Abstract

The general objective of this work was to understand the action of the early childhood education teacher in relation to playing and, as specific objectives, to repertoire the games and games experienced with children in group IV of early childhood education; identify how playing appears within the school routine. The guiding problem of the research was: how is play inserted in the planning of the early childhood education teacher? Based on this question and based on the general and specific objectives, we carried out the study of the theoretical categories using as guides the authors: Kishimoto (2010), Corasarri, Vagula and Nascimento (2018), Loro (2015), Carvalho (2010), among others. others. The research was qualitative in nature, carried out in a school of the municipal network of the municipal network of Jaboatão dos Guararapes. Data were collected through participant observation with the aid of a field diary. The technique for analyzing the data produced was content analysis (BARDIN, 2011). Through data analysis, it was found that playing was rarely promoted by the teacher and that it is seen as a hobby, demonstrating the almost non-existence of playing in group IV of early childhood education at the research field school. It was also found that, for the most part, playing arose as a result of children's initiatives at times when they felt idle or because of the little offer of this right to children. They found space to create games with their bodies, which they had available material, confirming that playing is essential, motivational and necessary for the child's life.
