Jogos e brincadeiras como ferramentas pedagógicas para o desenvolvimento psicomotor da criança

Abstract

Games and play are used to stimulate the teaching and learning process, since they are pedagogical tools that facilitate the teaching and learning process. This implies that games and play are effective resources that allow students to learn in a more practical and fun way. The responsible and creative use of these resources transforms the school environment into a collaborative space. This study has the general objective of understanding what makes games and play pedagogical tools to aid in the development process. The methodology used was qualitative research, of a bibliographic and exploratory nature, supported by the specific literature of the area under study. The results show us the importance of using games and play as pedagogical tools in the teaching and learning process, taking into account the contributions arising from a playful, active and creative practice. In general terms, we conclude that games and play are important for children's psychomotor development, in addition to social and emotional skills, self-esteem and language development.
