“Encontra-me um tesouro?”, o Pequeno Príncipe visita a terra: jogos, brincadeiras e literatura nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The aim of this experience report is to address the application of a teaching proposal focused on children's literature linked to games and play in a 3rd grade class in the early years of elementary school. The proposal was drawn up based on the theories of child development scholars Piaget and Vygotsky, who explain how children develop cognitively and socially from experiences with the symbolism of games and play. In addition, studies by Cosson, on literary literacy, and Amarilha, on children's literature, also underpin the teaching proposal, which was applied in a public school in Major Sales, a municipality in Rio Grande do Norte. The research is bibliographical in nature and qualitative in nature, as it is based on authors from the field of pedagogy and literary studies. Based on the studies, experiences and analysis, it was found that games and play do indeed contribute to children's learning process, as well as cooperating with their interactional and personal development. In view of the results obtained, further studies on this subject are necessary, given the importance and relevance of the topic in the educational and social context of children.
