摘要:Play is a typical behaviour of any child and a promoter of their development, through which they interact, along the play, and learn to negotiate, cooperate and work in teams. Objective: Understand how children relate in a context of game. Methodology: 35 students (19 boys and 16 girls), 18 from the 1st year and 17 from the 3rd year aged between 6 and 9 years (7.2 ± 1.1) participated. A purpose-built observation guide was used with 3 subcategories for the category “interpersonal relationships”: 1) Being able to work in a team; 2) Be sociable, easily relate to others; 3) Consider the ideas and goals of the group members. A game was held between two teams with the objective of covering one of three courses scored according to the degree of difficulty. Results: In the 3 subcategories it was verified that the majority of students, despite the gender and grade, showed this positive behaviour, without a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). Conclusions: Most children have shown to relate to peers throughout the game, and it is essential to promote in children these skills, essential for their emotional and social development.
