A importância das brincadeiras para o desenvolvimento infantil

Abstract

The intention of this work is to briefly address the importance of play for child development. Through this theme, considering children's learning and cognitive development, the aim is to relate the effects on learning with the use of games and play in the classroom. The following questions are intended to be answered: how can play be utilized in the school context? What is its relationship with learning? What is the importance of play for personal relationships among children? How can a teaching and learning environment be promoted in schools through playful activities? Additionally, a reflection is made on why children have been moving away from play to use screens. Therefore, the objective of this work is to conceptualize the importance of play within the school, while also relating this resource to the teacher's instruction, through a bibliographic research in which the authors advocate and validate play as a means for children's development and their relationships with peers.
