A dança através de jogos e brincadeiras na educação infantil

Abstract

This work had as its object of study to think about Dance through games and games in Early Childhood Education and its contributions to the formation of children. Play is part of children's daily life and through make-believe, children create their own world, establishing multiple dialogues, interlocutions and appropriating it. When inserted in school, their routine changes, leaving the teacher to have the sensitivity and mission of being the mediator in the teaching and learning processes. Thus, this study aimed to understand how games and games can contribute to children's understanding of their bodies and the elements of dance in a playful and creative way. We also seek to analyze how games and games can be pedagogically treated as expressive resources to experience dance in early childhood education. For that, a set of classes that took place in remote format due to the COVID 19 pandemic were analyzed, in which we observed that the driving focus for the teaching of Dance is centered on games and games.
