Resumo

Based on the contributions of Childhood Social Studies, the article aims to discuss the process of interpretive reproduction emerging from a cultural routine of sociodramatic role playing experienced in the schoolyard by a group of preschool children. Methodologically, the study results from an ethnographic research with children, which used the following data generation strategies: observation, field diary, conversation circles, photographic records, and audio recordings. The study was conducted in a public school of Early Childhood Education, with 24 5-year-old children, over one school year. The focus of the analysis is the routine of a “beauty salon robbery” role play, due to its constant occurrence during the children's free activity moments and the large number of participants. From the analysis of the role playing routines, alliances between children, the definition of roles, interpretative reproduction, and the production of children's cultures in the schoolyard are highlighted. The research infers the need for children to have guaranteed free time to play and support from teachers concerning their demands in the role playing proposals.
