Abstract

In this article, we analyses of what children do as leisure, what they would like to do but do not do as leisure, what they do as an obligation, as well as obstacles to leisure experiences. The study has a confidence level of 95%, with a total sampling of 2400 interviews, being 211 with children (7-10 years) of the five Brazilian regions, performed by the survey technique. In Brazil, leisure is a children’s social right, which fortifies the international perspective of human rights. Brazilian children point out the school as their major obligation, followed by household duties. As for what they do as leisure, the physical-sporting interests are frequent activities over the weekend. In the weekdays, we did not have sufficient data to analyses the relationship between childhood and internet media. As for the barriers to living leisure, the lack of financial resource and time were revealed as great obstacles.
