JOGOS E BRINCADEIRAS NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

This research aims to understand how games and games in early childhood education contribute to the school context. By introducing games and games in early childhood education, the perception of some authors in the teaching-learning process in early childhood becomes evident. In this research, it is clear that the playful, in the teaching-learning process, directly contributes to the child's development, establishing physical, cognitive, social, and cultural skills, encouraging the child's interest to be creative, awakening imagination and language. To achieve the objectives presented, the theoretical foundation was seeking to understand how playing is part of a child's basic needs and how much it contributes to development. In addition, it was reflected that in games and games, both simpler and more elaborate, the child builds his own knowledge, providing an integral development. The introduction of playfulness in the school environment brings a junction of imagination with what is around them, the child builds bonds with other children leaving their comfort zone and having exchanges of experiences. With this, it appears that using toys, games, and games for pedagogical purposes in a fun and joyful way in the teaching-learning process in early childhood school becomes more rewarding, as these moments will be marked in the children's memory.
