Inventários das brincadeiras e do brincar: Ativando uma memória dos afetos

Abstract

The module “Therapeutic Activities and Resources: Games and Recreation” has invited students to experiment with the drawing up of inventories, a narrative form that makes it possible to recapture memories of play that are influenced by affections and thereby constitute them in the present. This allows for contact with family narratives, personal history and knowledge of the games and toys found in different generations. The objective of registering these experiences through images and writing is to contribute towards a reflection about the methodologies that could be used to sensitize students about the development of being a therapist, for the training of occupational therapists and for professionals from other fields who use games and toys in their daily work. We can think of the inventories as concrete narratives that give exposure to the memories and affections, activating a becoming-child, essential for playful education.
