Abstract
The Escola Fazenda Santa Monica (EFSM) is a bimonthly boarding school in Brazilian Pantanal. The aim of this study is to analyze the traditional games of the children of the EFSM in light of the debate on the playful culture. Therefore, a case study was carried out with a field diary to collect data and provide content analysis to organize, categorize, and analyze these data. Traditional games have been known for a long time (by children and the elderly), in a sociocultural context and have survived over time through intergenerational dissemination (imitation, instruction or collaboration). At EFSM, some of these games, when experienced, maintain their main structure (theme), rules and objectives (form), but others go through adaptations, since resignification is recurrent in children's playful culture. To think about the traditional games of the Pantanal children is to highlight their playful power to transform the institutional space of EFSM in a unique place, where it is possible to express their individualities, socialize, build knowledge and reframe their playful culture.
