This study aims to analyze children's participation in the curricular development of Early Childhood Education through playful activities and interactions, both among the children themselves and with adults. This Collaborative Action Research involved 50 children and five adults (teachers and the principal). Data was collected through field diaries, focusing on the children’s statements, narrative interviews with adults, and photography. The research focused on revitalizing a playroom in a municipal school of Early Children Educational in Vitória/ES/Brazil, where children use strategies to engage with and occupy this playful space in ways that reflect their interests and needs. In this context, the children challenge the adults to subvert the predictable logic of schooling and to explore alternative educational approaches that recognize their agency and cultural expressions. This process has had a significant impact on the professional development of the teachers involved, who were prompted to reframe their teaching practices and view the children as co-producers of the curriculum.
