Children’s play at the collective playtime seemed to awaken imagination in teachers, updating their memories. Other ways of playing emerge in children’s play, expanding teachers’ know-how. By means of playing the child knows him/herself as well as his/her surrounding world. Teachers consider the make-believe an important aid to find out what the child feels and thinks, how he/she sees the reality within which he/she is, and how he/she sees their work. It is also highlighted the importance of playing time for children in a full-time school. Keywords : Play. Children. Quotidian.
