A INFLUÊNCIA DO LÚDICO NOS ANOS INICIAIS SEGUNDO ROGER CAILLOIS

Abstract

This his work aims to discuss the importance of playfulness in the early years, under the same perspective presented by Roger Caillois. Games, toys and games are part of children's world, as they have been present in humanity since its inception. That said, the general objective was determined: to understand the importance of playful games in the early years of elementary school in the child's development process. To achieve the desired goal, a bibliographical research was carried out, based on authors who work with this theme, such as Kishimoto (1997, 2010, 2014), Huizinga (2007), Fantacholi (2011), among others. After discussing the four elements that classify the types of games, described by Caillois (Agôn, Alea, Mimicry and Ilinx), examples of activities developed with children taking into account the action of playing were presented. Furthermore, play is considered an important tool that entertains and provides pleasure to children, which facilitates learning and helps with their physical, cognitive, emotional and social development. In this task, it is also recognized that the educator has a fundamental role in mediating knowledge in this process.
