It is through playful experiences that the child knows and recognizes his own identity and perceives himself as unique, complex and individual. According to Garanhani (2002), in childhood the body in movement constitutes a basic matrix for learning gestures as meanings of learning. In this period, the child becomes a symbol that he can experience bodily, and his thought initially takes the form of action. By creating movements such as rolling, crawling, walking, running, observing, imitating, jumping, jumping, turning and playing pretend, the child builds meanings about the world, attributing new meanings to the elements of reality and defining their personal and collective identity , in a process of cultural production.
