhood Education (BRASIL, 2009). The research proposes to discuss teacher mediation, through the contributions that play can play in children's learning, the importance of playing in early childhood education, analyzing the strategies used by teachers in the moments of play, and playing as a pedagogical resource , contributing to the development and learning process of children. Teaching practices become more dynamic and meaningful for children when play is included in the planning and daily life of Early Childhood Education. The jokes in the educational context awaken the imagination, offering meaningful learning.
