The health practices experienced by children in the family environment, supported by issues of
cultural diversity, are incorporated into school life, as well as knowledge about health learned
in everyday life and in formal education at school, and both can be aggregated in the various
social spaces of insertion of children. This study aimed to develop health education activities
in the Curucuruí Village school space, with primary school students, in order to promote health
in childhood. Through the qualitative methodology of research-action, four interventions of
health education were conducted, with the development of playful activities, educational games,
drawings, posters, conversation circle and orientative lectures related to individual and
environmental health. School is a privileged space for education and health promotion, since in
this environment there is a wide interaction among children through daily exchanges, and it
may be a favorable place for facing health-disease issues. Thus, the actions developed can favor
the dialogue between education and health for health promotion and comprehensive care,
allowing the knowledge produced in the school environment to be disseminated beyond the
classroom.
