The present dissertation arose from a concern about the use of comic books in school, especially in Physical Education classes, considering that this form of language arouses a greater interest in students because it involves playful characteristics. Comics provide entertainment for young people and adults, butthe intention of comic books is not just to generate a means of entertainment and it spends time, they have the function of informing, training and educating the citizen. In this sense, I came up with the study question: How can students understand the thematic content of Physical Education using the HQs? With the general objective of describing and analyzing the learning process of the themes of the culture of movement in elementary school II through comic books. This study is characterized as a participatory research, with a pedagogical field intervention, of a qualitative nature. In which the Lauro de Castro State School, located in Natal / RN, was studied. The research involves a 6th grade class, 21 girls and 17 boys, totaling 38 students. Our intervention took place in two stages: the first with face-to-face classes and the second with remote classes motivated by the pandemic crisis during the year 2020. Having a total of 8 weeks (16 classes), each class lasting 50 minutes. Given this current educational scenario, we teachers need to reinvent ourselves every moment, in order to propose an education that contemplates new ways of teaching, contributing to the teaching-learning of our students, making them critical, reflective and creative individuals. The analysis of the application of comics in the classroom, through participant observation, of the interventional research work related to the thematic contents of school Physical Education, proved to be a great differential for the development of skills such as: teamwork, in which students students were motivated to work with their colleagues in the organization, where they were immensely involved in the distribution for carrying out the tasks, authority to develop their narratives through creative scripts, in addition to encouraging students to have more autonomy, having in view of the responsibility attributed to the student with the given proposal.
