Abstract

Objective: to analyze and reflect on the experience with and about traditional games of indigenous and African origins that were carried out during a participatory action research with the sixth year of secondary education at a school within the public education system in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in the academic year of 2023. Methodology: To produce information for this study, the Field Notes of the first author (teacher of the group involved in the research) were used, as well as the materials created by the students during the Physical Education classes. Results and discussion: With this study, we understand that despite the implementation of Laws nº 10.639/03 and nº 11.645/08 in schools still proving to be a great challenge, dueto the processes of coloniality in education, traditional games and games are important knowledge in the dialogue with students for education for ethnic-racial relations.
