A criança e as atividades lúdicas na educação infantil

Abstract

Play in Early Childhood Education is seen as a teaching-learning tool that promotes learning, personal, cultural, and social development, and is also beneficial to the child's mental health. In this sense, the goal of this paper is to understand the play associated with the education act, in terms of its efficiency when assimilating content, as well as to understand the uses and meanings of digital media and games as a dynamic learning tool in childhood and during the literacy stage. Regarding the methodology applied, we highlight the model of qualitative bibliographic research, based on scientific articles, books, and various periodicals. We hope that this work will contribute to the theoretical discussion of the appropriateness and employability of play in Early Childhood Education.
