Abstract
This is a theoretical article with a reflective content, in which it is proposed to reflect on the use of playful strategies, such as creation at stories and storytelling, in communicating with children who lost significant people through COVID-19. In the face of various changes, doubts and losses, it is essential to ensure the child safe spaces for dialogue. And for one who establishes the role of talking to the child, it is important to have at their disposal an instrument that allows the fluidity of communication about delicate themes, such as death and grief, in a way that allow that the child expresses her doubts, her fears and her anguish in an approach that centered on child and family care.
