Abstract

This course completion work presents the importance of games and play in Early Childhood Education, as indispensable for the child's development in all aspects: physical, psychological, intellectual and social. It aimed to understand which concepts about games and activities guide the work of teachers at a public day care center in the south of Manaus. It also aimed to systematize the theoretical contributions of authors who dedicate themselves to play and games as a research object, as well as to identify and investigate the conceptions of daycare teachers regarding the role of play and games in children's education. The research was based on a qualitative approach, with fieldwork, using a semi-structured interview with the daycare teachers as a data collection instrument. The results showed that the daycare teachers understand the relevance of playing in the first stage of Basic Education as essential for learning skills and for the integral development of the child.
