Abstract

This work aims to investigate games and playfulness in teaching of Portuguese language through the analysis of games experiences held by scholarship holders of the Teaching Initiation Program of the Course in Letters - Portuguese Language Program at the Center for Higher Studies of Tabatinga, State University of Amazonas. To achieve this, theoretical notes on the meanings and characteristics of playfulness and games are presented, followed by descriptions of the rules, development, and application of the games held by Pibid scholarship holders, identifying, and discussing, ultimately, relevant aspects derived from this experience. The analysis of the data emphasizes the moments of spontaneity, resistance, and intuitive attitudes displayed by the students. We conclude that games allow the materialization and even the overcoming of aspects highlighted by theory, providing considerations about the underlying conception of education in our analyses and how it must be matured.
