The objective of the work is to study the concepts of playing during childhood that are revealed in narratives of future teachers of special education. We interviewed 48 concluding students of the Pedagogical Course - Teacher Training for Special Education given by the department of education of a university. The narratives were written with three proposed axes in mind: memories of playing during childhood; childhood and child labor; the role of playing in the learning and development of the “special” child. The study considered the narratives of life of each participant of these future teachers as a unit of analysis revealing the relation between the social and the individual; the narratives expressed the historical concrete possibilities for that life to be constructed. We organized six open questions that oriented the construction of the written narratives. We worked with three categories to analyze the texts: 1. Childhood and playing; 2. Child labor and time for playing; 3. Memory, identity and teacher training. Results of the study point out that the theoretical concepts about playing elaborated during the course were out of step with pedagogical practice during trial teaching. Daily school practice reproduces a school where playing is neither experienced nor learned.
