The article deals with the coexistence of children with the Amazonian nature in amazonian rural contexts of the city of Abaetetuba-PA, supported by the idea that they are relational beings and that they constitute in connection with other beings and that potentiate activities and actions in this state of connection. This is an investigation developed in 2018 and 2019, which included bibliographic and field research, using ethnographic resources, whose centrality were interviews and observations with children, taking into account their voices and their opinions, taking them as social subjects, producers of knowledge and sociability with their peers and adults. As a result, it was possible to perceive that the children of these contexts have concretely a connection with the natural soil, through experiences with the mother earth and the waters, that is, there is a prospective attitude of reinvention of the cultural contents existing in the place through their games and other experiences and, at the same time, their values of living together, its traditions rich in Amazonian symbologies become educational processes in the ordinary of life. These clues may be useful to think about possible (re)educational configurations in rural contexts in the Region of Baixo Tocantins/PA.
