ABSTRACT: With the social distancing imposed by the pandemic caused by SARS COV-2,many students around the world found themselves estranged from theirschools and friends, with limited access, in many cases, to an educational environment. The literature points out the importance of such an enriched environment, especially for students with High Abilities or Giftedness with regard to the development of their potential, talents and self-concept, in the motivationto promote learning and for emotional balance. Concerned with this issue,researchers experimentally promote a playful home enrichment model with four gifted children in the ancient Egypt theme. The results were promising, taking into account the feedback from the participants, learning aspects and the evaluations carried out throughout the process. This fact has motivated the desire to expand the proposal as a means of educational supplementation, even post-pandemic, seeking more quality in teaching and greater motivation on the part of students.
