Abstract

The research sought to examine what children and teachers thought about playing and gender issues. In total, 18 children participated in the interventions with the game, 10 boys and 8 girls, and 13 teachers, all of them from the city of Sarandi / PR. The words of the children about gender representations were achieved from the application of the game named Trails of Diversity, within the Play Project and, with the teachers, in a school setting, using the game through the focus group technique. Through the episodes, conversations and plays, we understand the diversity of identities and roles that children and teachers construct and assume. Both for the children as the teachers, there were several moments and situations in which the conflict settled, arising there from critical reflection.
