This paper aims at discussing games and plays and the way children perceive their realities throughout these dynamical processes. The theory of game activity was developed by D.B. Elkonin based on the psychological theories of interaction and language acquisition of L.S. Vygotsky. Caretakers and educators шт pre-school educational systems should understand the nature and importance of the play activity of children for the formation of their personalities. Playing is a manner for children to satisfy their needs in order to adapt themselves to social life. Playing is the way to understand reality and the relationship of students with reality. In other words, playing subsidizes childhood humanization. Here we assume the importance of pedagogical work with children within school and we problematize how education can contribute to the relationship between chil-dren and play, and how it can help the process of childhood humanization.
