Abstract

The use of Legos helps children develop skills and abilities creative ly, autonomously, and responsibly, according to their interests. This creates the need to create teaching strategies that facilitate interpersonal relationships with other children and, therefore, increase cooperation among them. The objective is to analyze the benefits of using Legos and the development of cooperation in children aged 4 to 5. Three objectives were established: the first is to provide a theoretical basis for the use of the subject and to accomplish this objective through bibliographic research. For the second objective, to determine the use of Legos in children, the results were analyzed through an interview and an observation form. The third objective is to examine the use of Legos and the development of cooperation in children aged 4 to 5. In this research, the techniques employed were interviews and observation, using their respective instruments: a question guide, which included 7 questions directed at the institution's teachers. The observation form included 8 items with a rating scale: initial, in progress, and acquired, aimed at children in early childhood education. The information collected and data analysis concluded that the use of Lego blocks promotes the development of cooperation in children. Therefore, it was suggested that teachers implement more group activities in the classroom to ensure their proper implementation and thus achieve adequate development
