ABSTRACT
This
article addresses the importance of the act of playing and in an attempt to
make some surveys and foundations to understand its importance for the integral
development of Man. Its scientific relevance lies in the fact that it proposes
a debate to re-signify the concept of play beyond what is known, that is, to
understand it as an active methodology and not as simple entertainment. Its
social relevance lies in presenting to parents and teachers, responsible for
the formation of the new generations, the act of playing as an active
methodology of paramount importance for the cognitive and socio-emotional
development of the individual, as it allows the awakening of the child's
interest and willingness to participate in the entire teaching-learning
process. It promotes learning. For this, it was used bibliographic research and
deductive, inductive, analytical and synthesis methods.
Keywords: Cognitive development. Intelligence. Play, Toys and Inventiveness and technology. Play as an active methodology.
