This research addresses the uses and appropriations of Educational Resources (ERs) produced within the scope of the Professional Master's Program in Physical Education in the National Network (ProEF), seeking to understand their potential for strengthening pedagogical practices in school Physical Education. The problem that guided the study was: how can ProEF ERs inspire pedagogical practices and reinvent themselves in other school contexts? Its objectives were: to map the ERs produced in ProEF; to analyze the uses and appropriations of two ERs aimed at Early Childhood Education and the Initial Years of Elementary School in another school context; and to develop an application that gathers and socializes these productions. The research adopted a qualitative approach, of the Multiple Case Study type, based on participant observation, field diary entries, and children's productions (drawings and narratives), involving 35 children from a public school in the municipality of Niterói (RJ). The data analysis was conducted in light of Everyday Life Studies (ELS) and the contributions of Michel de Certeau, especially the concepts of uses and appropriations, productive consumption, and strategies and tactics. The results showed that the REs, when appropriated sensitively and creatively, become living devices, capable of inspiring new practices and strengthening children's protagonism in pedagogical mediations. The children showed themselves to be authors of the experiences, recreating proposals and re-signifying spaces and gestures, while the teacher-researcher also (re)made himself in the mediation process. It is concluded that the ProEF REs gain full meaning when critically appropriated, constituting themselves as tools for continuing education and shared creation in the school day. As a follow-up, the "Chão da Quadra ProEF" application was developed, with the purpose of expanding access and circulation of these pedagogical experiences.
