Abstract

Playing provides stimulus to the physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language development of the child. The knowledge about the ludic activity, including the assessment of playing, is indispensable for professionals that work with children. This study aimed to perform the translation and cultural adaptation of the Revised Knox Preschool Play Scale to be used with the Brazilian population, as well as to carry out its pretest in 18 children ages 0 to 6 years, with no motor, cognitive or sensorial impairment, and to verify the intra and interexaminers reliability of the instrument. The author of the Scale agreed with necessary cultural adaptations for the Brazilian version of the instrument here presented and the statistical analysis pointed to its reliability, consistency, and repeatability.

Keywords: cross-cultural adaptation; play; assessment; pre-school child.
