Thirteen children (11 boys and 2 girls,) aged between four and five years old participated in the research. The children and their relatives were interviewed, and the group was observed while playing at their homes. The play was analyzed with reference to the themes, their peer group, the location, the objects involved, and the implicit meaning in each activity. Although the children were in close contact with an urban setting, they showed a strong affinity with their riverine environment.porAcesso AbertoBrincadeirasCriançasRibeirinhosEducação de criançasIlha do Combu - PABelém - PAPará - EstadoArtigo de Periódico
