The article proposes a discussion about playing in the process of elaborating the separation of the mother from the entrance of the child in Early Childhood Education. A qualitative research was carried out, through 20 observations, inspired by the Infant Observation, in weekly frequency, lasting one hour each. The observations occurred in the classroom of Early Childhood Education, in a municipal district of the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. The results indicated that playing is an important resource, as it helped children in the elaboration the experience of separation that they experienced when entering the school space, and which were reproduced throughout the process of adaptation. In this sense, the educator’s understanding of the issues involved in play is essential, as it allows a greater understanding of the process of elaboration of each child.
