Science Teaching in Early Childhood Education has conquered an important space in research and teaching practices, creating new ways of planning children’s education. In this article, the goal was to study the ways how recreational activities in a “Science, Technology and Society (CTS in Portuguese Abbreviation) Approach” improve Science Teaching in an Early Childhood Education class, aiming at the formation of adult citizens. The research approach was qualitative, of the “pedagogical intervention” type. As an intervention method, recreational activities were used. The research subjects were 21 children, between four and five years old, from an Early Childhood Education School in Belém/PA. It was observed through the analysis that playfulness encouraged the observation of the school environment by children, enhancing their imaginations and creativity, by assuming different roles, creating hypotheses for school problems and exposing their opinions using different languages. In conclusion, recreational activities meet the needs of developing children, promoting meaningful learning and positive consequences for their formal education.
