The purpose of this article is to reflect on the role of the childhood play culture in theeducation of children, knowing that the play culture is a true immaterial heritage that istransmitted and that according to different theories have a fundamental place in childhood. Inthis sense, we proposed to do a mixed study based on the collection of opinions andexperiences of childhood teacher’s from the same region (n = 70) in order to know the valuegiven to children's play culture. We then confronted this information with the new curricula guidelines for pre-school education, currently followed in Portugal, and we tried to give a prominent place to the play as priorities of education. From an early age, in the school,educators can propose and manage practices relevant through expressions – physicaleducation and arts (dramatic, musical and dance, visual arts) and their integration, childhoodprofessionals can propose some relevant practices.
