Abstract:
This paper is a theoretical-bibliographic research work, with a descriptive-qualitative methodology based on the use of several concepts built in scientific analyzes that will be guided by reflections on the pedagogical practice in the classroom. Because of this, this work sought a broad contextualization of the historical development of national education, as well as an overview of the main laws that govern and organize the national educational system. Subsequently, there is an effort to associate how play, toy and play can be associated with classroom teaching practices. In addition, we also sought to demonstrate how physical education has a lot to offer in terms of teaching early childhood education. In the framework of the analysis, the idea of educating as an active subject in the teaching / learning process is implicit. And, also, it cannot be forgotten that physical education is understood as a privileged teaching environment due to the playful aspects inherent to the subject itself. Thus, recreational practices in physical education are essential elements for the motivation of children to develop fully in the most diverse aspects.
