WALTER MARTINS "LEISURE STREET": AN EXPERIENCE REPORT

Abstract

In a globalized and increasingly technological society, as physical education professionals, we understand that this factor is an ally to the practice of physical activities, but that it is not the only motivational factor for the adoption and encouragement of healthy habits. Not only that, but also a busy lifestyle, capable of generating a decrease in social integration, transformation of the family structure, are factors that can contribute to inactivity. In this sense, mindful of this issue, the present experience report was carried out in order to demonstrate possible leisure alternatives in childhood. First, a sequence of games was developed with the purpose of conquering the participation of each child present at the event; after that, the students were separated in stations related to each activity/playing/games/painting present there. With this, these activities aimed to offer not only an initiation into the practice, but also a rescue of these games that have disappeared from many educational practices due to the predominance of the technological apparatus. The use of these activities aimed to influence the imagination with magic and ballooning, to encourage artistic gymnastics movements with the trampoline, and even to stimulate the pleasure of movement through dance. Finally, we offered a critical view of each station there, as well as a personal report from the participants of each station, reinforcing the proposal of the activity. Therefore, it was possible to conclude that, after observing all the issues involved there, we highlighted the importance of the proposal of these types of activities, both to promote an improvement in the physical health of the participants and as a means to encourage and promote a healthier environment for the local community.
