The voices of both early childhood education teachers and children tend to be weak in the choir of agents that constitute the aims and practices of early childhood education. In this article, a video that a teacher made of four children playing dragons, followed by open-ended interviews exploring why she found this particular activity of interest and then open-ended interviews with the involved children while watching and commenting on the video, forms the basic material for discussing how children’s imaginative play can inform what might be valuable activities in early childhood education. The theoretical framework and concepts for analysis draw on an understanding of cultural formation and a cultural-historical approach that outlines children’s development through participation in activities framed by contextual conditions. By tracing conflicts caused by differences in the involved children’s values and motives while meeting conditions and demands in their context, at the personal, institutional and societal levels, the exploration of friendship, danger, space, institutional rooms and what good play ‘is’ are depicted in children’s imaginative role play. From this, imaginative play is seen as being endowed with valuable activities in early childhood education and forms a contrast to the emphasis on future academic competences that are far removed from the children’s experiences.

Esta pesquisa-ação foi realizada junto a estudantes do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública de uma cidade do interior do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, com o intuito de diminuir o risco de exposição a drogas através de atividades educativas sob aspectos conceituais, atitudinais e de autovalorização. Para isso, foi realizado um levantamento da realidade dos estudantes envolvidos no contexto da temática através de um questionário padronizado, que pautou uma exposição dialogada sobre as principais drogas lícitas e ilícitas apontadas, seguido de um jogo com viés cognitivo. Em outro momento, foi realizado um segundo jogo (Role Play Game) para trabalhar aspectos atitudinais; finalmente, foi proposto para que construíssem, através de texto e desenho, o que entendiam como um bairro ideal e o que poderiam fazer, ao seu alcance, para melhorar o seu bairro. Ao abordarmos o tema da drogadição utilizando essas estratégias lúdicas, somado ao exercício reflexivo sobre seu contexto de convívio social, testemunhamos envolvimento positivo dos estudantes, materializado pelas respostas a um questionário aplicado no final do último encontro. Percebemos um melhor entendimento dos estudantes sobre as consequências do consumo de drogas, o que pode corroborar para diminuição da exposição dos mesmos às drogas.

In this chapter, the authors outline three critical professional and ethical considerations for school leaders in early childhood settings to consider when examining the importance of including play in early childhood curricula. Beginning with an exploration of the critical role play serves in the lives of young children and positing that fundamentally, play is broadly supported across the domains of early childhood through theoretical and empirical work as well as more recent scientific support from neurological research. The authors outline a broader definition of play beyond a Eurocentric vision, and the ways in which school administrators can and should view play as culturally responsive pedagogy through the use of drama-based pedagogy.
