The objective of this research was to analyze the play of the indigenous Aymara child. The method used was the qualitative one, executed through the techniques of in-depth interview and participatory observation. We worked with an adjusted sample of four teachers, seven parents and 18 students from the primary level of basic education. The findings of the investigation denote that, in the activities of the children's game, a complex network of knowledge is expressed, which evidences previous knowledge. This knowledge serves to solve daily problems of their social and cultural environment that involve mathematical operations, use of language, development of science, practice of values, manifestation of beliefs and own culture. Children's knowledge is highly developed and useful in the daily life of adults, which should be the starting point in intercultural education. The indigenous culture is considered a relic that is used to observe it, care for it and exhibit it in "museums", without any importance in the school life of the children, useless at the time of the programmed teaching. The school curriculum reinforces power relations between cultures, since it does not touch the "elite" population who are the ones who discriminate and who are not willing or interested in recognizing and valuing indigenous culture in the same dimension as their own. When designing educational models and programs, the proposal is to reverse current education, which considers that indigenous children have inferior knowledge. To adapt the intercultural education curriculum to the multiplicity of knowledge that indigenous children have and use, and to implement it in the entire national private and public education system.
