Brincadeira

A brincadeira, uma atividade dominante na infância, é a forma pela qual a criança começa a aprender secundariamente, é onde tem início a formação de seus processos de imaginação ativa e, também, onde ela se apropria das normas de comportamento que corresponde a certas pessoas.  É considerada uma forma de atividade social infantil que fornece uma ocasião educativa única para as crianças.  Durante a brincadeira as crianças podem “pensar e experimentar situações novas ou mesmo do seu cotidiano, isentas das pressões situacionais”.
