This research is situated in the context of early childhood education, with the research cut out the play in this educational stage. It has the general objective to analyze the look of small children about play and more specifically: to analyze which environment where kids like to play, describe what the games most used by children in the institution of Early Childhood Education and home finally relate the play with psychoeducational practice. Counted with the participation of five children under the age of five, four female and one male. We used to collect the data, a semi-structured interview, containing two items sociodemographic (age and sex) in order to characterize the sample and four related to play. The results showed that the children they see play as something pleasurable, a way to have fun, both the institutional environment and the family. Their games involve interaction with friends, the movement, the challenge, the make-believe, toys and most popular games among their peers, such as the doll and football, respectively, as well as imagination, creativity, affection, etc. The relationship between child, play, learning at all resembles what the psychopedagogy seeks to study, because this means demand to know what is hindering the process of teaching and learning of the learner, aiming to minimize them. For this, nothing better than to use the games as well as games and toys to transform this action into a meaningful, enjoyable and stimulating learning for children.
