The activities developed had the objective of significantly expanding the oral language of the children ninthe reference group, through the play of a make-believe game inserted in the children’s daily routine of activities. As results, we highlight a greater interaction of the children among themselves, having the oral language as mediator of this process when representing their roles in the games; the expansion of children’s vocabulary, which has been enriched by playing; and the guarantee of spaces, times and resources soth at the make-believe game could happen daily, which directly impacted the exercise and the quality of the dialogues carried out by the children.
