JOKES AND URBAN SPACES: A STUDY PRACTICE OF THE ENTERTAINING CHILDREN OF DIFFERENT SOCIAL CLASSES FROM MARINGA- PR ABSTRACT: This study aims to examine how children of different social classes of Maringa city, PR play in urban neighborhoods. The work is characterized as qualitative with the use of ethnographic techniques. The field of study observations encompassed the neighborhoods Villa Emilia (low class) and Jardim Novo Horizonte (upper class) and interviews with the children in the poor neighborhood. We noticed that one major difference is that the rich children are not found in there and they are possibly in their homes or other closed places and institutionalized, while poor children play constantly  in the streets, sidewalks and vacant lots. The former are far from leaving their play in community life where they live, on the other hand poor children are already appropriating the spaces of the neighborhood to play their practices.
