The hypothesis was that teachers use play in the classroom to promote the development of their students. The general objective of this study is to reflect on the importance of games and play, from a playful perspective, in the teachinglearning process of early childhood education students. To this end, the specific objectives were: to describe the importance of games and play from a playful perspective for early childhood education; to identify the benefits of playful activities in early childhood education; and to identify the teacher's role in relation to games and play in early childhood education. To achieve these objectives, qualitative research was conducted using a bibliographical approach to gatherinformation from authors who have already addressed the topic.
