THE LUDICITY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ITS BENEFITS

Abstract

Currently there is a growing discussion about the use of playfulness in childhood physical education in the educational model employed to students and teaching and learning professionals, and this discussion is gaining more and more supporters both in the school, academic, family and social environment, due to the problems generated by the lack of encouragement of physical activity practice that leads most children to sedentarism. Thus, the general objective of this article was to investigate the stimulus and employability of children's physical education in the school environment, as well as the use of revolutionary methods to help these children to learn and develop, such as play. In order to reach the established objective, a bibliographic research was developed, with an exploratory and interpretative method by the researcher. The main results showed that it is possible to stimulate the child's participation in the children's physical education classes as well as to receive help from the family to stimulate and even spread the various information about the practice of physical activity. It was possible to verify that the use of playful activities provides more interest and interaction for sports, and that this is one of the methods that makes it possible to improve the problems faced by some children who were not interested in physical activity or who lived a total sedentary lifestyle, failing to enjoy the many benefits brought by physical activity.
